We already have socialism in the way that healthcare is paid for, but it is the most ridiculous and least effective way of delivering healthcare. If politicians and everyone else would just get over petty political labels, the least expensive insurance option is the biggest pool of people.

Bird got swept in with the rest of the MAGA cult, but I wonder what her real name recognition is among the vast majority of people who pay zero attention to news or government. Any idea, @laurarbelin.bsky.social? Who wins if both are basically unknown? Does incumbency and the cult push her over?

the healthcare that you may need. Americans should take the scales off their eyes and stop trying to find reasons for not moving to a Medicare-for-all model, but alas, the entrenched monied interests will never allow the simplest solutions to prevail.

in the event some peril occurs. The true craziness is that anyone thinks they need to preserve the current system where your economic caste determines whether you are able to pool with enough people to get sufficient coverage to not have to go into your own reserves (or just go bankrupt) to obtain

without the additional cost of dividends to shareholders. Lastly, as far as the whole capitalism-socialism debate goes, could we just please admit that insurance is a form of socializing the overall cost of ANY hazard. We are literally all contributing to the pot of money from which we hope to draw

is that American sacred cow: capitalism. While I believe in capitalism, IMHO the profit motive in healthcare is a huge factor killing Americans’ ability to get cost effective healthcare services and pharmaceuticals. At least, I wonder what would happen if there were fair and reasonable compensation

policies, rules, regulators, and profit motives. People always have complained and always will complain about how expensive things are, and medicine is no different. IMHO, the cost of healthcare is driven by too many factors to be overly sure about blaming any particular one, but the biggest one

Hands down, it has been the best treatment one could hope for. The cost paid by insurance has been kind of crazy. Everyone send to agree that everything is too expensive and complicated. The complicated criticism it seems to me is driven entirely by prolix insurance companies and their Byzantine

BTW, everyone says “healthcare is broken,“ but rarely does anyone say how or why. I have interacted with the healthcare system A LOT this past year with great insurance coverage and the BEST treatment. I count myself fortunate. The healthcare professionals and pharmaceuticals have been world class.

My new (ok, maybe only 🫣) favorite part of the Bible.

Are we great yet?

Or look to the Mango 🥭 Mussolini you helped put in office… perhaps the least Christian, most self-serving person ever to hold the office of President. Jackass.

Three reasons: most buy their seed in December, crop rotation, the cult.
