Healthcare Monstrosity 3⧸3： Sasan Sadat Presents The Economic Problems With Real Solutions [ TS0mdGPsns] cover

About this episode

The Republican Party faces scrutiny over its historical record from 2000 to 2006, specifically regarding the passage of the Patriot Act and the initiation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite modern libertarian rhetoric, the GOP remains committed to the War on Drugs and perpetual military engagement to maintain political power. These external threats serve as justification for federal power grabs that prioritize profitable warfare over fiscal reform.

Medicare spending has vastly exceeded the 1965 projection of $7 billion, while the George W. Bush administration prescription drug bill doubled in cost immediately following its passage. A Swiss bank audit now alleges the U.S. Treasury owes itself $4.4 trillion through deceptive bookkeeping, signaling a total collapse of fiscal responsibility. Meanwhile, the third-party payer system removes consumer price incentives, unlike the competitive free-market models seen in LASIK and cosmetic surgery. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains a primary example of socialized inefficiency, where veterans like those from the Vietnam era navigate systemic loopholes and travel pay schemes to secure basic income.

Sasan Sadat argues that a psychological shift has left Americans institutionalized and fearful of the chaos that personal liberty might bring. This cultural aversion to freedom mirrors the rigid structures of the VA and the unconstitutional mandates of the drug war. One veteran describes the necessity of playing the game within government bureaucracies just to survive the current economic climate.

CHAPTER 01 / 7 Discussion

Republican Party Political Strategy and Perpetual War

The Republican Party is criticized for its historical record from 2000 to 2006, including the passage of the Patriot Act and the initiation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite current libertarian posturing, the party's commitment to the war on drugs and perpetual military engagement suggests a focus on maintaining power rather than fiscal or civil liberty reforms. The government utilizes external threats to justify power grabs and maintain profitable, continuous warfare.

00:00 30 here we go welcome you're on worldwide I just have a suspicion that You know when the Republicans finally do get back in it They're not gonna do anything to overthrow this health care as much. All they really want is to be back in power Look the Republicans yeah, how anybody can like the Republicans after what after They controlled the House and Senate from 2000 to 2006. They got America into Iraq, Afghanistan... they passed civil liberty-busting legislation like the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act

00:41 Now they're pretending to be libertarians. That's what really pisses me off. They're war on drugs, they're big on the war on drugs War on process... may keep everything illegal Republicans are well they both suck And now there is suddenly anti-government because they aren't in power but you know just wait till their back it'll be the same I have a suspicion that the same way Obama has not stopped the war now that he is in there they railed against the war as Well you you follow me the Republicans get back in there. I don't think they're gonna do a darn thing day in this health care issue In fact every time there's a bombing now on Iraq

01:20 They're talking, oh they're going to have to stay longer. They are going to keep this war on terror bullshit indefinitely it looks like. It's designed to be perpetual war. I mean when you think about it could the government get away with half the crap they do if there wasn't this looming external threat out there that would keep us all scared? They couldn't do that. It's too profitable, it's too convenient for them as a means to grab power to have this constant war out there somewhere So, no Republicans for me folks. You can forget that! Welcome, you're on World Wide! Hey Jeff, hey Sasan! First of all I'd like to say Sasan you are doing an excellent job explaining the deal with health care what the root causes and problems are what the real solutions are Let me give a couple examples how already socialized medicine we have

CHAPTER 02 / 7 Discussion

Medicare Cost Projections and Bush Prescription Drug Bill

Medicare is cited as a primary example of failed socialized medicine, with its 1965 cost projections of $7 billion by 1990 being dwarfed by actual spending. Similarly, the George W. Bush administration's prescription drug bill is noted for doubling in cost almost immediately after its passage. These instances are used to illustrate a pattern of government underestimating the long-term financial impact of healthcare legislation.

02:16 has just turned into a disaster. When they first came out with Medicare in what, 1965 or 66? It was like a $3 billion-a-year program and they promised well by 1990 it's not going to cost more than 7 billion dollars but 1990 it was like billion dollar program they always come up with the lower numbers then there really are gold stupid george bush's prescription drug addiction drop bill was like was twice as expensive as they said it was going to be by the time the ink dried on the bill that's another disaster i mean although a lot of republicans supported that so therefore their socialized medicine but there against all bombers socialize medicine and uh... are just wondering if you ever seen the bob the art show john thought toppled it called dot second america with about health care i think one of the topples main points what even though

CHAPTER 03 / 7 Discussion

Third-Party Payer Inefficiency and Free Market Healthcare

The third-party payer system in healthcare is identified as a major source of economic inefficiency because consumers lack the incentive to monitor prices when they are not paying directly. In contrast, sectors like cosmetic surgery and LASIK are highlighted as successful free-market models where competition and technological improvements have led to lower prices. The lack of direct consumer spending in general healthcare is blamed for price inflation.

03:18 Insurance in and of itself is still part of the free market. It's the most inefficient way... A third party paying for something is the most inefficient way to pay for something, because I mean it's like if you go to a grocery store You buy a gallon of milk and you say it's like $3.00, that's what the regular price is no big deal but if somebody other than you pays for it are you going to care if its $3 or $15? That just goes to human nature there's a big difference between when your spending out your own money and if you're spending somebody else's money. You treat things completely differently, you buy in a completely different way. Exactly!

