32. Wait a second
You're claiming that if Medicad and Medicare were cut then demand for nursing would completely dissapear.

That makes no sense whatso ever.

And the laws of supply and demand to not affect my field as it does for movies etc. Healthcare is basic human need. Anyone that's taken a basic economics course understands that healthcare's demand is not effected by supply as the demand is always high. You virtually charge whatever it is that you want for it.

And in application, the effect of supply and demand are highly overstated and overrated universally. Much as is the idea of a Utopian society when it's applied to socialism and Communism (heck, at least those folks willingly admit that it's ridiculous).

Supply and demand are not the only thing that runs an economy. If that were the case cars, homes, land etc would be fucking dirt cheap.


So please spare me and stop throwing around these economic theories that you picked up in cliff's notes as if you understand how it works.
