    The giveaway was mostly to fund electronic medical records and the upgrade to standards in line with the WHO documentation standard

    Bullshit. The vast majority of health care funding goes to health insurance companies profits, not fucking record keeping 🤦

    The money that was provided

    I’m talking about the money STILL being provided every day of every year. Whichever cherry picked one time payment you pick, it’s nothing compared to that.

    I was at a top ten health in the US org

    Ah, so THAT’S why you’re so adamant about defending the ACA! You’re one of the ACTUAL primary beneficiaries!

    when the ACA was approved, we really started to make a lot of big jumps in progress

    That’s an odd way to spell profits.

      Do you even know that the bills are generated by your medical record? If it’s not in the record how do they know what to charge you?

      You are clearly ignorant and just cynical

        Yay, another strawman! I never said that record keeping isn’t important. I said that it’s not where anywhere near the majority of the healthcare funds are going and neither is treatment.

          Just because you cannot comprehend the complexity of a situation doesn’t mean someone is dealing in logical fallacy.

            Putting aside your arrogant “you can’t possibly know better than me, I worked at A BIG COMPANY in the industry” bullshit, that was a strawman no matter how much or how little I know or comprehend.

            Since you apparently aren’t aware, this is the definition

            straw man

            An argument or opponent set up so as to be easily refuted or defeated

            What my argument was and is: the vast majority of health care funding is not going towards record keeping. That most of it is going to corporate profits is the main failing of the ACA.

            The argument of your strawman version of me: The ACA is bad because record keeping doesn’t matter.

              if you understood logical fallacy I would argue with you more but you clearly don’t and you don’t understand the ACA or the cost of healthcare. So I am done with your idiocy.

              So here is some advice, if you feel a logical fallacy is being used you argue that but calling it out isnt the instant win you think it is. It actually just shows how intellectually weak your own argument is.

                if you understood logical fallacy

                I’ve literally just demonstrated that I do.

                you don’t understand the ACA or the cost of healthcare

                Newsflash: not falling for your pro-corporate gaslighting ≠ ignorance

                So I am done with your idiocy.

                Likewise, bootlicker.

                if you feel a logical fallacy is being used you argue that but calling it out isnt the instant win you think it is. It actually just shows how intellectually weak your own argument is.

                That I’ve demonstrated that your argument is based on inventing a false version of my argument to make it easier to defeat makes MY argument look weak? The one you couldn’t defeat without altering it?

                What the fuck have you been smoking?? 🤦

                  So I am a bootlicker now? LOL so accuse me of logical fallacies and then just jump right in on them yourself?

                  Well it was fun, have a nice holiday. Maybe try not being such an asshole next year.

                    Well since you’re spreading the pro-corporate propaganda you’re either wearing the boot or licking it and there aren’t many billionaires here on Lemmy to my knowledge 🤷

                    Maybe try not being such an asshole next year.

                    Right back at you. Hope whichever industry you work in now, if any, doesn’t bankrupt hundreds of thousands of people a year like the medical insurance companies do.
