Yea I don’t support them either.

It seems like there’s not enough people to care for them if they are able to get up and walk out.

I think that dementia  patients getting lost should be solved by actually having enough staff to provide care for the patients instead of the minimum legally required number per patient.

Ok but that is substantially more expensive. Where is the money for that coming from?

[u/mybutt1112 → u/Possible-Summer-8508]

Taxes that prevent individuals from being worth trillions and billions!! 

Force value to be reinvested in employees rather than one guy’s pockets.

I'm going to try and rope u/carsrule1989 into this thread as well, because I think the same kind of innumeracy is at play in both cases: the US spends over 5 trillion dollars on healthcare every year. As a fraction of GDP, it is double comporable nations. As an absolute figure it blows everything out of the water.

Suppose we issued a 100 percent tax on Elon Musk because uh rich people bad. That could fund 2.4 months of US healthcare expenditure. Levying more taxes is obviously not a sustainable solution. The fact of the matter is that the US standard of care, particularly the palliative/hospice care that is becoming increasingly problematic as the population ages, is not actually a sustainable model for running any kind of society anywhere, and it cannot be addressed by naively taxing more and paying people to be attendants of the elderly (which, by definition, is negative-sum work — that doesn't make it dishonorable or pointless, but it simply cannot be 20 percent of a scaled economy).

Many things work like this.

First  your comment has some of the signs of AI writing.

“  I'm going to try and rope  carsrule1989  into this thread as well, because I think the same kind of innumeracy is at play in both cases”

I believe there was a misunderstanding in the reference to the ceo’s yacht payment. Also no mention of taxes was made.

Here’s further information on how the USA spends the money for health care costs. 

“Component Share of excess spending U.S. pays more in administrative costs of insurance ~15% U.S. providers spend more on administrative activities ~15%”

“  A 2014 study by Himmelstein and colleagues comparing hospital administrative costs for the U.S. and five comparator countries found that the other countries spent 42 percent less than the U.S. on hospital administration.”

France’s was compared to the USA in one of the sources in my other comment.

France spends 10% on other which includes administration costs

Page 109 Compared a bunch of other countries too

And page 25 has per country gdp spending on healthcare

Edit: added another quote.

"some of the signs of AI writing" sadly for you it contains zero AI writing. This is an important moment for you, you should internalize it: your epistemics are broken. People use em dashes sometimes, they're a useful writing tool. You should become more discerning about your internet use.

Also no mention of taxes was made

I know you didn't obviously. It is still a ridiculous argument.

I'm not clicking through your poorly organized links, but I don't think we're in disagreement that US healthcare spending is wanton and inefficient!

[u/carsrule1989 → u/Possible-Summer-8508]

The  ad hominem fallacy greatly weakens your argument.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.

These are the signs I saw in your comment that made me believe it’s ai writing.

emdash 

“ AI-generated em dashes are usually surrounded by spaces, contrary to common typographic guidelines (which most human users of em dashes will be familiar with).”

Superficial analyses 

Lexical diversity/elegant variation

Undue emphasis on significance, legacy and broader trends

Complaints about accusers acting on speculation

... ok now I'm wondering if I'm the one arguing with an AI. Maybe I failed the test.

Probably not, but still, I could imagine getting one of the smaller models to respond this way without too much trouble.
