@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @realcaseyrollins @bot , I honestly have no idea. I susp[ect it is education, and the teaching of ethics and logic in schools that is the base knowledge needed to address the healthcare problem.

@the_etrain@masto.ai How about we accept Puerto Rico, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, and dump Texas and Florida?

@Dimestorehalo @freemo , to be very fair, I do not fully comprehend it myself, or why it is effective. I tend to view most systems as most efficient with a profit motive, IE a free market system. Libertarian, if you will. Healthcare and education are two counter examples. To me at least. But, the results seem to speak for themselves in the case of Singapore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Singapore

@TeaPain , as I white CIS male, I would really prefer it she never stand up for me again.

@Eidolon180 just today I went for the 1st time in a week to Twitter. Google no longer recommended Twitter after typing "t" into the search bar. Or "tw".

That felt really good. Just knowing the addiction was effectively over. And has been over long enough for Google to figure it out.

@freemo @Dimestorehalo I have roughly the same experience. And all that at 3 times the cost of a comparable system in any other 1st world nation.

Give me Iceland. Although that weird public/private system in Singapore seems to be generating a lot of fans.

@samlitzinger these guys are going to be pissed:

@Talia_christine , guilty. And not ashamed of my "Join the Thunder" dragon squad shirt, and shoes ony attire I had on most of the day.

@Free_Press I remember living in Dogtown, Venice Beach, in the 70s and the Venice Times newspaper had a picture of a snowman on the front page... it had snowed enough that someone had managed to scrape their yard clean and make one about a foot tall...

@UnFitz2 a family of trumps is a Dodging a Billing.

@UnFitz2 have you tried bourbon?

@w7voa , wow. What a way to destroy your life's work.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews only if he doesn't follow you.
