So I contacted my senator, and basically told him his pet project health care sucks ass.
Quote:
Thank you for contacting me regarding health insurance reform. I appreciate hearing from you. I have long supported the goal of ensuring that all Americans have access to stable, reliable, and affordable health care.
An untold number of Americans live with intermittent or insufficient health insurance, and nearly forty-seven million Americans live without any health insurance at all. Rising health insurance premiums and unemployment have contributed to the continuous rise of these numbers, and it is now more important than ever to create a stronger, more efficient, and more secure health care system.
The Senate Leadership is working to merge the two bills recently reported by the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee into a single bill for the Senate to consider. The goal is a bill that will strengthen America’s health care system by preserving personal choice, ensuring people can keep their health insurance, and reducing cost through competition. The bill hopefully will eliminate existing insurance company practices that discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions and will impose annual and lifetime limits on benefits. These limits on benefits have allowed insurance companies to simply stop paying for an individual’s medical treatment if that treatment is costly. I am hopeful the legislation will eliminate fraud and reduce waste in the health care system, as well as increase administrative efficiencies like providing the support and incentives necessary to ensure that health information systems are interoperable.
I will keep your views in mind when the bill comes before the Senate. I am hopeful that on a bipartisan basis Congress and the President will come together to enact health care reform this year.
Sincerely,
Carl Levin

Why's that? Because it doesn't support any arguments you're making ever?
No, b/c it actually completely backed up what I was saying.
Nevertheless the data doesn't represent reality in an accurate sense. It actually doesn't explain anything, it makes a correlation and basically states the a .8 correlation has to mean they are connected, which no statistician will do for fear of falling into a logical fallacy and looking stupid. Correlation doesn't equal cause and effect.
I for one do think there is a correlation, but in no way what you produced proves it or even attempts to prove it.
EDIT - not to mention if all you can come up with is an editorial on a study with no citation of the study, don't post it b/c most likely its been skewed to fit preference.

Figures that the psycho-bitch Speaker was speaking in Seattle - next to her own district, it's one of the biggest bowls of granola in the nation. You could tell by that fat fuck Jim McDermott who 'thanked' Madame Heydrich...err, Pelosi for coming to the Mold City to issue more of her jail-time threats.
And there, of course, was The One, dodging the fucking question...as usual.
Refuse to pay your fine, and you go to prison...where tax dollars support your incarceration. Really fucking bright, Barack.
"Hey, new guy! I'm Dave, in for capital murder, this is Joey, in for multiple rapes, and this is our resident 'banger Vic the Knife, mafiosi without peer. What'cha in for, pal?"
those people are my name sake. weve have millions of illegals coming into this country putting a REAL burden on our HC system, why dont we put them in jail or deport them for what they do to the system? why is it that americans are having to put up with this shit idea.
this bill says that health care is to expensive and tried to fix it by taxing the people who dont want to buy it....because its to expensive. So the only people in the country with a real "out" of the problem are getting boned as well under this gov. fuck these people and fuck their ideas.

That's OK. Statistics are a science. Economics is pretty much an art imho.

They are both outputs based off the inputs then interpreted by humans.
The numbers are fact many times based upon a very flawed or biased model, the explanations are philosophy.
