An educational Gresham’s law and the Irish state financing private medicine

Stacy Summary:  Anyone else watch On the Edge live?  Had a bit of problem recording it, so will only be uploading the interesting interview with Rob Kirby.

It says the low rate of income recovery from patients who were treated privately in the 24 hospitals reviewed “would suggest that the State is facilitating private medicine without getting the related income for the service it provides”.

    @ Stacy
    Hey there Stacy,
    Is there any chance that you and Max will have Bill Still Patrick Carmack on one of your shows as they are releasing The Secret of OZ? Alex Jones had them on and I would like to hear what you and Max would have to say to them regarding how a Gold backed currency would not be the solution for our monetary mess. My dream show would be the two of you, Bill, Patrick, Peter Schiff, David Walker and all in a sit down conference talking about the monetary system and where things are going. That would pack some serious punch.

    The answer is complete self sustainability. OFF the Grid with everything paid for. A concrete Dome Home with Solar and Wind Power and an Aquaponic closed loop garden (Green House or Not). Also a fresh water source nearby with a reverse osmosis system. Everything battery backup. Depending on the scale of the system this complete lifestyle would cost less than living in a McMansion on the Grid. Do it.

    As a point of interest on monetary phenomenon, (fsnoot) its a matter of curiosity that the Yen is advancing against all currencies. The world can’t afford a sub-90 Yen, but here we are:

    imo, Japanese investors in Gold will not be disappointed should the Yen see a change of direction, if they had thought ahead and acquired bullion while the Yen was surging.

    This is exactly what gold is for.

    @max keiser – and you were inciteful? ;)

    @ Stacy – Re: the following sentence from the Irish hospital article:

    “It is high time that we moved away from the dysfunctional, public/private hybrid, two-tier system that we currently have, to one where all patients receive the same high quality treatment,” she said.

    How depressing it will be if that problem gets fixed before the US is able to do ANYTHING to fix our freaking mess of a “system.”

  8. Mep | September 11, 2009 at 11:06 am |

    You are both always a good mix of insightful and inciteful. :-)

    @Mep – welcome back; I missed you, sniff sniff

    re: the Irish situation, @Danny is going to have to advise how the private sector came to get involved with the public health there . . .

    Thank you Stacy, I’ve missed you all, too.

    The political situation is really bad here, and I’ve had to pull back on some of my online and real-life interactions because of it. One good thing about it for me personally is that everything that has been going on has given me a lot of perspective and ideas about a future dissertation. But I’m still very much angry and freaked out about the state of things here in the States–especially where health insurance/care reform is concerned. The sham debate has set us up for what I believe is going to be an atrocity of reform legislation; it’ll be a windfall for the people who destroyed the system (just like the bank bailout was a windfall for the turds who burnt the house down), but little else. It makes me really sad that we hate our fellow man so much that we can’t do what’s right. You and Max were right to get the hell out of dodge.

    you Libertarians are sooooo perpetually wrong in your solutions….you’re hysterically predictable and destined to make the same, stupid, insane choices despite your intelligent ability to recognize the problem.

    i love watching you run around while us leftist economic expert “french taunters” make fun of you libertarian “silly english knnnnnniggets”

    hahahaha

    Hey Stacy and Max,
    I am very thankful for your efforts to explain the crisis all around the world in a entertaining and clear way.

    Bought some gold and shares of mining companies in 2005. Now I am sitting on roses.

    Thank you all.
    Will keep following you.

    PS: Max keep up the good analogies..
