Maintenance/optimization test/issue?
What? You aren't being serious right?
Netflix launched a page that basically named and shamed internet providers for offering sub-par performance.

And then Netflix paid comcast extra cash.

And also said it will pay extra to providers:

Verizon continued to throttle traffic even after Netflix paid up:

I think that is enough evidence to reinforce my point at any rate.
| fatslob-:O said: Even after adjusting per capita, america STILL destroys every other nation. Not even all of Europe combined together can come close to matching US innovations in medical science ... (the US holds the most amount of clinical trials in the world for a reason) No other healthcare systems can work for americans since they also consume the the most amount of healthcare services too so americans pay more because they *WANT* the best available treatments possible ... (heck they don't even want treatments, they want a panacea for crying out loud) While the quality of care maybe lower the benefit is having leading edge options for a brighter future ... (no other nation has approved any CAR-T cell therapies while the US FDA has already approved two under trade names such as Kymriah and Yescarta) It's ironic how the rest of the world chides america for being so backwards yet it is america who is footing the bill for their future ... (the rest of the world wouldn't be so much of a burden if they spent as much effort as the US in medical research and we'd already have a cure for a good portion of chronic conditions) |
Except it doesn't.
Here the USA's expected life expectancy falls short.
Here is a chart of medical research nobel prizes per capita.
And here is your general rankings, they look extremely poor.
Child infant mortality rate is 5th highest in the developed world:

You are paying more and not getting results. And why is that? Mostly because of bureaucratic waste and red tape.

And I quote:
| I have practiced medicine for nearly 40 years, mostly in a large academic health center. The frictional administrative costs of multiple insurers, each with its own forms, rules, payment, denials and appeals apparatus, highly paid C-suites, shareholders, etc., and the counterpart to this required by all providers in order to get paid — billers, coders, compliance folks, etc. — is a colossal waste and does nothing to enhance access or quality of care. — Concerned MD, Pennsylvania |
Healthcare study ranks the USA last in the OECD world for healthcare:

Your system is simply ineffectual, you pay more and get less.
