Wow, you’re working quick to attack a strawman. I never said anything about free clinics.

I merely observed that obvious flaws of a system that is driven with a profit motive. With that impetus, the industry will move towards what is profitable. Actual care of the patient is not the priority, and as a result, unessential or ineffectual care is given, as long as it results in profit.

What’s your point?

Well first off I accepted that I misworded my previous statement so I didn’t feel like arguing over that, and now I wanted your clarity on how exactly is it profitable If you were a therapist working at a free clinic. Since most people volunteer their time there what exactly is the priority?

“Well first off I accepted that I misworded my previous statement so I didn’t feel like arguing over that,” Well, that shows you can see your own mistakes. That shows you’re capable of thought. “and now I wanted your clarity on how exactly is it profitable If you were a therapist working at a free clinic. ” It’s not. But this is just the opposite extreme of a for profit system. “Since most people volunteer their time there what exactly is the priority?” Well, I can’t speak for the volunteers since I’m not a mind reader. Hopefully the priority is… Read more »

So you’re saying that people who go to a free therapist are getting a better service than those who pay for it?

No, I never said that at all. You’re jumping the gun.

That’s just part of the strawman argument you’re constructing.

Try harder.

You said, that, “Actual care of the patient is not the priority,” in profit driven clinics,” and you also said that in nonprofit clinics, “the priority is to provide the care the patients need.” That leads me to assume that, Since, you want to get better, and since getting better is the priority in nonprofit clinics, then the nonprofit clinics are indeed better, Or so I understand from your shtick.

A reply button isn’t available on your post, so I’m replying to myself. “You said, that, “Actual care of the patient is not the priority,” in profit driven clinics,” and you also said that in nonprofit clinics, “the priority is to provide the care the patients need.” That leads me to assume that, Since, you want to get better, and since getting better is the priority in nonprofit clinics, then the nonprofit clinics are indeed better, Or so I understand from your shtick.” Just another straw man. You’re so desperate to prove me wrong that you’re arguing against what you… Read more »

It was never about proving a point, It was about the argument. I actually agree with you when you say its profit driven, hell thats why I’m going into psychology. I’m just pointing out that the entire industry isn’t profit driven, just as you pointed out Non profit organizations. And just because I make a post doesn’t necessarily mean that I believe it. But I knew you’d run to protest it and that those 2 would go to defend it. Like I said before, It’s all entertainment.

So lemme get this straight.

You claim everything is profit oriented.

I refute that easily.

Then you claim your point was that everything isn’t profit oriented.

So you lied just to start an argument for no reason. Then you shifted gears to give yourself some vain sense of superiority.

You have issues, dude.

I think I like you.
