Because single payer plans like the UK’s NHS and Canada’s national healthcare system are running into the same exploding financial problems that the United States is having due to the tremendous costs of new technologies and new expensive drugs. Those systems are not handling the growth in expenses well either.But they react differently. Instead of rapidly building new facilities and installing new high tech machines as occurs in every city in the United States, the UK and Canada slow things down with budget creep. They can’t commit political suicide with huge tax increases that would hurt their economies so they incrementally pass increases. That signNowly delays but doesn’t prevent new technologies coming into play (Most cities in the US have more MRI and PET scanners than entire Canadian provinces.It’s a form of government rationing because budget restrictions create a shortage for everyone in the system, resulting in waiting lists that some patients never get off. Their citizens mostly accept that for non-emergencies because fortunately, as in the US, most people don’t require sophisticated or advanced medical care. When they cannot accept it, they leave the system and fund their own private healthcare.Before Obamacare, more than 85% of Americans expressed approval of their healthcare. That number has fallen somewhat but still represents a sizable majority.Most Americans don’t want what a federally run program would entail. They don’t want their options reduced. They don’t want to be put on waiting lists. They don’t want to lose their choice of physicians and hospitals. They don’t want bureaucratic layer upon layer getting in the way of their healthcare. In short, they don’t want what Medicaid patients currently get. They also don’t want what we’ve been hearing that a signNow number of American’s veterans get.Many Democrats say they want Medicare for all. Medicare simply doesn’t pay the bills of hospitals and doctors. Medicare exists at it’s current high level of care because a signNow part of the care is cost shifted from the 170 million Americans who have employer based health insurance.I’ve used Nobel Prize winning liberal economist Paul Krugman’s response to Bernie Sanders’ Medicare-for-All plan time and time again. Krugman was a big supporter of Obamacare and also of Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. So here goes again:My column and Bernie Sanders’ plan crossed in the mail. But the Sanders plan in a way reinforces my point that calls for single-payer in America at this point are basically a distraction. Again, I say this as someone who favors single-payer — but it’s just not going to happen anytime soon.Put it this way: for all the talk about being honest and upfront, even Sanders ended up delivering mostly smoke and mirrors — or as Ezra Klein says, puppies and rainbows. Despite imposing large middle-class taxes, his “gesture toward a future plan”, as Ezra puts it, relies on the assumption of huge cost savings. If you like, it involves a huge magic asterisk.Now, it’s true that single-payer systems in other advanced countries are much cheaper than our health care system. And some of that could be replicated via lower administrative costs and the generally lower prices Medicare pays. But to get costs down to, say, Canadian levels, we’d need to do what they do: say no to patients, telling them that they can’t always have the treatment they want.Saying no has two cost-saving effects: it saves money directly, and it also greatly enhances the government’s bargaining power, because it can say, for example, to drug producers that if they charge too much they won’t be in the formulary.But it’s not something most Americans want to hear about; foreign single-payer systems are actually more like Medicaid than they are like Medicare.And Sanders isn’t coming clean on that — he’s promising Medicaid-like costs while also promising no rationing. The reason, of course, is that being realistic either about the costs or about what the system would really be like would make it a political loser. But that’s the point: single-payer just isn’t a political possibility starting from here. It’s just a distraction from the real issues.Health Reform Is HardHospital waiting lists at seven-year high as 3.4m need treatment193,000 NHS patients a month waiting beyond target time for surgeryhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/30/hip-knee-surgery-waiting-lists-lengthen-nhs-focus-ae-cancer/Hip and knee surgery waiting lists to lengthen as NHS focus on A&E and cancer careNHS Health Check: Hospital op 'long waiters' rise by 163% - BBC NewsCanada lags G7 in cost-saving IR proceduresHealthcare wait times hit 20 weeks in 2016: reportWaiting Your Turn: Wait Times for Health Care in Canada, 2015 ReportCanadians increasingly come to US for healthcare: https://www.usnews.com/news/best...

Jim Jones (pictured with one of his victims)There are simply no words to describe how evil this man was. Most, I trust, already know the tragic story. He was truly the personification of “evil genius”. I think that term needs to be unpacked a little in this case. It wasn’t just that Jones was a highly intelligent individual who happened to also be evil. It was more that he had a genius for evil—that’s exclusively where all of his formidable powers of intellect were directed.In my view, he was the most evil man who has ever lived, and I establish this claim by observing: It’s one thing to kill someone. Another, to get someone to kill someone else. But if you set a protracted program of psychological warfare lasting over a decade against thousands of people, and the end result is that mothers kill their own babies right before killing themselves—something unprecedented in human history that I know of—you deserve the title of most evil human who has ever lived.These people were not abstractions to Jones as Jews and Gypsies were to Hitler. He personally knew all of his victims, lived with them, ate with them regularly, etc. I would venture to say that he knew almost all of them by name. Those who died at Jonestown were not declared enemies of Jim Jones. They were the people he professed to love. Jones figured out a way to use love, not hate, to produce a body count in excess of 900 people. That takes a special talent. That takes a nonpareil evil genius.

