In Defense of Ignorance

[TooTall]

I never believed it but yes it was a lie, a damned lie and they knew it

Apparently so was Don's "I'm gonna cover everyone".

he will? it isn't his job. it is up to the individual to buy it. All he'll be doing is providing better policies to choose from. we don't need no stinkin government to tell us what to buy or have to buy.

Agree. But I guess that means we'll then need to rely on the stinkin' insurance companies to give us plan choices that will only include precisely the benefits we want. 'm sure CIGNA and Blue Cross will happily deduct the cost of benefits I don't need from their cookie cutter plans. Yeah, this willful ignorance thing is really gonna work out for me!

well I'm still not sure why a doctor can't just create his own client base and reach out to the insurance company to get his patients covered per his prices and structure, vs the insurance structures.

Not sure how that's going to get big pharma to offer americans the same pricing they offer Canadians.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG INFORMATION FOR LOW INCOME RECIPIENTS BY: SANDY WRIGHT, BUREAU ON AGING FREE OR REDUCED COST PRESCRIPTION DRUG ASSISTANCE:

The U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging recently released a report describing the program of U.S. drug manufacturers to provide free prescription drugs for low income patients who cannot afford them.

This little-known program is called the “Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Indigent Patient Program.” Each year, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Association (PMA) publishes a directory that lists programs established by individual drug companies, to provide free drugs. Each company establishes its own eligibility rules and decides which of the drugs it produces will be included in the program.

Medications are obtained on a case-by-case basis. Typically, the physician simply must state in writing that the patient needs the drug, has no way of paying for the drug, and is poor. Then the company will send the drug in question (typically a 3-month supply) to the physician to give to the eligible patient. Physicians may reapply on behalf of a patient for further prescriptions.

wel I know that Hannity had a doctor on that did this and his pharma needs are in step with Canada. Hannity even asked the GOP if they considered this doctor's co-op as a boilerplate to success.

Sure, Hannity has a handle on it. I must say, you're on the right thread my friend;

Umbehr, the founder of Wichita-based AtlasMD, was a guest on the Fox News program The Sean Hannity Show Tuesday evening to discuss the business and how it can be used to drive change within health care"

Now we know why you're in here.

Plato said at the time that: '' Democracy won’t work if people are ignorant. ''

We exactly same situation even in 21st century. So, please don't think absolutely democracy is a good think before starting your search.

There is an article about that:

When my kid tells me he'll be home by 10.00pm and doesn't roll in until 1.00am, and his excuse is that he was at Jimmy's house studying, I take him at his word. I don't call Jimmy's parents to check out the story. I trust, I don't verify.

Similarly, when my President tells me he has no financial connection with the Russians, I trust him. I don't need to see his taxes any more than I need to talk to Jimmy's parents.

Also, when the President says he'll release his taxes, that Obama wiretapped him, that everyone will get health care, that he won't take a salary as POTUS, I believe him. I don't need proof of any of these things any more than I needed to verify that Obama was born in the US.

If Jimmy pulls in crooked, and enters the door stinking of Boone's Farm wine, and you've caught him in other lies, are you still so trusting?

I would suggest a part time job and the leveraging of the resultant funds in the procuring of a better grade of wine.

Yeah, Boone's Farm? Is that still even a thing any more? What's next? Bartle & James?

Boone's Farms is still sold in all the Wal-Marts, so I guess it's still a thing. The shocking blue one always gets my attention. I mean, I know white wine goes with fish and red wine goes with beef, but what does blue wine go with?
