1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: So back in the day when we first got acquainted

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: with Craig got Walls, we called him Craig the Obamacare

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Lawyer because helps us understand what the legislation actually was

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: and what it would mean, as opposed to all the

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: political spin flying around at the time. If you like

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: your doctor, you can keep your doctor, et cetera. I

7
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: think it's worth mentioning that always came to the conclusion

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: that Obamacare is going to lead to single payer payer

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: healthcare all across America. It's inevitable. Get ready for it? Well,

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: and Craig was almost always one percent right. He is

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: now known as Craig the Healthcare Guru, and he joins

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: us to discuss cal Unicornia leading the way friends toward

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: bringing socialized health healthcare to everyone, including illegal alien aliens.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: Craig got Walls, Joses, Now, Craig, how are you. I'm well,

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: how are you, gentlemen? Good? So, unbeknownst to many people,

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: Gavin Nucelini of cal Unicornia proposed something like universal healthcare

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: the other day in the budget. What do you actually proposed?

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: What does it mean? Well, I've got a couple of

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: things going on at the state level right now, Gavin's

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: proposal was was kind of a quiet and the easy

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: one because in the past, in the past two years,

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: we extended medical which is California's version of Medicaid, and

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: that that is the that is the government sponsored healthcare,

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: the taxpayer funded healthcare that is designed to help the

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: low income. Now, it is worth noting before we go

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: ahead in when the government passed Medicaid, it was designed

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: to cover the lowest two percent of income folks in

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: the United States. As of the latest government research in

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: California alone, of all children are on medicaid and fifty

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: percent of all births are now covered by Medicaid. You know,

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that because not to get too

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: far off track, but that's why you gotta fight things

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: like build Back Better, all those programs that they're trying

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: to get started where it'll just help this many people

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: for this long. These are how these things start and

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: you go from it's gonna cover two percent to it's

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: fifty anyway back to you, Craig, that's right. And one

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: more fun fact on this in nive when the government

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: passed Medicare and Medicaid, the government actuaries which I heard

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: earlier or on a podcast yesterday from you all that

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: that's one of the number one jobs in America. Yeah,

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: government actuary said, you know what, it's gonna cost twelve

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: billion in nineteen ninety. So they looked out, they said,

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: this is this whole thing is gonna cost clubly. Well,

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: it actually cost a hundred and seven billion, and nineteen

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: ninety they were only by a factor of nine. So

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, we whatever we're doing here in California, you

48
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: can assume they're going to be off by a factor

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: of nine as well. So back to what Newsom did

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: with respect to unlawful residents. Um, we had two years

51
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: ago we had made it so that anybody here, whether

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: they're legal or illegal, can have free government medical through

53
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: the age of twenty six. Last year they said, well,

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's not fair to just give it to

55
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: the young people. We ought to give it to the

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: old people too, So last year they made it legal

57
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: to give it to anybody over the age of fifty.

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: And this year, of course, they closed donut Hole because

59
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: we don't want to discriminate against the middle aged. And

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: so now the proposal is everybody who's here illegally can

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: get free medicaid. For all, perfect example of entitlement creep.

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: How you know, those just outside the window can reasonably

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: make the argument, hey, I'm just two years old or

64
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: what hell am I getting? That's why entitlements always grow.

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's just like going back to whatever that

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: book was we've talked about, where it was for Civil

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: War veterans, then it was civil Civil War veterans wives,

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: and it was for the children and the wives of

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Civil War well, anybody who was alive during the Civil War.

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: And then pretty soon it's everybody. Um, while up to

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: over fifty now closed the gap. Everybody incredible, everybody now everybody,

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: And and that's how you get from two percent of

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: people are going to be covered by this low income program.

74
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: So now half of all births are covered by the

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: low income program. And everybody listening should know that Craig

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: absolutely knows what he's saying when he uses the word free.

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Um oh yeah, free. You know, Craig, one of the

78
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting and revealing things you've taught

79
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: us through the years is that whether Congress or a

80
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: state legislature like California, one of the tricks they use

81
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: is they say, well, this will be affordable because we

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: will cut the compensation to doctors by and they'll just

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: take it so the numbers work. But of course that

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: never happens because the legislature in question never makes that

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: cut because no doctor would see any patients. What sort

86
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: of high jinks have you seen in the California build

87
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: it that make it dishonest? Well, you you absolutely nailed at, Joe.

88
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: That's that's exactly what happens is they say we're gonna

89
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: trim this, We're gonna trim that, we're gonna cut this

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: so so far in the California. So the Gavin this

91
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: is just the Gavin proposal. This one's the easy one.

