So your solution to healthcare in this country is to light rural America on fire so that you, personally, can have cheaper care? That sounds workable.

I didn’t realize you were looking for a sourced essay. Medicare-for-all extends a fee for service model that results in poor care, poorer outcomes, massively increases expense, and simultaneously lowers physician reimbursements. Given the i

I’m not saying we shouldn’t reform - I’m saying we should be careful about what that reform is, and what its goals are. I would generally suggest that CMMI and provider groups is/are more heavily involved than big city voters who know

Medicare for all is not a panacea and would cause dramatic breaks in care in other places. The fragmented private model sucks, but the belief that single-payer would fix much of anything is faulty. Reform should happen, but it shouldn’t be

I’m grateful to be employed again. Was laid off in August, and without work for the first time in over twenty years. I’ve learned that I do not do well without work, especially given that my career field is more mission-driven than money-dr

I think 90% of everyone’s needs are handled by primary care (family med, IM, peds) - most people aren’t going for anything really complicated, and basic preventive care like a yearly physical can be really, really powerful. I think there’s

I mean, your body is slightly more complicated than your car. If your issue is highly specialized, assuming your PCP or family med doctor will be able to figure it out is like thinking your car mechanic can fix your airplane, just because a

Suggesting that iMessage, and not SMS/data connectivity, is “core infrastructure” is bizarre, especially given that no one else in the world uses it or cares about it - essentially proving that it’s not.

Did you ask the question just so you could interpret any given answer as uncharitably as possible and pretend that the people answering are actually Bad People? You’re making a lot of really bad faith replies.

People are supposed to. But just like it’s easier (and more lucrative) to post mistruths for clicks, it’s easier (and more rewarding in terms of interaction and positive reinforcement) to play outrage in your social media reactions. “That w

This is absolutely, unconditonally untrue. I can send a message to an Android user just fine. SMS is delivered as it is anywhere else. Pictures go through fine - my partner and I can, and do, regularly share pictures without any issue at al

I don’t know that “care more about the homeless” is accurate, but I think “care more about human beings than scooters” probably is. In either case, solving homelessness is probably more complicated than scooter litter.

Does ATC know your flight plan? My recollection from the Channel 9 days was that pilots requested whatever landing clearance they wanted when they pinged the appropriate ATC, but I’m neither a pilot nor ATC, so don’t know if there were proc

My issue is that we’ve been trained to see things on a broken scale - 10 is good, 9 is good, 8 is probably ok, 7 is questionable and everything else is really bad. I get it’s chicken/egg, but I feel like you can’t adjust ratings withou

Oh come on. Android users can “communicate” just fine over MMS/SMS with iPhone users. Images work. Text works. Beeper exists solely to make Android users feel better about the color of their bubble and their social standing thereof.

Hard disagree. The infrastructure act is a clear example of solving big problems. It’s also neither here nor there - an implication that not solving a really, really small problem says anything about an ability or desire to solve bigger pro

Sorry, did you misread my comment? I think they absolutely should be able to put restrictions on their customers, provided they’re not the “only game in town”.

If they did it independently, no. I don’t think it’s a travesty if someone pushes everyone to refuse to do business with him. If the airlines passed names around, it’s effectively a worse NFL and, I think, should either be prohibited or run