04:07 The best example of the way we need to go with healthcare are the ones that are going down in prices. They're the most competitive, that's the cosmetic surgery and the LASIK surgery. The technology improves and the prices go down." Thank you Mark! Alright see y'all later. He brought some good points. Okay, let's try welcome you're all worldwide Whenever people talk about Republican and Democrat they just kind of even if you give it lip service and talk about it Referentially they just perpetuate this nonsense about left right and we just keeps them keep said

CHAPTER 04 / 7 Discussion

Federal Government Debt and Swiss Bank Audit

A report from a Swiss bank suggests that the U.S. Treasury's finances are severely compromised, alleging that the federal government owes itself $4.4 trillion through complex bookkeeping. This internal debt indicates that traditional fiscal responsibility may no longer be possible as the budget reaches a breaking point. Both major political parties are criticized for ignoring these deficits while continuing to fund overseas conflicts.

04:48 fantasy politics football game going on. I agree, it's a con game So what I do whenever I talk to somebody like I tell them I'm not a Republican or Demoblican Yeah, they both want the same thing. Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, they both think that government's a solution to their problems and they both think that freedom, real freedom leads to chaos I like how they're pretending like there are these budget hawks now Oh we can't continue this deficit spending Hell, they got two trillion to spend in Iraq You know, so it's all just a big... Well I think that they know that its so screwed now budget wise there is really no point in being fiscally responsible anymore. It's all going to come tumbling down and as an example of that recently read this report this is how messed up the budget is and how politicians can't save you

05:41 Some bank in Switzerland recently decided to basically audit the US Treasury to see how screwed up our finances really are. And what they found out is that the federal government, through some bookkeeping accounting wizardry, owes itself $4.4 trillion! Trillion dollars. The federal government owes itself four trillion dollars if you were to actually balance the books and when you think about it that way, all this talk about is it going to affect the budget or we could be able to get out of this deficit at this point its so jacked that doesn't matter, it's gonna come crashing down Another point I want to make, these Republicans are saying this health care thing is unconstitutional

CHAPTER 05 / 7 Discussion

Constitutional Validity of the War on Drugs

The War on Drugs is challenged as an unconstitutional exercise of government power, as no specific authorization for such a program exists within the U.S. Constitution. Political parties are accused of using constitutional arguments only when convenient for their specific agendas. This inconsistency is framed as a "con game" played by both Democrats and Republicans to manipulate public perception.

06:25 Can take a guarantee you that the war on drugs is not constitute. There's nothing in the US Constitution authorizes a war on drugs So I'm so it so III dismiss these Democrats and Republicans there It's just like it's just a con game That's a matter of convenience whenever they talk about what's unconstitutional? Yeah, that's right Thanks to hear from you Mike Okay Welcome you're all worldwide. Hey Jeff, I was wondering when y'all coming back on the air we're back Okay, but I'm a long time Lester Jeff. I've got I've got some Awesome access stuff that I recorded about the JFK assassination good tonight my son was born and he's 22

CHAPTER 06 / 7 Discussion

Veterans Affairs Healthcare and Systemic Sustainability

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) serves as a real-world example of government-run healthcare, with mixed reports on its efficacy and sustainability. While some users find the care acceptable, others describe it as a money-losing organization that is difficult to navigate without "playing the game." One specific anecdote involves a Vietnam veteran utilizing VA travel pay for AA meetings as a primary source of income, highlighting potential systemic loopholes.

07:11 You know, and I've been watching you for as long as you've been on. And we talked at the VA before. Yes sir! Oh yeah! Actually, I gotta say right now...I've been using the VA for what? About 15 years and that's a government run health care program. That's right. And I think it works just fine. But they're not financially, you know, the finances don't add up there are money losing organization that's a real problem not necessarily that the carers bad but then its not sustainable Well, like I say it depends. You know as far as i'm concerned they killed my father and brother Really? Yes And every time i'm in there uh... have to remind them that they ain't gonna kill me if i have anything to do about it and the deal is If you don't make no waves It's like being in the army again to me! You know you kind of play their little game Otherwise a perfect example A friend of mine told him hey There's more stuff for you

08:09 if you're a homeless then they are benefits for me. Even though I'm a Vietnam vet, right? He went homeless and took advantage of it and he gets paid travel pay to go to AA meetings where it's his part-time job going to AA meetings because he gets travel pay from the VA. Thank You sir! Okay we'll go another quick one here welcome y'all worldwide Yeah, I was glad to hear you say that about... because there's something that i've really noticed in our culture. There is this attitude now and I've even heard it said verbatim the way you said it a while ago people fear freedom like its chaos. To a lot of people now..I don't know how this happened well I know how it happened

CHAPTER 07 / 7 Discussion

Cultural Fear of Freedom and Institutionalization

A shift in American culture is noted where individuals increasingly view personal freedom as a precursor to chaos. This psychological state is compared to being "institutionalized," where people become nervous at the prospect of others choosing their own life courses. This fear of liberty is presented as a fundamental hurdle to achieving a truly free society.

08:54 People just get really, really nervous at the thought of other people choosing their own course in their lives. I've never been that way and I've never gotten nervous but some people are institutionalized or something. Listen how was that?