It is not a secret if more than one person knows about it.I am a naturally private person, yet I worked in an office once where one supervisor befriended another just to get her betray confidences to the director, in hopes of being the one on top. It backfired, but it was humiliating for the other supervisor.Even though you may become very close friends with your co-workers, too much fraternizing and cozying-up can lead to upper management percieving a lack of professionalism at the very least. And, of course, the "friend" may stab you in the back when both of you are competing for a promotion.Topics which should be off limits:My crazy college days: Even if it was over 20 years ago, acts of drunken hedonism, vandalism or even worshiping the porcelain god call into question your judgment and work ethicCheating or stealing: A rags to riches story, even if you had to steal food or pawn a computer to survive, will call into question your integrity.Being on welfare: Kudos to anyone who made it through that hardship, got an education and now has a responsible position. Unfortunately, you may have a lot of co-workers who never had to struggle in life like you did. Some may judge you harshly from a narrow lens, especially a supervisor.Recovered alcoholic or drug addict: Again, some may judge you harshly from a narrow lens and feel you cannot be trusted.Marital/relationship problems: This will lead to another perception you cannot handle responsibility. Many years ago, I worked with several gals in a retail store. One would come in every day and complain about having to get high to sleep with her husband. She was in a miserable marriage and needed to vent, but it got her fired.Workman's compensation: Never brag about receiving benefits, calling OSHA on a previous employer, filing grievances, serving as an expert witness against a previous employer or talk about anyone else who has done those things. Do not even speak favorably about anyone who has been a whistleblower. I know someone who has been permanently blacklisted at a large state agency because he or she talked about being an expert witness against a large telecommunication corporation 15 years ago.HR is not your friend: HR exists to protect the best interests of the company. They might appear to be your friend because once they got rid of a bad supervisor. The truth is, if it was easier to scapegoat the victim, they will. It is all about what will cost the company the most dollars, never about justice.This may sound cynical, and there are exceptions to every rule, but in the working world, you are going to be up against the best and the worst of human nature. People need their paychecks to feed their families and maintain their lifestyle. The majority will not risk their jobs to take the higher ground in the support or defense of a co-worker.

There are many excellent answers and I'll answer one from personal experience.After 12 years of professional experience, technical school, and thousands of hours of manufacturer training, I was hardly unskilled, but very specialized as a master certified Mercedes-Benz technician.Unlike 99.9 percent of my peers, I understood at a very early point in my career that there is an expiration date on specialized skills and the human body, so I took courses at a junior college part time for many years. Without an end date set in stone it allowed for taking courses I enjoyed, switching between English lit and business.When an injury did take me out of my career, it was not an immediate realization. I spent 6 months progressing from barely being able to get out of bed to destroying my self in physical therapy. Then the doctor declared me stable but not fit for duty. This switched my status to state disability as I was no longer going to be a technician, so I dove headfirst into a bachelor's program. The issue is that at the end of 6 month of workers comp and the 1 year limit on disability, that puts someone out of work for 18 months and makes them ineligible for unemployment. Had I just sat on my ass after getting fired I would have had another year of support beyond that, But since I got injured while working and went to school to retrain, I was being cut off. Ironic isn't it, that safety net programs seem to be designed more for the lazy than the motivated.I worked hard and finished 2 years worth of courses in 1 years to earn a BS in business administration with a 3.9 gpa. Guess what? College grads with no work experience were more employable simple because nothing on their resume said that they worked with a wrench for 12 years.Here's the kicker, I had leadership experience building effective teams, marketing experience putting together service programs after analyzing customer trends, production experience from monitoring KPIs and enacting action plans to improve performance. All those thing employers ask for, but don't get without experience.After 6 more months of fighting through a part time sales job, I finally got a lucky break. I worked for a market research company for automotive. Later I became an instructor for an automotive program with a manufacturer.Even now I still have to fight for even an ounce of consideration as a professional, even though I deal with validation of diagnostic software, b2b programs, and customer service. I'm excluded from finance meetings even though I'm the only person in the room with any education on the subject, and blown off by engineers when I aproach them with hard data on failures and design issues, simply because I worked with a wrench.I've got an SaaS concept, business plan with sales strategy and contacts, and a signNow portion of the necessary research and ux mapping completed. Now all I need to do is find a developer who can bring an MVP to the plate and my days with a wrench will no longer matter... I hope...The point I'm trying to make is that retraining takes signNow endurance and tenacity to survive, not only the training, but the future in a new job market. Few people will push for it even if they have the foresight to know what lies ahead. Fewer people will take a major financial risk with an education if they think they can get by with what they already have. I've worked in places with unions, and all they do is push to protect the least qualified and least motivated through threats and financial intimidation, and don't ever push to make their constituents more qualified for the future. People search out the path of least resistance even if it leads to a dead end, the outliers challenge themselves to grow.Employers don't like outliers. I have met few people who actually want their employees to challenge them or bring them new, researched and supported, ideas. Managers control, and one of the ways is to put people in little labelled boxes to be moved around like faceless pieces on a board. Yes, there is a great deal that goes into planning to get all the work packages to flow though, but there is also a skill called leadership that encourages information to flow up chain.The lack of leadership, abundance of HR out of touch with the actual needs of a job position, and finally the failings human nature at the individual level all stand in the way of retraining the unskilled or the incorrectly skilled to promote a system to enable change. The failure is at both ends and the middle of the equation.Do you think Trump would hire me with my resume?LinkedIn

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.
