He painted a grim scenario and indicated that the U.S. military could have been bogged down and suffered steep losses.<br />Just one of those Cheney moments that you'll never hear quoted at TownHall.com or the Drudge Report, or any of the other NeoNazi sites on the Web.Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-35712962990649742722010-02-26T09:28:13.220-06:002010-02-26T09:28:13.220-06:00Thank you for that information, Anonymous.Thank you for that information, Anonymous.Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-79517868638708005972010-02-25T19:08:18.962-06:002010-02-25T19:08:18.962-06:00The PROFIT may only average 4%, but the amount the...The PROFIT may only average 4%, but the amount they collect is more like 60% of their "suggested retail price". I state that as someone who has worked for a variety of private practices and major hospitals for decades. The Docs/hospitals know they have to accept a reduced amount from Medicare, and private insurers, in order to secure "provider contracts", so they start out asking for more than they need. In the rare case someone actually pays the bill themselves, they pay full boat to predatory care providers, and get the Medicare rate billed to them from benevolent providers.<br /><br />Gupta sounds to me like he is a shill. "Numbers lie, Liars use numbers". You can configure costs, expenses, profits using and excluding whatever data you like. Look at Gov Pawlenty's budget that only accounts for inflation on the spending side, but not the revenue side.<br /><br />-The "Other" JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234638383123311700.post-76081654450086994172010-02-25T18:54:33.152-06:002010-02-25T18:54:33.152-06:00That's absolutely criminal, MadMike.

What's probably REALLY eating Cheney up is that so many have come forth with proof of what an out and out scoundrel he truly was and that will soil the mythical "legacy" he's attempting to spin!
