Are you actually trying to claim that doctors never make mistakes?
No....
I'm not entirely sure where you even pulled that from. I suspect it rhymes with "class," but I've never said anything of the sort.
Actually, I got it from the fact you seemed to be disputing my statements that there are checklists that doctors are supposed to use and if they don't, they are liable for damages. At which point, you questioned a statement I made previously, stating that doctors make mistakes.
However, it does seem I was confused about the topic of checklists. I had gotten the impression everyone was disputing sky's claim that doctors use checklists for procedures. If I missed some posts clarifying the issue, I am sorry.
Oddly, that's why I supported Sky's mention of checklists when he first said it, and later elaborated to Vene that existing checklists are not what Sky was referencing.
I can see your confusion.
I can see your confusion.
The "you just proved sky's point" nonsense was just tangential, I see. You evidently don't feel the fact that it wasn't an agreement was irrelevant.
I was pointing out that the poster in question, in an attempt to refute sky, was actually agreeing with him. Both were saying more people will be going to the doctor with the changes in health insurance.
Assumption, same as sky. the idea that there will be an immediate influx, especially with a timed input system. I mean, for your argument to be valid, the implementation would have to be immediate and there to be zero way to offset it in the time frame alloted
What everyone seems to be forgetting is that new doctors will not magically appear. As I stated, it takes minimum 7 years to fully train a doctor. All of the changes in health insurance will be in effect within 4 years.
Will every person who gets insurance go to the doctor at the same time? No, and I did not claim they would. However, arguments that the number of doctors will increase along with the number of insured is not quite right. The numbers will stabilize over time, true. (The number of doctors will increase and preventive care will reduce demand.) But the number of newly-insured is going to increase faster than the number of doctors.
Neither are true. The insurance options open until like 2018,
All changes go into effect by 2014.
Assuming we had to wait 7 years to get extra doctors, which is absurd to begin with. Yes, doctors starting now will take seven or more years to make it, but that doesn't mean that the change will be flat.

The article is a few years old. I'll look for a newer one.
