Because a random person on the internet equates to a national government?
We have random people on the Internet running for president. It's not that big a leap.
Think about the news in the past week. We had a Duck Dynasty guy speaking at the national convention of a major political party. We had another speaker at that convention claim that the opponent is "serving Lucifer". The clock is running on our moral superiority.
"Firstly, the game is seen as a form of gambling, which itself is forbidden. Secondly, it encourages belief in Darwin's theory of evolution, and thirdly, the fatwa says, the symbols used in the game promote the Shinto religion of Japan, Christianity, Freemasonry and 'global Zionism.'"
Somebody needs to tell them that it's not a Star of David, it's a sheriff's badge.
Some potential reasons, in no particular order... any of these may or may not be true:
"May or may not be true"? Then you might as well add, "Obama is using Hillarycare Benghazi Mind Control to prevent European doctors from moving here. Lock her up!"
Just saying that "doctors aren't moving so they must be happy where they are" is simplistic.
So then so is saying, "doctors are fleeing universal health care and coming to the US to make private $$$, and that's why you see so many South Asian doctors."
but we can measure brain activity that leads to the physical response of arousal and establish a cause and effect relationship between the two.
But what you cannot do is establish a cause and effect relationship between brain activity and anything that is provably like, "free will". Or God. Or "consciousness".
This story is pop science crapola. The same people who would consider themselves "skeptics" when it comes to the basic physics of global warming will swallow neuroscience in one greedy gulp.
I didn't have to roll out of bed this morning, but I did. It doesn't mean I exercised free will, unless you believe "free will" means the same thing as the ability to stumble about blindly and do random things for no good reason.
The idea that a part of the brain "controls free will" just because there is activity there when certain decisions are made is pretty dumb when you think about it.
Just because there is activity in my pants when I see pictures of naked women does not mean my pants control my sex drive.
The US had 1.8 million foreign-born health care workers (16% of all health care workers).
How many are physicians?
Among foreign-born workers employed in health care occupations in 2010, Asia was the leading region of birth (41 percent); followed by Latin America (not including the Caribbean) (18 percent); the Caribbean (17 percent); northern America (Canada and Bermuda), Europe, and Oceania (14 percent); and Africa (10 percent).
It's very interesting that they have to add Canada, Bermuda, Europe and Oceania together to get to 14%. Considering the number of nurses from the Philippines, My guess is that 100% of that 14% are from there.
So, where are all the doctors who flock here from countries with universal public health care? Before and after the ACA, you just didn't see them coming. The UK has had a public system for SIXTY-EIGHT YEARS. Where are all the British doctors who came to America to flee the persecution of universal health care?
Well, let's see, back home, at the hospital in town, the anesthesiologist is Pakistani and the cardiologist is Indian. In the town I grew up in, the general practicioner is an NP, and the MD shows up once a week to do token oversight.
This was your statement:
" Doctors in other parts are dying to get to America to make that private $$$ that they can't make back home."
Pakistan and India both have private medicine. If they're coming here from Pakistan and India, it's not because those countries have universal health care.
And why don't you see doctors from the UK, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, etc etc moving here to make those sweet sweet private $$$? If universal public health care is so horrible for doctors, why didn't they flock here before the ACA?
Now I realize my tax guy farking up is much less serious than my doc farking up. Still, the crap doctors have to keep track of/order tests for/ just to avoid a lawsuit is mind boggling.
Next time someone in your family needs serious surgery, or has some life-threatening disease, you should just ask your tax guy to do it.
Because why should we have regulations on the medical industry? Why should there be malpractice insurance?
Doctors in other parts are dying to get to America to make that private $$$ that they can't make back home.
Is that why our hospitals are filled with doctors who have come here from the UK, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, France and other countries with universal public health care?
Fucking knuckleheads don't take ten seconds to think about what they're typing before they hit SUBMIT.
Does anyone else think the news that SpecOps guys are switching to iPhone is somewhat suspicious coming on the heels of the military's new policy about transgenders in the military?
"Yahoo"... The brand is the problem. It sounds like a good name for a personal website in 1998 (with 85 gifs and a turquoise background).
Say what you will about those ugly old websites, but at least they weren't tracking your every move and trying to upskirt your personal data for profit.

Stop interrupting. We're trying to have our Two Minutes Hate against Muslims here. No fair bringing up our own Right Wing Conservative Theocrats.
Somebody needs to tell them that it's not a Star of David, it's a sheriff's badge.
"We"? Are you Saudi Arabian?
Did you even read the fucking headline?
Banning these violent haters has already started:

So, you're saying that Trump is No True Conservative? That these white Trump supporters who murdered police officers are not True Conservatives?

You win.

There are virtually no real conservatives in the United States. Just reactionaries dressed up like a hate group.

You might want to learn how to spell "Calvinist" then. Just saying.

It sounds like public universal health care is not the disaster for doctors that some would have us believe.

I believe he's implying, rather explicitly, that there are celebrities with careers, who can get paid to leave the house.
And then there are celebrities who will appear at the Republican National Convention.
Just tell them that rare Pokemon have been spotted near an ISIS encampment.
Does anyone else think the news that SpecOps guys are switching to iPhone is somewhat suspicious coming on the heels of the military's new policy about transgenders in the military?
Just asking.
No, it doesn't. Look again.
Actually, it went up $14 and then down $14 during that 30 days. You can only make money on the moves.
