lol - have fun waiting for the roast duck to fly into your mouth! BTW - this is why I hope to hell we never get the government involved in healthcare in this country (US). If you think screw ups around cable internet are fun, have fun trying to get decent health care in a timely manner. I have too many close friends who are vets and watching how the VA jerks them around is disheartening. If you think average citizens are going to rate any better - ha!

> lol - have fun waiting for the roast duck to fly into your mouth! At this point I don't really expect much from the government. Honestly I wish they'd stop trying so hard to do everything. When company services suck at least I'm not forced to pay them every year. > this is why I hope to hell we never get the government involved in healthcare in this country (US). I have government health care in my country. Forced town meetings and everything. It's a huge mess. Poorly managed and lacking in resources. In some places you can't even wash your hands because there's no water. Politicians are so corrupt they steal money meant for COVID-19 vaccines and masks. Health insurance is still necessary for high quality care.

When company services suck at least I'm not forced to pay them every year. Bingo - the crux of why government services often suck: because they can. Which is why if you don't want government to suck, you have to actively push on it from the outside. Most people can't be bothered to get involved so you get the freaks, charlatans and otherwise batshit crazy people driving the train - which further exacerbates the problem :p
