T.C. posted:Not needing a referral is unusual for a specialist clinic and no base level rooms may be something they needed an exception for, but it sounds to be generally in the spirit of the overall system. There are lots of private specialist clinics around that work by being efficient at one thing. The no-referral thing may be unusual, but one of the surgeons explained it to me: apparently, they were having trouble with non-specialists diagnosing hernias improperly, so they just said "gently caress it, we'll do all the exams ourselves so they're done correctly." Maybe the exception had something to do with not playing nicely with the general waiting list for surgery? I'm not sure how any of that works, to be honest.

You should have probably been looking for a new job after two weeks of this poo poo. If they get a new job, it could still take a few weeks to start, so even if the shutdown is ended today, the guy or gal that comes back to work may just clean out their desk and leave. My husband is in a coveted job in the federal government - they've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars training him, and he has dedicated his professional life to this country. I know, I know - that sounds very corny. But my better half is an Eagle Scout who has never voted Republican in his life, and just wants to Be a Good Person. He got accepted into the Coast Guard's officer school after he finished college, but didn't end up attending. People like him aren't going to quit, we have to just ride this out.

Lightning Knight posted:61 support for border security isn’t great tho and I’m still displeased that the Democratic compromise position remains “we stand for smart border security and not dumb wall They’re not getting any message besides that or Wall, so I’m not too surprised. If you described American border policy under Reagan most Democrats today would probably say it’s way too lax. I mean, much of the credit for the modern situation on how people get deported is Bill Clinton’s handiwork: https://www.vox.com/2016/4/28/11515132/iirira-clinton-immigration Immigration policy as it stands now is the product of bipartisan efforts. This is true with a lot of unpopular policies that a newly woke post-2016 Democratic Party base has not reckoned with because it’s still fundamentally attached to the idea that we gotta love our ex presidents.

As well, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot actually don't want to come back. I can see somebody who depends on a regular salary to support their family deciding that they don't want to put up with repeat performances of this bullshit for the next 2-6 years now that Trump has developed a taste for going "Who runs Bartertown?"

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:The Canada Health Act doesn't actually dictate delivery, only health insurance. i.e. privately administered clinics and hospitals are perfectly fine. It's just they must always accept public health insurance. According to a few sources out there private hospitals were banned in 1973 in Ontario with the aptly-named Private Hospitals Act, just that Shouldice and a few others were grandfathered. There's been controversy with this in the past when the hospital changed hands, and there was at least some movement to repeal the Private Hospitals Act under Wynne, not sure if it's gone through now. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/lif...article4550469/ Don't worry, I wasn't bringing this up as a bad faith gotcha on Canadian health care; I'm Canadian and a big supporter of the system we have here, thankyouverymuch. Just thought it was an interesting case of a Hospital that sorta plays outside the rules, but as the quoted post below discusses, is (mostly) free (if you live in the right part of town). PT6A posted:As a Canadian who was treated there: mostly correct, but I'll add some additional info based on my own experience. Cool, interesting info. I know of Shouldice myself from my parents (Doctor and Nurse) and the fact I grew up down the road from it. They consider it a bit of an odd duck; according to them it bends the rules of the Canadian healthcare system in some ways but get away with it because of grandfathering, being really good at hernias and staying in their lane (also hernias), or at least that was their opinion. The semi-private room is a bit of a hack on their part to get some extra fees in there; how much was it to get that mandatory "feature"? Usually it's not too bad for hospitals, just wondering.

This sort of stuff is why I don't think the shutdown can't last past February, let alone two years. It's just too catastrophic to become BAU. The question isn't will someone crack, the question is who cracks first. Considering the cracks in the Senate that have already appeared, and the Democrats really not taking the blame... I feel optimistic that McConnell holds a vote by Friday.

The problem with McConnell holding a vote is that's only half the solution. You'd still have to get house repubs to come up to bat for a veto override, assuming Trump doesn't just whine about the betrayal and sign the cr. If he does veto it, you need 2/3rds of the house. And that's a tall order.

mod sassinator posted:No one getting a good new job within 2 weeks in this economy. At least, no one without a CS degree and specialization in machine learning, AI, etc. In this economy? If you are an unskilled laborer you can find an another unskilled job. If you are an IT contractor you can find another IT contracting job. Those aren’t difficult. If you are an office worker with decent pay and good benefits, then yeah - you should probably wait out the shutdown. But there are a significant number of government workers for whom a lovely private sector job is a lateral move that at least provides a steady paycheck. If only 10% leave that still creates a significant drag even after you account for the month-long work stoppage.