92
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: This one's gonna pass, the one we're talking about here

93
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: where we're going to give free healthcare to all all people,

94
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: whether they're here lawfully or not. The other one that

95
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: Democrats proposed just recently is an even more aggressive I

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: would call it beyond Medica to care for all. So

97
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: it's confusing when we've got medical that Medicaid, which is

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: low income Medicare which is for seniors, and at the

99
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: federal level they talk about Medicare for all, Medicare for all,

100
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: but that's never gonna happen honestly, because Medicare costs something

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: like fourteen thousand dollars per citizen, whereas Medicaid only costs

102
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: something like four thousand dollars per citizen because it reimburses

103
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: doctors so low. What what they're doing is they're setting

104
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: the targets out at Medicare for All. But ultimately what

105
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is what they've done exactly here with

106
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: this illegal alien bill, and that's they're they're going to

107
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: slide in Medicaid for all because Medicaid, even though it

108
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: would blow up our budget, would blow up our budget

109
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: only to the tune of one third of what Medicare

110
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: for All would blow up our budget. So what California

111
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: has done simultaneously with what Gavin's proposing is in the

112
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: legislative level, we're proposing cow Care, which will be one

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: step beyond Medicare for All, because this will be a

114
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: government run agency and a bore of government directors that

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: will coordinate all of our health care in the state

116
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: of California. This is the one that gets rid of

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: insurance companies and says basically, it's kind of like VA

118
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: for California. So UM I believe that this is going

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: to happen. It's just going to happen. Get used to it,

120
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: bend over and take it. So what is what is

121
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: the world gonna look like in terms of access to doctors,

122
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: number of doctors care, that sort of stuff in your prediction. Yeah,

123
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to share. I wanted to share a few

124
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: just my opinion is I guess useful, right, But I

125
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: wanted to share some statistics with you on this. If

126
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: you right now are seeking a disability, and you have

127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: a disability and you have to get that disability through

128
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: the Social Security Administration at the federal level, your average

129
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: right time to get paid is six hundred and thirty

130
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: three days. Okay, that's how wealth government handles insurance. Now.

131
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: One more, just with respect to healthcare in the VA,

132
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: because this California Care thing is gonna look a lot

133
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: like the v A if they get it done. In

134
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: the v A reported, hey, we've got weight times down

135
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: to eight days. Great, because they had so many from

136
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: independent audit showed it was twenty seven days. Point being guys,

137
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: we're going to see these kinds of weight times or

138
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: more whether you're trying to get a claim paid to

139
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: see a doctor, to see a specialist right now because

140
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 1: of all the people we've thrown in the Medicaid kids

141
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: can't see kids in the Medicaid system, of which half

142
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: of them were born into the Medicaid system, can't get

143
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: mental health expertise because the reimbursements are too low. A

144
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: few mental health providers and we can't we can't do it.

145
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: Why that's rough. Do you see any sort of like

146
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: I know that they have in Canada and Great Britain

147
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: where they have you know, government paid for healthcare where

148
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: you have a different sector for people who can afford

149
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: it of private healthcare. That that that that pops up

150
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: in California and becomes popular with a certain sector. Yes,

151
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: depending on how they ultimately craft this legislation. Jack Sometimes

152
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: sometimes they talk about making that illegal in the state,

153
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: and what happens, You're just going to have all the

154
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: high end folks leave the state. But if they make

155
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: it legal that you can buy up, of course that'll happen,

156
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: and we'll have a bifurcation in California and we'll have

157
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: this the haves and the have not. You end up

158
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: with more inequality, inequity, whatever you want to call it.

159
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Then and then you have now, right, and I think

160
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: you'll see a lot of folks from the middle class

161
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: to leave, just out of principle to even you know,

162
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: if they're not the rich folks who are being screwed directly,

163
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: not just to mention the taxes it's gonna take to

164
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: pay for all this. Well, right, But here's a question

165
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: for you, Craig. And I asked this partly because I'm

166
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: looking an email from a listener whose daughter gets their

167
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: insurance through essentially Obamacare, and cannot find a single medical

168
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: professional to take her business in the medium sized California

169
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: city she lives. She asked to drive an hour away

170
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: to a much larger city to even see a doctor.

171
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Will these laws compel force doctors and specialists and nurses

172
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: to see people in spite of the paltry compensation rates? Well,

173
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: of course these the proposed legislation does not state that.

174
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: But you're you're going to have to get there. You're

175
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: going to have to get there if you're going to

176
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: make it work. And there's under our constitution there's no

177
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: way you can compel a doctor to not retire, for example,

178
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: So it just won't work. Um, But yes, ultimately that's

179
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: where you have to go. They're not. They're not saying

180
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: that out loud, of course, and it's I'm constitutional um.

