Actually health care costs are rising because we keep inventing tons of amazing drugs to take and then paying enormous profits to the drug companies making them. Also we came up with a hundred different treatments for cancer which are all super expensive so instead of just dying of cancer now you can bankrupt yourself on cancer treatments and then live poor and miserable for another ten years. The hilarious part is that those countries with nationalized health care not only spend far less on health care per capita, but they also live longer and have better outcomes. Maybe being bankrupted by your health care treatments is actually bad for your longevity?

I spent money on weird al's entire discography when I was younger, ending in Poodle Hat I think At the age of about 16 I had a eureka moment, "what the gently caress am I doing listening to just this" and threw all of it out. Not all of it's horrible but I had to make a clean break

We also fail to grasp that dollars spent upfront on preventive care and access to affordable/free care are cheaper than the health Care system absorbing or spreading around the costs of the uninsured using the emergency room as their sole means of care.

Healthcare costs keep rising because healthcare in the US a nightmare vortex of greed and incompetence and waste at every level. Pharmaceuticals, medical devices, for profit hospitals, non-profit hospitals, health insurance, ambulances and related emergency services. Everything is incredibly hosed up. Here, let me pick an example since I had to look this up while in a a random national hospital chain recently. Would you like to guess how many insurance plans this database has? It's 21,700. Each of which covers, and has its own billing codes for a gigantic array of procedures. Do you know how much time hospital staff has to spend trying to get insurances to pay out for care? how many cagey tricks doctors and nurses need to know to be able to do their jobs effectively? Billing by itself is a titanic drain on man hours and resources in health care. It's astounding how terrible it is.

I think my first cassette was They Might Be Giants - Flood because of that Tiny Toon Adventures episode. My first cd that I intentionally bought was probably Doggystyle, though I had for years ended up buying random stuff in hong kong that just turned out to be cd's. Like you'd buy a disk claiming it was 50 bootleg games and whoops, you just got yourself some jpop or a copy of Dream Theatrer - Images and Worlds.

As someone who is still in the middle of payment confusion between provider and insurance for his child's birth 19 months ago, I know this firsthand. Just today they called and my loving amazing wife got on the phone and tracked down that it's basically an accounting disagreement between the two parties - the insurance may have charged back overpayment twice - and for some reason the provider called us to pay them for it? And my first cd's I was given were the Mortal Kombat soundtracks. First CD bought was Jewel - Pieces of You. First tape I got as a gift was a DC Talk tape when they were still rappers.

I think the first cassette I was given (Or asked for?) was Silverchair's Frogstomp cause it was the mid-90s and I was in elementary school. First CD/music whatever I bought on my own was either Van Halen's 1984 or Rush's Moving Pictures. Either way, they both got played to the point of massive skipping around and necessitating replacement copies.

I remember before anti-skip built in to the players came out, the trays you could set your cd players on during road trips that were supposed to prevent skips. They didn't work. Man, when it went from 5 to 10 to 45 seconds then to skipless cd players it was such a game changer.

I upgraded from casette player to cd player because our house was broken into, and aside from all the valuable stuff that got stolen, the assholes grabbed my tiny, cheap boom box on the way out.Neil Armbong posted:I remember before anti-skip built in to the players came out, the trays you could set your cd players on during road trips that were supposed to prevent skips. They didn't work. Yeah, I bought like a $140 sony CD player one year with like 10s anti-skip and then like a year later got a $30 one with 45s skip that was an impressive upgrade

fsif posted:First like five were Weird Al gently caress I just realized. I was thinking of the first heavy metal tapes I bought in high school but I totally bought a couple weird al tapes brand new when I was in grade school. Dare to be stupid and Polka Party. I'm pretty sure I had a tape with a copy of don henley on one side and dark side of the moon on the other, too. Also I had a handful of vinyl before high school. I had a record player for a few years in my early teens. Def Leppard's Pyromania was one. I think I had Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense, too. e. I had little colorful records when I was like 6. Sesame street, an extremely extremely abridged version of star wars, muppets, some fairy tales. Those things with a companion storybook where it would play chimes when you were supposed to turn the page.

My dad had that one on vinyl.For the longest time as a teenager, I only had four CDs. They were the Batman Forever soundtrack, Superunknown, whichever Weird Al disc had Amish Paradise on it, and Gravity Kills' debut album.
