i disagree I think you are going to see a flush most of the time.This is a bluff or a 6 a tonnnnnnnn, he'd probably give you action before the river with a flush. Snap snap. -
The Joint Commission is therefore virtually a monopoly, enjoying unique statutory protection in the USA and collecting $113 million in annual revenue, mainly from the fees it charges US hospitals for evaluating their compliance with federal regulations. From the Wiki article, I mean thats not really that much money (too much granted) but that isn't going to solve the problem when we are talking trillions.

GL and I agree with you on both those points. I worked for a major pharma company at one point and I think the cost of drugs would go down some what if there was an overhaul of FDA regulations. Many of the rules are reactions to threats that no longer exist.malpractice reform.JCAHO is a big source of additional expenses. I've heard that their accreditation standards don't always correlate with the overall goal of making hospitals safer. It's a plausible thought... standards organizations have to keep changing the rules to stay relevant. see: the MLA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Commissionbreak the link between healthcare and employment by killing the tax incentive. people seem to think I'm the antichrist when I mention it... I guess they don't realize that it's just money being spent on their behalf out of their paycheck anyway. it would also decrease unemployment as a nice side effect.I'm about to start a job with an insurer, so I'm sure I'll have more to say on this in a few months. -

One thing I have noticed reading through this thread is that it seems that people seem to think that the system can go on like it is. And I have been (maybe incorrectly) lead to believe that our system can not continue "as is." An incredible amount of our GDP that is going to healthcare is staggering. It is also having wide range impacts on things such as small business's whom are being crushed under the weight of healthcare spending. A friend of mine is the accountant for a scrap yard in rural PA and they have 52 employees and are going to pay $600,000 for healthcare this year. That is a staggering sum and probably equates to about 10% to 20% of a persons wage in healthcare( I am talking about the amount an employer pays for a person to work there, not the amount a person takes home). Combine that with the amount of money they spend on other healthcare related items co-pays, various preventative uncovered costs and it amounts to unbelieveable% of money a persons wealth.As a country in 2006 we spent 16% of our countries GDP on healthcare and that number is expected to climb to almost 20% by 2017. I unfortunately am not a smart person and I have no idea what the right answer is with healthcare but I do know as a semi trained economist a country can not spend that amount of money on healthcare and be a viable economy (especially when you throw in the amount of GDP that goes to pay interest charges on our debt).Anyone have any ideas on how to decrease spending instead of just bashing the current ideas out there?

Did anyone listen to Sean (shawn i forget which) Casey do color comentary? I think he was pretty darn good all things considered. I like Eck but Dave Roberts is pretty bad. Really I miss Remy but I have a feeling he isn't going to be back till at least the playoffs. Anywho... crazy games lately. The Mariners showing whats up. I am glad Ken Griffey is going to retire as a Mariner. Ashame he couldn't stay healthy.

was this the dude that as soon as he hit the dude called the 911 and complete cooperated with the police? cause if he did this I wouldn't support a lifetime ban.Sit out a season.If he tried to run from the scene of an accident or tried to use some sort of tactic to get out of the crime then I would definitely vote for lifetime ban.But bottom line is he ****ed up but after he ****ed up he did everything he could to make it right. Thats gotta say something right?

don't forget about the people who buy ProPlayer energy drinks for their wives anniversary.Well, let's see. Relevant advice for poker. Although psychoanalysts disagree about many topics there is a consensus that gambling derives from a masochistic impulse, a desire to harm yourself. The psychological struggle for the gambler is the battle to resist the impulse to lose. In the professional poker world you will note that every professional poker player, although they are an overwhelming winner in at least one game, inevitably seeks out other games to gamble in which they are not proficient. Inevitably it will be possible to go broke in an alternative game. Some of these games include professional sports betting (Mike Matusow, Doyle Brunson), prop betting (Daniel Negreanu, Ram Vaswani, Tom Dwan), pit games (T.J. Cloutier, Josh Arieh, Scotty Nguyen), and high stakes poker (Gus Hansen, Phil Laak, Dustin Woolf). The best thing about poker is that there is always a game going and you can sit down and play. The worst thing about poker is that it is a concentration camp for the maladapted, emotionally impaired outsiders of the world.gmanshade -
