Not surprising. Judging by the diarrhea from the keyboard he’s suffering from, I think it’s obvious he’s going through some personal things. He probably lost his job, is going through a breakup, or is otherwise going through some trauma that is leaving him feeling angry, bored, and empty inside. He’s attempting to fill this emptiness with trolling vomit all over the place. It gives him a temporary buzz that wears off quickly.

I hope he at some point turns off the computer and gets the help he needs. It’s never a good thing to get into this online trap that he's found himself in. I’ve had to take steps back and take a break from online activity to remind myself that there’s a fun and beautiful world outside.

But going to a Medicare for all system is like totally socialism and bad or something.

Not denying issues with our healthcare, but at least we don't have the wait times for care that other countries do, including Australia and Canada, where the average wait time to see a specialist after a GP referral is 2 to 3 months, and many procedures take a year.

Our medical provider shortage is hedged from doctors all over the world coming here for better pay and work environments. Move to single payer and I'd expect our wait times to be even worse.


Good, fast and cheap, pick two seems to apply to medical care like anything else.

I'd much rather have our system where 1/3 of us have medicare or medicaid, another third can ger subsidized insurance through the exchange, our hospitals don't refuse care, and we can get care relatively quickly.

I have the ability to go to Canada for care as I qualify for dual citizenship and I am close to the border, but after reviewing their system, it isn't worth it to me. My cousin needed surgery on his knee (could barely walk) and would have waited nearly a year (due the pain they said they'd try to prioritize him so best case was six months) so he paid out of pocket to have surgery in the U.S.

I'm fine with tweaks, but I personally would take our system over many others.

The problem with our healthcare system has been government interfering with the normal economic forces that influence markets. These interventions are always sold to the American people as being for the American people, but they are almost universally to help industry continue to grow. As a side effect, the US is where the profit is and so nearly all medicines are created here, nearly all new medical devices and procedures make their first appearance in the US, and the best medical schools are American.

The rest of the world gets better medical care for less money because the American market covers the extremely expensive R&D costs while the rest of the world only has to cover the far cheaper manufacturing costs.
