"DSK" wrot

If it was, then such a belief would be correct, wouldn't it?

A belief is based on incomplete sometimes erroneous info even tho it may be
true. A fact is not.


About not going to a doctor? Sure it's practical,....

It would be if we were allowed to treat ourselves but we are not, at least
not in the USA. I need a couple simple compounds to stay alive. The only
legal way I can get them is by obtaining a MD's permission. Ergo it is
impractical for me to avoid seeing an MD regularly.

... When you can absolutely guarantee that you yourself never make any
single mistake, ...

First, we're not talking about "never" or "single mistakes" or even minor
mistakes, we're talking about over 125,000 people being killed every year.
Second, if I were being paid MD's wages I'd expect to be at least as error
free as say the early space program. A nonsupervisory PhD scientist gets
paid $120/yr by our rich uncle Sam whilst most MDs think themselves
underpaid if they earn less than 10X that. Of course MDs pay high liability
insurance premiums. So do male teen drivers - for the same reason.

.... Also remember that between 60% and 99% of the cost of your
medical care comes out of somebody elses pocket...

Smoke and mirrors! When I bid on a cost plus contract I include medical
benefits as part of wages, then add overhead and finally profit. I could
give that money to the workers without changing profit but could not legally
keep it as profit. The company is simply a middle man distributing part of
each workers' earnings to some medical insurer.

Enjoy your turkey.
