En vogue topics for the 1990s were “not having sexual relations”, the wars in the Baltic states, WTC bombing, Whitewater.
HIPAA was highly en vogue, much more than any other era health related topics.
24/7 news cycle came into being, remember.
HIPAA added a tremendous amount of cost to health care.
I am not surprised to learn none of you wish to cede this point.
Evidence?
My personal experience here in the US.
That’s not evidence. You haven’t accounted for your bias of living through one time vs another. Anecdotes in general are garbage evidence.
Perhaps in a trial, but this is not a trial.
And as earlier stated, you don't live in the US.
You have nothing to go on as far as personal experience from the 1960's through now, living in the US and dealing with healthcare in the US.
So, while your opinion is it is "anecdotal," and therefore, "garbage," you then concede through your own writing anecdotes are evidence.
ANOTHER FE VICTORY!
Neither you nor Dave live in the US.
So what?
So what, what?
You don't live in the US nor does Dave.
You haven’t provided any evidence, Dave has. Provide some evidence.
You ignoring the evidence doesn't mean it hasn't been provided.
I provided a link to an article stating exactly how regulation can lead to higher costs.
In this very post, I provided you with the act written in 1945...prohibiting insurance company competition.
We are discussing your claim that it was the 1990s when healthcare became the en vogue topic. Please try to stay on topic.
No, we are writing about whether the government and regulations lead to higher health care costs.
Please try to stay on topic.
There was an act in 45 preventing outside competition from other insurance providers, which none of the presidents (except maybe Trump, perhaps) has sought to overturn.
He’s as corporatist a president as any other.
Who has given indications he isn't producing corporatist results.
No one. Glad we agree.
If government gets out of the business altogether, things will no doubt get cheaper.
Maybe. I hope for you me sake it’s the case.
Every once in a while, you end up writing something truthful..
Thanks puddin’
