Healthcare - Part 1 - Why so expensive?

In America, by all accounts, the cost of healthcare is simply extortionate, and in the second part, we will address that issue with solutions.  But wait, what about an allegory. . .

Example 1 - I need someone or a business, to fix my flat tyre:

In this instance, there is actually quite a fast, efficient service to be used:

1) I find or know of a car repair shop.

2) I take my car there.

3) It's repaired.

4) I pay (and this is important.  I PAY, not my insurance, not the state, but I PAY.  Please note this, as there is NO intermediary between myself and the business)

Example 2 - I have broken my finger, and need it repaired:

1) I go to the one clinic / hospital emergency room in the area, as there is so little choice or competition.

2) And now it gets interesting; I will then go to Registration, to register myself as a Customer.

3) I then go Admissions, to be admitted.

4) Then there is the Insurance problem, as in the previous two stages, there will naturally be questions about how or what I will pay with.  Normally, it is NOT myself, but my insurance company or the government.

5) I now, will FINALLY go to the correct Department, presumably the ER to have my finger looked at.

6) It will not be just anyone there that I will see, but a Doctor; not a Nurse, Nursing Assistant, etc.  Correct, I will have to be diagnosed by someone, who will be doing something FAR below their pay grade, in order for my poxy finger to be looked at.

7) The bill will be paid.

Have you noticed something?  Of course.  As probably there is no other economic transaction, even when you buy a house, that will be as complicated as something that should be so effing simple as getting my finger fixed.

In Part 2, we will look at this problem in far more detail.

Good Lord, she's back. . .

Just when you thought it was safe, that annoying, illiterate Swedish fascist, is now returning to our screens on the BBC (paid for by yours truly, and the other license fee payers).

I’ve heard more and more from this revolting, arrogant, ignorant hater, and that she would be partnering up with that other sanctimonious, POS, David Attenborough;  no doubt on some form of nature or natural world type of propaganda hit piece by the BBC, where lecturing and looking down on us, plain mortals, will reach pandemic proportions.

My own opinion, can be found on the simply BRILLIANT blog, “Not a Lot of People Know”:

But it’s more than that, I simply think that the parents and the MSM (the scum that they are), are perpetuating a form of child abuse on this poor, doltish, clown.   I thought that we wouldn’t see her, until post-scamdemic, so being on the cover of this week’s Radio Times (the go to mag, for all things Aunty), made my weekly trip to Lidl, quite nauseous. 

I despair!

The Week Ahead - BAFTAs! / Why is Healthcare so Expensive / More Wokeness

This week, we will once again look at some of the awfulness in the world and in particular, here in old Blighty.  

We'll start the week looking at the acting profession, and their VSing at their annual, rigged award shows.  The below quote from Salma Hayek, says it all really.  Simple unbelievable!

The BAFTAS are once again with us, and following on the dreadfully, woke, racist, Royal Television awards, they're trying to outdo them - if this is even possible.

The second thing for the coming seven days, is our new, monthly "thesis" on all things political or economic (Editor: "Don't you have an Economics degree?).  It will look at why the price of private healthcare is just so high (predominantly in the US), and our solution (part) to the problem.  We'll look at it from a micro-economic model; as many have NOT done before.   Please await our genius!

Finally, move insane pieces of fascist, racist wokeness.

Prince Phillip - RIP - Some comments

Unless you are not of this world, you no doubt would have heard of the Duke of Edinburgh’s death yesterday at the age of 99. I would have loved for him to have made 100; he seemed just so cantankerous, lively, etc, that this milestone would surely be met.  On the other hand, his recent illnesses made this announcement almost a foregone conclusion.  But hell, he should have made it!

Saying this, I noted that through all of the no doubt, pre-written epitaphs, one thing did stick out, no doubt to many; is that being an environmentalist (that he was) is NOT a recent, woke, hipster lead career!  The Duke had been doing it for well on 50 years!

This point is almost ALWAYS lost on your neighbourhood, woke moron.  Who comes complete with their vegan attitude, smart phone permanently attached to their skyward facing palm, and a TOTAL ignorance about history, and even recent history.

If I were to tell them that the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency in the USA, signed into law by the Republican President, Richard Nixon) was set up 50 years ago, something that no doubt their teachers or MSM have not told them; they’d look at me as I I’d exposed myself to them!  Their ignorance of anything outside of their narrow, bigoted worldview, literally flies over them.  So in reality, I should not be that surprised to realise, that if they know fuck all about anything recent, that there is no way in hell that they would ever be able to fathom what occurred in the early 70s.

Please note this interview, and in particular, the sheer surprise of the Duke, when he mentions that most idiots care more about zoo animals (or animals, being FORCED to be in zoos!), than about the real problems of endangered species in the wild.  Downright unbelievable!

Woke Woche - BAMERS in Classical Music. . .

 

Yes, ever since Hazza and Megs (that loathsome pair) decided to have a black token, play some classical chunes at their wedding (Or was it their wedding? Didn't Megz say they were married three days earlier? - Editor), it seems that there has been an abundance of BAMERs in classical music!  

Or at least in the adverts for it.  Astounding!  Every time that I’ve attended one of these recitals, there are none; either in the audience or on stage.  I must have missed something...!

Really, this is now ridiculous patronising and lecturing, that is completely vomit inducing.  It’s strange, the same MSM or BBC, who have constantly been telling us that there is a dearth of BAMER classical musicians, must NOT have been paying attention to all the adverts, billboards, or concert program covers! 

It boggles!

I for one, will NEVER attend one of the SCO's (Scottish Chamber Orchestra) or SSO's (Scottish Symphony Orchestra) concerts again.