181
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: But that's the mess will be in and your your

182
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: note with that listener on Obamacare is remember Obamacare still

183
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: reimbursing significantly more than medicaid. And where I think all

184
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna end up is medicaid for all, and

185
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: it's going to be that much worse because Medicaid for

186
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: all is within the realm of possibility on the budget.

187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: On the budget by the way, right now fo dollars

188
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: liability per citizen in the US they like to talk about,

189
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: you know, the thirty trillion dollar debt. Fine, but thirty

190
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: trillion means nothing to you and me. What means something

191
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: to you and me is that each of us oh

192
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: four dollars to bring us back to neutral on the

193
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: US dead clock. Isn't medicaid the one that they say

194
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: you're better off with no health insurance than that. There

195
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: have been large university studies in the state of Oregon

196
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: that showed that that showed heart health outcomes and cancer

197
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: outcomes were actually better if you didn't have that insurance

198
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: because you weren't compelled to wait so long for such

199
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: poor care. Wow. Now, now you'll hear people debate that point.

200
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Obviously that but but there are studies that show that,

201
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: repeated studies that show for certain times of care, you're

202
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: better off with no insurance than with Medicaid. Craig got

203
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: walls online, the healthcare Guru, um, anything else of note

204
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: that we should cover before we let you go? God,

205
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: dang it, don't you ever have a good news I

206
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: want to explain a piece of that, by the way, folks,

207
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: and it's I think it's something Tim Tim the lawyer

208
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Tim Sander first mentioned with you. When you start governmentizing everything,

209
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: like you say, oh, there's a program for that, there's

210
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 1: a program for that, you you lose out on charity.

211
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: So part of the reason that the expansion of Medicaid

212
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: has made outcomes worse for those with Medicaid is that

213
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: you see less charity care because hospital systems and doctors

214
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: and so forth say, look, we don't need to do

215
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: as much charity care because the government's paying for it.

216
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: So that's why you end up with those kinds of

217
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: situations unintended consequences. Well, and keep in mind that the

218
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: result of failure in the private sector is you get fired.

219
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: You lose your accounts, etcetera. Which is why a guy

220
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: like Craig, for instance, he has to be right. He's

221
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: not trying to pitch a political point of view because

222
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: he wants to get you to the police. He has

223
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: to be right for his clients or he will lose.

224
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: In the public sector and government, if you fail, you

225
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: get a bigger budget. So you're gonna see cascading failure

226
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: in the in the world of medicine, if I worked

227
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: with one disability carrier that made you wait six and

228
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: thirty three days to get your disability money, I'd be

229
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: fired in a second. That carrier to be out of business.

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: But you know what, that's the standard and our u

231
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: US social Security system. Yeah, thanks, complicated and troubling. Yeah,

232
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: thanks for crag. Good to talk to you. You're welcome.

233
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: Jan's good to hear from you. This is gonna happen

234
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: in the state of California, then it's gonna happen nationally.

235
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Everything is dragging it that direction, and you know, and

236
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: and people because most people don't understand what it means.

237
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: Enough people are in favor of it. It's gonna happen,

238
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: and you'll have a you know, the the older generation

239
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: will die off, and then you won't have anybody left

240
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: who remembers a time when health care was good and

241
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: fast and affordable. You've got this story from these folks

242
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: living in France and beloved, arm strong and giddy. Listener,

243
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'll read it to you now because

244
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: it's too depressing. Um uh. And and you know, at

245
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: the risk of making you, you know, put your head

246
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: in the oven, and don't do it, because you can't

247
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: get good medical care if you do. Um. You know.

248
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Stephen Bill put it in his fabulous book Bitter Pill

249
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: about the state of American medical care. The government is

250
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: involved where it should be, and not involved where it

251
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: should be, or not involved whar it should. It's non

252
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: involver it should be involved, and it is involved where

253
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be involved. And it is so screwed up.

254
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: And it has to do with lobbyists and people being

255
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: bought off and the rest of it. I'm not sure

256
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: there is any fixing it since among the public, the

257
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: greatest will for quote unquote reform is for government healthcare,

258
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: which will be a nightmare just and and and I

259
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: can understand. I mean, I deal with a lot of

260
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: prescriptions with my son. I've had my health stuff in

261
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. It's easy to want to

262
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: throw up your hands, stake just fine, just have the

263
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: government take it over, just so I don't have to

264
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: go through this again to try to figure out how

265
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: to get my prescription and the the insurance to pay

266
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: for it, and now commen, I have to go to

267
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: this farmer blah blah blah. But it ain't gonna be better. No,

268
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: no that right then? Oh right then, isn't that just dandy?

269
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: You know? You can comment on any of these things
