:laff: see this is the shyt I mean

Did you read your article. This is the stupid shyt we're talking about:
:usure: and yet you skipped THIS part

A Florida law requires vending-machine labels to urge the public to file a report if the label is not there. The Federal Railroad Administration insists that all trains must be painted with an “F” at the front, so you can tell which end is which. Bureaucratic busybodies in Bethesda, Maryland, have shut down children's lemonade stands because the enterprising young moppets did not have trading licences. The list goes hilariously on.

But red tape in America is no laughing matter. The problem is not the rules that are self-evidently absurd. It is the ones that sound reasonable on their own but impose a huge burden collectively. America is meant to be the home of laissez-faire. Unlike Europeans, whose lives have long been circumscribed by meddling governments and diktats from Brussels, Americans are supposed to be free to choose, for better or for worse. Yet for some time America has been straying from this ideal.

Two forces make American laws too complex. One is hubris. Many lawmakers seem to believe that they can lay down rules to govern every eventuality. Examples range from the merely annoying (eg, a proposed code for nurseries in Colorado that specifies how many crayons each box must contain) to the delusional (eg, the conceit of Dodd-Frank that you can anticipate and ban every nasty trick financiers will dream up in the future). Far from preventing abuses, complexity creates loopholes that the shrewd can abuse with impunity.

The other force that makes American laws complex is lobbying. The government's drive to micromanage so many activities creates a huge incentive for interest groups to push for special favours. When a bill is hundreds of pages long, it is not hard for congressmen to slip in clauses that benefit their chums and campaign donors. The health-care bill included tons of favours for the pushy. Congress's last, failed attempt to regulate greenhouse gases was even worse.


:jawalrus: Which was the crux of the whole article...is there a basic literacy issue here..do you need a volunteer reading tutor??


u nikkas know not a damn thing about ICD10 codes so why talk about it? When I'm filling out a chart narrative, or looking through a patients past medical history, or a insurer is determining billing information, detailed information is key for treatment. The expansion of codes from ICD9 to ICD10 is due to increased specificity. Getting a burn on the right arm vs left arm vs a right leg etc - which is medically important. So what was ONE code in the past for burn on patient, is now 20+ codes to account for a specific region of the body. See: ICD-10: - ... | NueMD

Also we're the only advanced nation that was late to the ICD 10 game.

And the ICD10 codes deal with medical quality. Improving individual business processes within the hospital depends on individual process improvement efforts and less reliance on paper.

This is the Republican "I'm talking common sense" con game.

Not even worth getting into your less than qualified business credentials. You should probably know that 85% of fire departments in the US are volunteer. Aaaand you should probably know that I volunteer in one of the busiest counties in the nation.
:mjlol: Stop...im not going into your psychic credentials either but ill say this.....dont quit your day job miss Cleo...

as far as the medical codes..:yeshrug: i have no idea of the specifics..im not in medical billing but ill point this out in the same article that you glossed over

"" Every hour spent treating a patient in America creates at least 30 minutes of paperwork, and often a whole hour. Next year the number of federally mandated categories of illness and injury for which hospitals may claim reimbursement will rise from 18,000 to 140,000. There are nine codes relating to injuries caused by parrots, and three relating to burns from flaming water-skis."
:patrice: im no super special volunteer like yourself but im certain theres no way you can burn yourself with water skis....in three different ways

but according to you common sense is "con man" games ..right?


aaaand you should thank me for "volunteering" to alleviate your ignorance [:youngsabo:

Self-servicing is cost effective, and McDonald's being a corporation, it was only a matter of time before this happened.

People really need to consider a STEM career at this point in time.
Honestly I've been telling people with kids where college might be a bit out of the price range to pick up a technical skill. Mechanic, hvac, plumber, etc. I have family in the HVAC industry and they make more money...lots more money... than I do. During the summer we're talking like 20k a month.

The best part of this whole thing is they are literally cutting their own feet out from under themselves. There's a reason Henry Ford paid his workers and gave them weekends off.
