I wonder why OP thinks doctors would have any incentive to do this. It doesn’t benefit them personally and there is just a vague benefit of lower medical care costs provincially.

I think we are speaking past each other due to definitions. I wouldn’t think “lean” is the same as “super low body fat”. I assumed the lean we were talking about was maybe 10-13%. Whereas super low would likely be in the sub-8%.

Is there evidence he is an anti-capitalist? The conjecture right now is that he has some personal vendetta against a specific company.

I recall reading that the majority of their patents were expiring in the next few years and the one that they’ve offered to not enforce (rather than release) is the important one that doesn’t expire until the 2030s.

Sure, and that’s possible (at significant added cost) in a portion of cases. But not all - you might be on an operating table or in the middle of a psychiatric event, etc etc, where time does not permit second opinions, and if the system is

Capitalist structures have a long history of pushing ownership of problems to the powerless individual, then exploiting information asymmetries (and actively obfuscating the truth that would allow for better informed decisions) for profit.

I got an oil change a few months ago and the system prompted me to tip. Needless to say I won’t go there again. And to name and shame them for my Canadian compatriots, it was the Great Canadian Oil Change chain.

It might just be my take, but by saying “the government” it sounds to me like you are implying it is the current government, which isn’t wholly correct. To be clear, this corruption includes the current government and essentially every gove
