According to a new analysis by the urban institute.
Government run health programs like Medicare and Medicaid are better at controlling costs
than private health insurance companies.
Here's what they found between 12 uh, 2006 and 2017 so over an 11 year span.
Medicare spending per enrollee increased by 2.4% per year.
During that time, Medicaid spending grew by 1.6% per year.
Meanwhile, private insurance spending grew by 4.4% annually.
So we have two government run healthcare programs, one for the poor, one for the elderly, and
both of those were somehow able to control costs better then what those of us with private
insurance had.
I mean almost double the amount of spending per person growth among private health insurance
compared to the government programs.
We have seen studies like this come out in the past too, except they weren't necessarily
focusing on here in the United States.
They were focusing on other countries and countries with government run.
Healthcare programs tend to spend less and see far slower growth in spending per person
for healthcare services than those countries like us that have to rely on private health
insurance.
The point I'm trying to get at here is that not just all over the world in these countries
with socialized medicine, but even here in the United States, for the few people that
are on our socialized medicine programs, they're getting better coverage, they're getting better
prices, they're getting better deals than the rest of us who have to go through private
insurance.
It is nearly impossible to look at these numbers and you actually, when you look at the numbers,
you see that more and more people had enrolled in these programs and yet they still manage
to keep the costs lower.
I mean logically you would think that more people go on it, you're going to spend more
money, but these programs are actually so efficient that they didn't have to increase
their spending.
I mean obviously they did increase the spending overall because there were more people, but
their costs, I should say the costs did not increase.
Meanwhile, for those of us from private health insurance, we're averaging 4.4% increase in
cost per year.
That's inefficient.
You can't look at these numbers and tell me that a medicare for all program here in the
United States would not be a better system and I know there's always those big conversations
of how are we going to pay for it?
How are we going to pay for it?
Well, maybe we don't need to spend close to $800 billion a year on our military.
I mean the next seven or eight countries who spend as much on their military combined,
we still spend more than double what all of those countries spend.
Again combined, we could cut that in half.
We could cut it into a quarter of what it is still be spending more than everybody else
and provide better quality health care coverage for people here in the United States, run
by a government program that knows damn well had to get things done.
The private market, the private industry, the private sector has failed us and that's
why we're in this position.
That's why we do have to move to a drastic new system like a medicare for all had the
private sector corrected itself decades ago.
Nobody today would be calling from Medicare for all, but they let their greed get in the
way, and because of that, they're going to have to be the ones to pay the price.
Now, medicare for all is the only solution to these problems because the private sector
has proven time and time again that as long as they can gouge us and make us pay as much
as possible, they're damn sure gonna make us do it.

Photoshop QUICK Tip: Selective Focus for Photos - Duration: 3:08.
Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
This is a Photoshop quick tip for versions CS6 and later that shows you how to use selective
focus using the Iris Blur filter to give your photos the effect of a shallow depth of field,
which draws attention to your subject.
Camera phones and point-and-shoot cameras don't have the ability to selectively focus
on subjects, nor can they create customizable, shallow depth of fields.
Fortunately, Photoshop's Iris Blur filter allows us the ability to do this without creating
selections and masks.
Open a photo that you'd like to use for this project.
If you'd like to use this one, I provided its link in my video's description or project files.
Make a copy of it by pressing Ctrl or Cmd +J.
If you're using version CS6 or CC, go to Filter, Blur and Iris Blur.
If you're using CC 2014 or later, go to Filter, Blur Gallery and Iris Blur.
Drag the center pin over the area we want to remain in focus.
Rotate the Blur Ring clockwise until we can easily see where the blur begins and ends.
There are four "Feather Handles" that indicate where the blur starts and four "Ellipse Handles"
that indicate where the blur is at full strength.
Basically, the blur is feathered between the feather handles and the Ellipse handles.
You can adjust the shape and angle of the blur by dragging any of the Ellipse handles.
Notice that when you drag one of the Feather handles, all of them move at the same time,
however, we can also drag them independently by pressing and holding Alt or Option as you drag a handle.
Rotate the Blur Ring counter-clockwise to dial it back to an amount you like.
You can see the blur as a mask by pressing the "m" key on your keyboard.
You can save the mask to use later if you like by checking, "Save Mask to Channels".
You have the ability to create multiple focal points on your image by simply clicking on
another area and bringing those areas into focus, as well.
When you're happy with your image, click OK at the top.
To compare the before and after, toggle between your two layers.
This was a quick Photography tip from Marty at Blue Lightning TV.
Thanks for watching!

