“Lower-cost equivalent quality sites of service, for example, can be good for consumers and patients but threaten revenue streams for organizations that depend on charging more for care.”
Yes. That’s the whole idea. Correct. Yes.
@tek Fuck that guys so hard. Straight up, he is taking ZERO responsibility and laying blame at the feet of government regulation. No wonder his co-worker was gunned down in the street.
@smallerdemon It’s rare that I want to shake someone while screaming “do you hear yourself?!” in their face.
@tek @smallerdemon Well, this lesson brought to them by three bullets. Wonder what they might learn next, from three more?
(Gift-wrapped in a pretty box, of course. In Minecraft.)
@erosdiscordia @smallerdemon He seems to be betting it was a fluke. I suspect we’ll find out.
@tek @smallerdemon That's a damn risky bet, considering the statistics.
@erosdiscordia @smallerdemon I agree. Doubling down on greed when a huge chunk of the country is applauding your predecessor’s assassination is a bold move.
I bet they always assumed the guillotine was for other people.
@tek Probably went to business school for this insight.
@tek So in an effort to identify with folks they said the quiet part out loud...
You know, I grew up believing Humans were intelligent life...
@j4yc33 “So you see, we’d love for our policies to stop bankrupting and killing people, but we might make less money.”
Points for the sheer nerve to actually go on record with that.
@tek “Through decades of federal and state policymaking and private sector innovation, we have a variety of programs, structures, and processes. There are strong merits to that variety as they can be more tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals at various stages of life and health status and provide extra help for those who need it. It avoids a one-size-fits-all approach, but it needs to be less confusing, less complex, and less costly.”
The fuck does this even mean?
@waterbear “We've captured the regulations, dammit! Do you not see?”
@tek all too well :(
