Capitalism responds to the crisis

[Papageorgio]

He didn't assume anything. He reported what he was told. You once again didn't answer my question though.

Thats an assumption till it is verified

which is basic journalism 101

It is, which is why I provided other verified examples of the same type of things.

There is no verified evidence that the .58/$7 mask story is true

The company that is being accused is a Mexican company, not a US company. I researched the story. We still don’t have the name of the supplier in Mexico.

So, Scott Stein (that makes $1 million in compensation a year) the CEO of Pheobe Putney Health Care Systems is upset with a Mexican supplier for charging $7 for a .58 mask, while Pheobe Putney Health Care System is charging patients $25 for an aspirin that cost $.11, seems ironic.

All things many of us want to address. But nice of you to note the greed of the CEO.

I know greedy rich people and I know greedy middle class people and I know greed poor people and I know the government is greedy, where did I post otherwise? Go ahead show me. I’ll wait.

I didnt know the alleged company was mexican

maybe because the marxist influenced reporter failed to put that info into her story

Yep, you have to dig for that fact.

Price Gouging Laws by State - FindLaw

Great, thank you. Now back to my follow up question. Do you support the government restricting prices in this manner or do you support free market capitalism?

I think when there is a local or national emergency price restraints are justified

For many not being able to afford health care is an emergency. I consider it (along with many others) consider it a national emergency. I think many more are going to believe the same now.

I dont think doctors are acting irresponsibly nor is the public being turned away

this epidemic is not a good a good argument for socialized medicine

I saw a report that says getting treated for this would run around $35,000. Right now people aren't being turned away. It's all being paid for with socialized means.

Insurance is a socialized system. Those who can't pay have taxpayers pay.

I thought insurance companies got their money through premium, did I miss something?

If the journalist assumes news is accurate without verifying it some or much of what they report could be fake

He didn't assume anything. He reported what he was told. You once again didn't answer my question though.

which is basic journalism 101

It is, which is why I provided other verified examples of the same type of things.

There is no verified evidence that the .58/$7 mask story is true

There are verified examples of people not being able to afford the insulin they must have to survive.

Ok, start verifyin’

Face mask supplier 'charging hospitals $7 for 58-cent masks' as coronavirus crisis escalates

$7 for a 58 cent mask.!! Are there no laws protecting the public from this sort of abuse ?

Hey....moron....that company....is in Mexico...not the United States.........

Supplier charging $7 per face mask that typically costs 58 cents, hospital CEO says

"We were just looking at sourcing these [N95 masks] out of a company out of Mexico and they want $7 per mask.

Hey gunboy, where did I claim it was American ? When will you thick fucks learn to read ?

The nationalists are getting as touchy as the President. This is a human problem, not a national problem.

No more than the left wing nuts. It’s all the same.

I can opt out on insurance, when I want to. I can change companies when I want to.

According to the CNN interview it is a Mexican company, not a United States company.

Why doesn’t Mexico have laws against this price gouging?

Had the article been clear and the journalist been diligent, he would have included that in the article. Now, you look stupid.

It’s now a non-story thread. Now, go start a thread bitching about Mexico’s price gouging SOBs. Go ahead and get pissed at Mexico.

The head is about capitalism not the US specifically. The point still stands despite you not bothering to read the OP till now

I read the OP, the website would not let me watch the video, so unlike the lazy reporter I went looking for facts. So there are no laws in Mexico preventing this abuse, however the US has laws against it, but they don’t seem to apply for hospitals, go figure.

We also know your MO is to make the United States look bad.

Meanwhile, Britain had to make laws to cover this during your outbreak. Interesting, that only now your government cares about ripping the public off.

Curious that you think this is about making America "look bad". A Mexican company ripping off Ameican hospitals is anti American in what way ?

It isn’t run by the government, the system is 100% voluntary. That is not socialism by definition.

Your are very transparent in your hate for my country when every thread attacks our system.

A lot of stuff called socialism isn't socialism by definition. You are still socializing the risk.

But it isn’t socialism, you are twisting the definition. There is a profit that the insurance company makes, which means it is capitalistic. Also, it doesn’t treat all as equal, higher risk people pay higher premiums.

Insurance has nothing to do with that

Deflect away kids.

Stop trying to take advantage of a crisis.

I think we can see who is taking advantage.

I seriously doubt that.

No I didn't. I provided a link that stated quite clearly it was a Mexican company.
But lets follow your argument. Even if it was an American company they would quite clearly be an enemy of the American people and worthy of criticism. Why would criticising an American corporation for ripping off American people be anti American ?
You make no sense.

The story contained nothing about which company was overcharging. Did the video? The video would load so I went and found a site that would load and that still didn’t later the fact you corrected no one calling it American. Your reputation and muck raking proceed you. The only reason you claim I don’t make sense is because I caught you again. You stay over in your perfect little world and leave us the hell alone. You have no vote, you aren’t a citizen, you are no better than the Russians that tried to influence our elections.
