one of the interns today started going on about social justice warriors and tumblr not five minutes before, he busted this line out in reference to someone saying they were gonna do what their wife wanted over the weekend - "well, that's how things go in all of the tv I've seen, not that I would know because I don't have a girlfriend" can't imagine why buddy, can't imagine why

As a Millennial I posted:...and fix the pinball machine" Ha! You and your single pinball machine. We have two broken pinball machines at my office. How long can healthcare costs spiral out of control like this though? We recently instituted the same BS of having to get approval from the insurance company for prescriptions your doctor wrote, that someone here was complaining about.

TerminalRaptor posted:How long can healthcare costs spiral out of control like this though? warning: careposting imminent the real answer is: healthcare costs can rise faster than inflation as long as worker productivity per hour goes up. most jobs, productivity goes up by leaps and bounds across the decades. factory workers are 3x as productive per hour as they were 50 years ago. software developers are probably more like 10x or 100x versus 50 years ago (not that they produce more software, but the software accomplishes more with less effort). civil engineers are at least 2x as productive, maybe more, because better tools enables fewer engineers to do more and higher quality work. other jobs get no improvements whatsoever. a concert violinist produces exactly the same amount of hours playing violin as she did in 1950 and 1850 and 1750. a teacher can get exactly as much one on one time with students as 50 years ago. but the most important, and frightening, consequence is in healthcare: doctors and nurses have the same number of hours in the day as they ever did. what this means is that the costs of products in high-productivity industries fall (consumer products, software, cars, electronics) while the costs of products of fixed-productivity industries skyrocket (education, healthcare, classical music). wages have been falling for forty years. cheap imports protect the middle classes from a falling standard of living, because their lower wages can buy the same amount of goods at a lower price. no amount of import substitution will protect them from skyrocketing costs in health and education.

that care post probably would have fit better on actual hn than here on hn it would have been voted into oblivion almost immediately though. its audience cannot tolerate the thought that technology doesn't handwave away problems. e-surgery!!! have one doctor do ten patients at once!!!! end licensure!!! crowdsourced nursing!! uber for LPNs!

in contrast to h.p. hovercraft's experience:
in a way it's a "good" thing that healthcare costs rise against all other goods: it means all other goods are becoming less expensive relative to labor. rising healthcare costs are a sign of a healthy economy whose growth is driven by technological advancement and rising worker productivity, instead of birth rates and natural resource extraction the real problem is that wages have been falling for forty years while worker productivity has skyrocketed in the same period. unaffordable healthcare and education is the first sign to many american families that they're getting a raw fuckin deal in an incredibly prosperous era Notorious b.s.d. fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Feb 5, 2015 |

reduction of errors is intrinsically tied to increasing productivity the less time you have to spend loving up and cleaning up your mess, the more time you have to actually do your job health care is such a gold mine for productivity changes i honestly think it won't come close to being fixed by the time i retire, it's orders of magnitude worse than that story about the military pay system
