If you are thinking what I hope you are thinking, no, it is not House. It is none other than CNN's Sanjay Gupta, which is fine... I guess. If you are like me, and you watch CNN for 23 hours straight (Too obscure?), there is a slight history of Gupta being in strong favour of the lightly regulated healthcare industry. Being one with a record of having the best of memory... I think.... regulations are things we should start liking. We don't want to end up like that movie Wall Street where greed is supposedly the greatest thing since sliced bread.

No, not that doctor either. So continue to fear them.

Now, this isn't to ask what you think of this possible chance, but this is to ask you who should have been picked. In terms of tv doctors. Honestly though, we all know you wanted to say house. But come up with something more original.

Well, Jack Sheppard, of course.

Spinal surgeon or not, that man sure can grow a beard.

You must be a fan of FOX News. I would make a joke, but that would be too easy. But what the fuck, I'll bite.

Well, that's a no-brainer. It's like saying the Shamwow people try to make the product look better than it can be.

We live in a capitalist society, so television networks need ratings to survive. How does news compete with Nip Tuck? They make the news savage and exaggerated, and above all, with a dose of bias on the side.

I think you need to be exterminated. Yes you can win, It's called single payer health care. And no, the fine people at ShamWow do not exaggerate the super absorbent powah that a ShamWow possesses. Stop spouting lies Heretic.

Would like to disagree, and I am dead serious. ShamWow made me say "wow" a grand total of zero times, if you don't count the name of it.
Dead fucking serious.

Of course you count the name of it, that's how ShamWow avoids legal trouble. You can't even sue them without saying wow everytime, and by then you've already lost.

I remain firm on the idea that if we all live in bubbles then issues like this would not arise.

Yes, because basing our ideas on the biased opinions of film directors is totally the way to handle situations.

It will take more than this type of grammatically mindblowing rhetoric to fatally confuse the robot that created this thread, he was built by the best.

We shouldnt have to pay anything, thats the point. would you like it if someone robbed your house and you got a bill for $1000 from the police because they looked for the guy who did it? Same thing applies to healthcare, i think its the most retarded thing in the world that i have to pay someone else because i was in an accedent that most likely, wasnt even my fault, health insurence or not (we all know health insurence never really covers 100% of the costs when it comes down to something bad and expensive).

You clearly did not get the reference, doesn't matter. What does matter is this.
Did those non-regulations help the banking industry? Well that would explain the current economic optimism and bliss we are experiencing right now.

So, what you're saying is that Dr. Horrible should be surgeon general?

The pharma industry is already HIGHLY regulated.  FDA.  Now the problem is the FDA is under funded and the past president put pressure on the FDA to do "quick turnarounds" for requests and approvals.  Basically they had one of the most important gov't agencies and handed them a potentially illegal back door mandate of "if they contribute tons of cash, make it happen fast".

All gov't agencies are subject to lobby money corruption.  But the regulations are there, it's just a matter of whether or not we fund the FDA enough to do quality inspections and checks.  

People also misunderstand what the FDA is for.  The FDA does not do the actual check on drugs, they just check to make sure the companies making the drugs are doing proper QA/QC and to make sure the companies can prove they are following regulations.

I don't know anything about Sanjay other than 50% of the people at my work are all named some type of Sanjay or Shiresh.
