keep your friends close but your enemies closer

I'm just really curious about a tech issue. How in 2013 can a website with an unlimited budget and years of planning fail? It has to be by design imo. There isn't any way such incompetence is achievable, it has to be intentional. It must be because the exchanges are so incomplete and expensive that the website was designed broken as a method of delay.

Gotta love satire.

For another 9 days yet I happen to work for the largest Hospital Corp in the US. Let me tell you, it isn't at ALL about what's best for the patient anymore. It is all about making windfall profits and pleasing the stockholders. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Just one of the reasons I'm not a fan of big hospital chains or big multi-state banks.  Too easy for HQ to lose sight of the 'mission' for which the individual hospital was built in the first place.  There is a whole 'nother argument about the benefits and disadvantages of for-profit vs. not-for-profit hospitals.

Having said that, success, when achieved legally and within the rules one is given, is not a 'windfall' no matter the amount of money involved.  When achieved illegally or in disregard of the rules of the game, it's fraud and you would stand to reap a sizable reward for whistleblowing on some of that fraud you've witnessed.

guess it's okay to bend the rules especially when it's in your favor. like the financial meltdown, remember that.

Who said anything about 'bending' rules?  If the playing field is level, may the best win.

And if it's not level, blame the people who set the rules for setting bad rules.  If someone is cheating, punish them.  But if everyone is cheating, that means the game sucks and the rules need to be fixed.  

Someone who gets ahead by working within the system isn't at fault, even if you don't like the system.  Fix the system.

Sounds to me like we agree.

In other news about corporate honchos who contribute nothing to the well-being of patients (or anyone else), Mark Zuckerburg was paid $2.3 billion this year.

So, there's that.

Sounds like it.

of course you two agree, you're made from the same cloth. I'm guessing X-gen by the sound of it.

Daiwa and kantok... I third those sentiments. We all three agree.

See, you guys know what I'm talking about. Exploiting the rules to your benefit at the expense of others doesn't make it okay. In some instances those that are able to self regulate make the rules, again at the expense of others. I understand why you think it's okay but it's not.

Really, possibly you're just being contrary, it's difficult to imagine you agreeing with those underlying sentiments.

difficult to imagine you agreeing with those underlying sentiments.

Like creation 'science', you are expressing your limits, rather than reality. The fact that you cannot bespeaks how little you know me, as well as your own negativity.

gmc2 ....life is a 'competition'.  It has rules.  People live 'within' those rules.  The more adept succeed in managing/interpreting those rules better than others.

The exact same thing occurs with Formula One. [and any other competitive 'event']

It ain't rocket surgery...
