Why is American healthcare so expensive: A Neurosurgical ASC in Buffalo, NY does 3000 neurosurgical case / year safely and at a discount compared to the hospital. Medicare patients aren't allowed to use the state-of-the art facility because of the Medicare Inpatient Only rule.

" The COVID response was a symptom of replacing the culture of questioning in science and medicine with a culture of authority It didn't matter what was actually true... what mattered was whether you were aligned with authority. " - Jay Bhattacharya, NIH Director.

The geniuses who make healthcare rules disallowed physicians from running hospitals when they passed Obamacare because of “misaligned incentives”, but “anyone” can open a home hospice / healthcare agency in California. Enter the Armenian mafia. Monty python wld like a word.

Apparently someone from Sinai took folks with cad and did IVUS before and after psck9 inhibitors and showed plaque melting away. And yet a 12,000 strong RCT (VESALIUS) of pcsk9 inhibitors in high risk 1º prevention patients had a 13% adverse event rate at 4 years. 🤔

![Hi Suhag, My friendship was hardly “conditional” on whether I converted. We remain good friends and I treasure the friendship. I guess you take offense to practicing Christians believing your faith to be in error. That isn’t a choice they’re making. It just is. Your devout Christian friends, if they truly are devout in the conventional, most common sense, if asked would tell you that you don’t have a path to salvation that doesn’t involve rejecting your current beliefs and believing in Christ. I’m gathering that’s offensive to you and many others, but I take it the same way someone thinks I’m wrong about healthcare policy. It’s just an argument to rebut. I’m not about to deplatform the sitting Vice President JD Vance from making his argument. It wouldn’t be the first time a husband has made a faux pas with regards to his wife in a public setting , but its also entirely possible his statements are not taken by Usha as you would take them. She’s a powerhouse in her own right and is more than able to handle herself. As to the normative nature of American politics, I think the idea America was NOT founding on Christian principles is a secular myth. The founding fathers either believed in the divinity of Christ, or were deists who accepted the the teachings of Christ as exemplary. The post reformation persecution of the Protestants in Europe was relatively fresh in their minds, so they viewed freedom of religion as inviolable but they absolutely subscribed to the fundamentals of Jesus’s teachings — “ the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man.” Jefferson was a deist who didn’t believe in Christ’s miracles, criticized the priestcraft that perverted Jesus’s teachings, but hoped that “.. the dawn of reason.. [would] restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this the most venerated reformer of human errors.” It is progressive revisionism of history (that Hindus should be very familiar with) that leads to this idea that America was not founded on Christian principles. It very much was, and I imagine you will be hearing that more and more. Understand you think the American Vice President talking to a turning point crowd about Christianity is disconcerting to you. Your thoughts on Prime Minister Modi and his words here? Translation to English : “Ram is the faith of India, the foundation of India. Ram is the thought of India, the law of India. Ram is the consciousness of India, the contemplation of India. Ram is the prestige of India, the might of India. Ram is the flow, Ram is the influence. Ram is the norm, Ram is the policy. Ram is the permanence, and Ram is the continuity. Ram is vast, Ram is expansive. Ram is all-encompassing, Ram is the universe, the soul of the universe.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1984782157726839097/amplify_video_thumb/1984782021525172224/img/0xENYYKf34SfwcoH.jpg)
