The sad thing is that I liked this article. I just don't want to get pulled into another political discussion on HN about it. The thing about these things is that they're like car wrecks. You know you should just keep going about your business when you see one, but for some reason, you feel compelled to stop and stare.
- jobu 16y agoThis is one of the few blatantly political articles I've upvoted here. Healthcare in the US is broken, and this article points out one of the big reasons why.
- DanielBMarkham 16y agoI agree that it points out why. Like I said, I was ready to share very similar experiences. But once it took sides on the current issue of what to do with the national healthcare system, suddenly we're in a polarizing debate and not a discussion of startup problems and ways around them. That startup discussion would have been awesome. Posters talking about how bad the country sucks, how terrible X is, or how to create a movement for change has nothing to do with any of that.
