That's what I mean tho....I hope we can come together just long enough to get some national health care in like Congress has.

But if the situation in East Plaestine is any indication, that won't happen for a long time yet. 🤦

We would be the first country in the world to achieve that. It would be amazing.

Literally every major first-world country has some form of universal/national health care.

They do, but it's still tiered. The rich/famous and politically connected receive better care in better facilities than the common masses get in the public facilities.

There is no country to my knowledge where you or I would receive the same level or quality of care as a celebrity, a rich business magnate or a politician.

It's not tiered in many countries. Especially in places like Japan.

Of course having lots of money will get you better health care wherever you are but let's not pretend that we're not like 100 years behind the rest of the world.

We're ahead of much of the world - the US leads the world in medical discoveries involving new test procedures, medications and test equipment.

Now our delivery of that healthcare to the people of the US needs a lot of work, true. We lag behind the rest of the world in that aspect.

In that aspect, we need to do better. A lot better.

This I'm obviously completely not interested in, in this context.

Right.
