The following continuation of my discussion with Ricardo is becoming
extremely boring and repetitive -- not to mention long. Feel free to hit
"delete" at this point. It is my last contribution on pen-l -- unless people
really want it. If Ricardo wants to continue off-list, that's fine with me.

Official political economy has great difficulty dealing with
any of the problems of the capitalist economy. It has become the
most obscurantist and mystified science, the most detached from
the reality it is supposed to explain. The social means of
production and production itself are held i

Jim:
It is my experience that HMOs use a rather long list of intermediate
outcomes to measure output. Health and illness are social constructs,
and their quantification and measurement at the individual level is very
difficult. So HMOs typically count services, such as the number of
mammograms or