Taawi: Adorable Bunny Sets Trick Record - Meet The Record Breakers - Duration: 4:18.
Hi, my name's Aino
and this is my rabbit Taawi
Taawi is a four-year-old rabbit of mixed breed
Well as soon as I adopted Taawi about two years ago
I realised that he was a very special personality
He is the most active and energetic rabbit I have ever seen
I started to train him tricks soon after I got him
At first it was hard for him to concentrate because he was so very excited
But I trained him patiently
And soon he began to love doing tricks
He also turned out to be a very clever rabbit
Because it doesn't take much time for him to understand what I want from him
and he also has an unbelievable memory, since he knows about 30 tricks
I train Taawi with a method called positive reinforcement
What it means is that I reward him for the behaviour I want from him
I use also a clicker to tell him what exactly he does right
At first I reward him when he does at least something right
And then I slowly raise the bar until he knows the entire trick
I usually use part of Taawi's daily meal as a reward
But sometimes he also gets for example, fresh carrot and dried banana
Which are his very favourites
Taawi and I are really good friends
I think he trusts me 100%
and urm, we have developed our own ways to communicate
and have fun together
He really enjoys me petting him
Trick training is some real quality time we share
Taawi lives in a two-story hutch with his girlfriend Fuga
Whenever I'm home they also get to use my whole apartment
to run around and have fun
and I also have a harness for Taawi
and he really enjoys going out
and we often take a walk in the forest nearby
Achieving a Guinness World Records title is actually something I never thought I'd do
until I discovered Taawi's talent
I think it's awesome to see Taawi go down in history
Well my advice for all pet owners is to never underestimate their pets
I think every animal has talent of some sort
and it's up to the owner to find out what their pet is good at
and then give them opportunities to have fun and develop their skills

Season 9 Confirmed TO BE THE LAST SEASON!! - Duration: 2:44.
Hello everyone, hope you are all enjoying your day, for those who don't know,
my name is Ruchiyoto or some of you who know me would call me Raichu or Ruchi for short.
It has been a long run and I hate to break it to you, on February 16, 2019 Hasbro announced
that Season 9 officially and will be the last Season for My Little Pony.
There will be a link in the description so you could read the article yourself.
I later found out about this about an hour ago when this was announced that day.
Everybody was talking about it all over Discord, and people were already making videos about it.
Well it really doesn't bother me.
I've explained this multiple times on my Channel before, I've talked about the outcomes and
what could effect this to our community.
This doesn't mean the fandom is dying in any way.
So just be glad that My Little Pony was successful through it's 9 long years it's been around.
Personally take it from me.
When I first joined this fandom, I've met a lot of great people, not just for the same
interest but it also taught a lot of things.
Some which were meaningful and some of them taught me several lessons about being responsible
and honest.
I didn't care what other people think that I watch a little girls show, so what.
It's like you're saying a grown man shouldn't paint their nails but you don't want to go
out your way thinking you'll get away with everything, you can only do at least one of
everything at a time.
So if you're watching this now or after seeing the final season of My Little Pony, all I
have to tell you is this: please move on.
Don't make such a big deal out of it.
Don't make a fool out of yourself in the comment section over an animated fictional TV show.
I've heard people over Discord talking about how they're moving onto a new generation and
a prequel or a New movie for this new generation.
However that may be, I think this is due to the fact that since Hasbro is making a lot
of money they could afford new and improved ways to animate.
That's just the future, and technology is taking all of it away.
On top of that, some fans suggest that Tara Strong needs a break from this, I can definitely
understand that because she does take major roles in other TV shows such as Unikitty and
Teen Titans Go.
I think it's also fair, because she's being used too much and that sort of stuff costs
money here in America.
Now that My Little Pony is ending, this is probably a good thing for most people I guess
just for the art and commissions.
However that may be, we might get a new movie and a new show.
But hey, a story has an end to it, and a brand new one is born.
Thanks for watching and this is Ruchiyoto signing off.

