QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) Millions having no access to care in the first place is at a minimum no worse. That is very similar to the VA, seeing as veterans face insane delays for a lot of their care. It is honestly exactly what I would expect to happen in a universal medicare scenario.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 04:33 PM) don't forget the example of "every other developed country in the world to varying degrees" Except those governments won't be running our health care system. Ours will.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) Counterpoint. The examples we have of the free market in the health insurance industry is probably worse. There is nothing worse than the VA system. Nothing. It is an abject disaster.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Nothing about Bernie's campaign has anything to do with real life. I will leave it with this thought. The two examples we have of the government being involved in health care are medicare and the VA.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Would be huge for the system to get Perez. Doesnt matter if Tim Anderson is in the organization. Having both would be spectacular. Years down the road, if it became an issue, you could always move one of them to another position. Honestly, it would be a great problem to have because it means we hit two home runs on drafting and development.

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 20m20 minutes ago The White Sox released minor-leaguers Scott Hairston, Maikel Cleto and Steve Lombardozzi today.

Troy Renck @TroyRenck Omar Bolden had good meeting with #ChicagoBears today. Expectation is that he will sign with Chicago... #Broncos

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) I read that his velocity is way down, and he's a big flyball pitcher too. Not bad to have more options I guess but I don't have high hopes for him, especially when a team that could have the worst rotation in the MLB cuts him. It might be down this spring, but his four years are all really close Fb Speed by year 2012 to 15 91.4 91.4 91.0 91.1

Interesting to compare his FIP and ERA by year ERA from 2012 to 2015 3.25 3.78 3.23 4.91 FIPs from 2012 to 2015 4.38 4.45 4.89 5.01

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 01:47 PM) You just completely made that part up. There is no reason to think that will be the case. Here is a good article describing what could happen under Bernie's plan. http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/25/news/econo...alth-care-plan/ I have personally seen in my home town how many places refuse to accept medicare because it isn't profitable for them to do so. Looking over this plan there is zero reason to think that trend won't continue, even more so if this is the only game in town. Like it or not, medicine does have to be profitable for places to stand in business doing it. Honestly from my point of view there is no reason to think this plan would actually work when real life is showing that no one wants anything to do with medicare now.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) I guess if want to remain ignorant and not even read his proposal that is your right but any criticism of his plan that you may offer carries no weight. I read it, and it is exactly what I expected. He'll unemploy an entire industry and most of the country will suffer for this new plan, with less care and options.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Read his proposal. It's all there. https://berniesanders.com/issues/medicare-for-all/ The link probably is all I need to see. With as few places as take medicare now, that should tell all right there. Not to mention how many people his plan would leave unemployed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) You just knew when Rollins picked the Sox he'd be opening day starter unless he looked absolutely awful in spring training. Basically we traded Lexi for Rollins. They were not prepared to give up on the season so to speak by going with a Saladino at starting shortstop. I'd be shocked though if Rollins plays as much as Lexi did. He might, but I somehow doubt it. Rollins had a great spring. He earned the job on the field. No one was going to play as many games at SS as Alexei did. Very few in all of baseball play that often.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) Show me that I'm saving money. Show me that the 2.2% will cover everything that my current health plan covers now and that I won't have to spend a bunch out of pocket to make up the difference. If you like your plan, you can keep it!
