It is possible for researchers to have limited institutional budgets and relatively low wages. Of course, final versions should be properly corrected. But please keep in mind that some might not have the best means / fortunes. Science

Itsme, I believe the disagreement is not with your statement about biology, but with its comparison with software systems.

Future behavior isn’t entirely predictable by past behavior. Sure. External events might put a particular individual in arrears, even though she/he has never defaulted in her/his life. Machine learning however, can use past behavi

Like I said, that's a matter of policy. I.e. should rich people pay more tax? But I'm not here to answer that question.

0xffff2 - that's correct. Personally I am more lenient, given that my country of birth struggles. But in the context of the conversation, I think #18 is good enough to make the cutoff for single payer. After all, other countries with l

That's a matter of policy. You can set a cap of how much tax someone pays for healthcare, such that rich people don't get screwed. The question here is what's more efficient... And the numbers are there. Single payer + Health

I want proof. I only see numbers. Everything else is conjecture. Transparency in healthcare + Single payer (by the government) = Efficiency (see sources and explanation in my original comment) So yes, putting the US government in the middle

That is conjecture. I could similarly hypothesize that things would improve under a single payer system, even for the rich... because of the compounding scientific advances of government backed healthcare. BUT we could go back and forth all
