Hey Republics are good, and CA isn't one. CA is more like a "social democracy".In a Republic gov't has a striltly enumerated list of powers, and economic intervention isn't one of them. In a Democracy, gov't can take on any power as long as it's labelled as "for the common good". --- On Thu, 9/24/09, Bill Cardell <[email protected]> wrote:

BS. Is there a "turbo czar" that regulates the quality of Garrett's turbos or FM's kits? Customer service and quality improves due to competition. Regulations are favored by the big players in ANY industry because they shut out smaller competitors due to the high compliance costs. This started in the 1890s "progressive" era - big business got obsessed with *cartelization* by getting gov't to write "regulations". Their PR firms went overtime selling the idea that it was for "the public good". Even Upton Sinclair realized that the new meatpacking regulations his book inspired simply favored the big players to the detriment of the smaller players. Hey FM, get your Congressworm to write a "Turbo Act" requiring $10k of testing of every kit, to shut out small startups. --- On Thu, 9/24/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Why do the prices of turbos go down while health care goes up?

But I wantto say the single largest reason why healthcare is so expensive, is becuase it cannot operate as a free normal market does with normal goods. The governemnt has imposed so so so so many regualtions, taxes, red tape, hurdles etc all over the place that it take 1000 people just get a caprel tunnel release done. If we could back the governemnt out of this and let the market function normally, you would see prices of common surgeries drop like intel waffers. That is the simplest function of a market, supply and demand and where they intersect. Casey Sent from my iPhone While there are many checks & balnces to consider, the very reason for the existence of those checks & balances was POOR QUALITY health care by hospitals and practitioners. In business, it is assumed that someone will have established proper Methodology, Process, and Procedures, to assure that activities associated with the business get performed in the correct manner. If the health industry was to revise its take on Process and Procedure, perhaps some of the governmental checks & balances would not be necessary. However, as long as the 2 PM tee time at the Country Club is more important than Mrs. Smith's Arthritis treatment, the health care industry will have to be regulated. Think I exaggerate? Talk to Nurses sometime... Listen to THEIR take on what goes wrong at hospitals or in Physician's private practice.
