if you pay in cash he will gladly take the $80 as his staff doesn't have to fight the insurance company for it for it

Why would you think that?

If the bill says $120, you're on the hook for $120 w/o insurance.

Plus, my last doctor was a lady woman.

pro tip

negotiate a cash fee ahead of time

I have done this, it is a real thing.

I don't know if ALL doctors have a separate cash schedule, but many do, it pays to ask.

Probably some good 'ol boy doctors do it, and they'd rather have cash-in-hand than an IOU. On the flipside, I've had to write collections letters to specialty drug patients whose insurance lapsed for $60,000.

What is the fallacy for equating what is currently happening with what would have happened?

I guess you missed the 80 bazillion MSM news reports of NYC hospitals saying they are literally being overrun with COVID-19 patients? Like today. Now. Like hundreds of dead bodies everywhere. Panic, everywhere. Supposedly.

Here's one:
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc-deaths-top-1300-as-potentially-catastrophic-apex-looms-later-this-month/2356187/

You know the MSM doesn't publish anything that isn't sensationalized. Who would read a factual piece unless they get a little dopamine out of it? Also, you know lazy Americans, if you have to take care of one extra patient or work one extra hour, that is considered being overwhelmed. Got to get home to the Cheetos and ice cream.

Imposition of ORder = Escalation of Chaos

Quote from: Torque on April 02, 2020, 10:51:01 AM

“People generally fall into an economic class because of their psychology and their values. Each of the three classes has a characteristic psychological profile. For the lower class, it’s apathy. They have nothing, they’re ground down and they don’t really care. They’re not in the game, and they aren’t going to do anything; they’re resigned to their fate. For the upper class, it’s greed and arrogance. They have everything, and they think they deserve it – whether they do or not. The middle class – at least in today’s world – is run by fear. Fear that they’re only a paycheck away from falling into the lower class. Fear that they can’t pay their debts or borrow more. Fear that they don’t have a realistic prospect of improving themselves.”

~ Doug Casey

As usual, Pope George Carlin sums it up nicely

I would, however, argue that one's psychology derives from the class they find themselves in, not the other way around. That's the kind of victim-blaming, bootstrap-pulling BS status quo warriors like to spout to justify why people should starve while they buy their 3rd yacht. Because they clearly deserve it because of all their hard work! and a small loan of 1 million dollars

This sideways $6,666 reminds me of sideways $666 back in the day. Didn't we see rockets and trains soon after? Or perhaps my rose-tinted spectacles are back on.

Maybe if you move the mask down a little bit, then it you could see the road (to richie) a wee bit MOAR better. Wink

Weekly Jobless Claims Rise to 6.6 Million

6.6M people without insurance in the US.
Good.
What could possibly go wrong?

Pretty much anybody who is unemployed can file for state medicaid insurance (public insurance). When I quit my last job I got it. Of course my doctor at the time refused to see me as a patient anymore, because medicaid claims paid out like $20 less per office visit than sweet private insurance...

Let me better understand.
Under medicaid you go to the doctor, you pay nothing, and then the doctor is reimbursed 20 bucks from the government?
So he can decide to allocate his time to higher paying clients with private insurances or you paying 20$?
Is that correct?

No, you pay nothing but the doctor probably gets $80 for a basic visit from medicaid/medicare but he wants $100 so he refuses to see the $80 patient.

Also, not all insurance pays the $100 he wants so he may not accept your particular insurance even if you are covered. If you pay in cash, he will gladly take your $100.

There are countries without lockdown orders.

So it's not like it's impossible to imagine "what would have happened"...

April Fool ?

Yes JLO.

You might be the April fool, if you don't get bitcoin's upside potential to $33k-ish.

I am having my doubts about whether we will experience an ATH which would also include going into the territories of $33k-ish before the end of this calendar year, but I would NOT be poo poo-ing any kind of forthcoming rise to $33k.

It is likely not very much about whether, but instead about when.

So, even poo pooing the combination of whether and when aspect seems to be missing the point, just like when bitcoin naysayers frequently assert that down has to happen before up.. blah blah blah.. and yeah, they might end up being correct, but there is no "down has to happen" bullshit in bitcoin, when push comes to shove, including the fact that there are a whole fucking lot of likely desperate capitalists out there with way the fuck too much cash and likely an itching to put their cash somewhere that is going to give them some decent returns, so in that regard, bitcoin's low market cap, while at the same time decently strong fundamentals for anyone actually "in the know" provides great pumpening possibilities for a relatively very low amount of capital.
