Joe Miner Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 advanced age infers a worse prognosis, in general. life expectancy also is less. cost/benefits start favoring costs. but he was also saying that the outcomes are improving and they are becoming more open to doing older patients. hence, my comment that time will tell if the 3-5% is a static or dynamic range. So no, he didn't. Thanks for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdog1960 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Can you balance a checkbook? everytime you're faced with a losing argument, the ad hominem attacks come out. i've lost count in this thread. at least you could try some other fallacious argument from time to time. and Joe Miner, you're so clever that i don't even want to engage you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying that Cheney doesn't fall within a "range", so therefore the range, being static, might be increasing. That's so completely idiotic, we can only question your basic math skills.

Alaska Darin Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 in this instance: organs for transplant. if you want, we could generalize it to health care. "Health Care" is a scarce resource? Really? You mean the HMO Act of 1973 didn't do its job? I'm sure with 2500+ pages, "Obamacare" certainly will cover all the holes. didn't we just do minimum wage? If you mean "did we prove that bd1960 doesn't understand basic economics and 'cause/effect' relationships", then yes, we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