Steins;Gate Elite - Make The Game Feel Closer To The Anime | Guides | Backlog Battle - Duration: 3:46.
What's up everyone? Alex here! Steins;Gate Elite is finally here, and now that both newcomers
and long time anime fans have their hands on the game, I wanted to make this quick video
talking about how players can adjust Steins;Gate Elite in such a way that it feels closer to
the anime. The game's Auto Mode will automatically advance the lines of text onscreen, but that
alone won't be enough and we'll have to modify some settings in the Config menu. I've
mentioned in my review that trying to understand what each toggle does in Config can be frustrating,
given the lack of help text and obvious effect on the presentation. These settings can also
be useful if you're playing the game with a group of people, with everyone reading at
different speeds, avoiding having to ask everyone in the room whether they're done reading
or not for every line of text. With these settings, you'll be able to watch and read
the game at the pace shown in this short clip:
We'll be altering the Config starting from a Default configuration. In order to make all of the
spoken text display all at once, go to Sound Setting in Config and toggle the Sync Voice
option to Off. To make the narration display all at once, go to Text Setting in Config
and set the Message Speed all the way to Fast. To my knowledge, there isn't an option that
allows us to skip Okabe's internal monologue and frankly, you wouldn't want to skip those
anyway, as it contains vital information about the story. The delay between lines of text
is controlled by the Auto Mode Delay, and in the clip I showed, it's set at ¾ speed.
Use this to adjust how much delay you (or your group) needs in order to read the text
onscreen. Now, when you press the Auto button, you'll be getting a presentation that's
closer to the anime and - perhaps, more importantly - a way to get some of your friends or loved
ones involved in the story!
Finally, for people who are new to the genre, the Skip Mode function found in Text Setting
allows you to skip through already read (or seen) sections in lieu of only displaying
new scenes, which are useful for players who are going through the game in a subsequent
playthrough and don't need to rewatch old scenes. This will only be active upon pressing
the designated Skip button.
If you use these settings, please let me know how it's going for you in the comments below
or if you have specific settings you use that you'd like to share with others!

WPW10274922 - Replacing Your Whirlpool Dishwasher's Left Hinge Arm - AP6018354, PS11751656 - Duration: 8:12.
Hi my name is Bill and today I'm going to be showing you how to replace the
left hinge arm on your dishwasher. The reason why you might have to do this is
because your dishwasher door isn't closing properly.
For this repair, we'll be using a quarter-inch nut driver,
a screwdriver with a VT 15 star bit, a flat head screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.
Warning: before doing any repairs, please disconnect your power source.
So this is the dishwasher we're going to be using
for this demonstration, it's a whirlpool. Now keep in mind yours at home might be
a little bit different than what we have here, but the same technique should still
apply. Also keep in mind we don't have a counter top for this, so we're actually
using some weights to keep it weighted down so it doesn't tip over on us. So you
might want to consider that when you're at home, and if you have to take out your
dishwasher, make sure that you're not doing anything to tip it over and make
it fall on you while you're doing your repair as well. So the first thing we're
going to do is open up our dishwasher here. So the next thing we're going to do
is we're going to take all the screws out of the door here.
So now that we have all the screws out, what I'm going to do is I'm going to
lift up the door a little bit. I kind of get it back into place, however once I
get about here, we can take this door off and separate the two halves. Do that nice and
carefully. There are still a couple of wires on the inside that connect them but
there's this wire right here and we're going to unplug that from our control board
here, and all we really need to do is just pinch two sides here and then pull it out.
So this part right here is our left hinge arm. In order to get it off,
we're going to take a spring off here first, and that's just pulling it and
releasing it. Now we're going to take a quarter inch nut driver, and we've got a
few screws to take off. This first one here is going to release our support bar.
And we're going to move that down and out of the way here. And now we've got three
other screws.
And now we need to come down here, and there's this little tab that's locking
our hinge into place on this hinge pin. So we're going to need a pair of pliers and
grab into the hinge here and squeeze that, so we can get the hinge off.
There we go, and once we've
got the pin straight, you should be able to get to hinge off. Pull it out from that
sleeve there, and it should come right off. And now we have to remove this friction sleeve here.
Now you can grab your new OEM replacement left arm hinge. If you don't have one
already, you can find it on our online store. So now we're going to put our
friction sleeve on first, and that's just going to slide all the way over into
this groove here. And now we'll line up our hinge with the hinge pin, and once
we've done that, slide it up and we just have to pull this sleeve back a little
bit and slide the hinge back behind it, just like so. And line up all of our
screw holes here. And there's also a pin, that goes over that hole, and now we can
screw it back in.
And now we'll line up the support bracket, and once that's lined up, let's
screw that back in as well.
And now we're going to go back down to our hinge pin here, and we're going to use
a flat head screwdriver and twist that so that locks our hinge pin back into
place, just like that. And now I'll reattach the spring to the hinge, so all we
have to do is just pull up on it and it sits right there. And now we'll plug in
our front console assembly to the control board.
Then we'll lift up on our
front panel and slide it into place on the front of the door here.
And now I'm going
to open up the door and I want to put the screws in the front two corners
first, and that will help hold the whole door together. And then I can get the
rest in.
Close up your door and your repair is complete.
Finally, don't forget to plug in your appliance.
If you need to replace any parts for your appliances,
you can find an OEM replacement part on our website pcappliancerepair.com
