Folsomdsf t1_jamfy9b wrote

He drives too many cars most likely is the cause of this. He was pulling in forward into a spot pretty tight. He was unfortunately in a tesla which are generally poor in the maneuver compared to what he likely drives. REmember he drives from antique Model T's all the way up to a modern porsche. The tesla is likely still the worst at that maneuver from his normal drivers. Small mistake, barely a little paint scrape.

I don't think the most advanced plastic surgery needs to be available to all people.

Jay Leno is a talk show host and his appearance is important for his career and for everyone that works for him. I'm a programmer. If I get 3rd degree burns, I don't need the $1m latest cutting edge, option. Take care of the burns, minimize the scars as best you reasonably can, and that's ok.

And realize that by paying for the very advanced, $1m option, Jay is helping to advance that technology and it will become cheaper over time.

And, let’s keep going here, do you think those are the only costs involved in entirely replacing a human’s face? Equipment. Supplies. Finite materials. A place to do it that someone had to spend several hundred million dollars to build. The diagnostic work and preparation beforehand, as the surgeons planned what to do and the teams got things ready. His recovery.

Until we get matter replicators, I’m sorry, but some things are going to be inherently resource heavy to do regardless of whether we choose to assign a currency value to it or not.

SkyNightZ t1_jamgxul wrote

Not all treatments are affordable though.

It's a pipe dream.

A benefit of a private public split is it allows private clinics to spend loads of money on relatively new technology and overtime demonstrate and prove efficacy as well as allow the initial R&D costs to be absorbed by them.

Then once the treatments are affordable they can drop down into the public system.

To say everything must be public immediately ignores the obvious reality that the governments pockets are not infinitely deep and when there is no profit incentive some things just won't get researched.

Take skin grafting as an example. It's cosmetic surgery at the end of the day. A government isn't going to invest in getting people trained for such a procedure.

But private will because people would pay to look 'normal'.

Now that the people are trained on skin grafting and the technology is common, public healthcare gets to take advantage.

You would hurt the overall level of care by being driven by an end goal of wanting everything to be available to everyone.

Sure, can be done but compared to before there would be less procedures possible.

SkyNightZ t1_janculh wrote

It literally does. Like your pulling this out of thin air.

Guess which one of us works in the pharmaceutical research business and who doesn't.

The government can afford some research, but it wants to see maximum patient impact.

That means diseases that effect a small percentage of the population get less funding.

However to private investors those diseases can be incredibly lucrative.

So private funds research in those areas more than public. Then overtime (because most of these ventures go nowhere) the successful treatments make their way to the top and get more development.

This is early stage vs late stage research.

The government is more willing to help fund late stage research because its more viable. But without the early stage research there is no late stage.

I've simplified the process but if you did the most basic level of research you would see what I'm saying is true.

What you have is an IDEA, and you are hoping against reality that your idea is true. It simply isn't.

You jump from country to country like a travel show on Netflix. Calm down jetsetter.

how about we forget about specific systems from countries for a sec. There are a million different systems. In germany it's all private insurance companies, but heavily restricted by the gov, so actually not private at all. I am sure Finnland has thousands of weird quirks aswell as America. The point is this, if you have insurance and pay for it your whole life, then the cost of treatment should not matter. You have already paid for it every month you were alive.

if i get sick and there is a way to treat my sickness, i would like them to do that. My health insurance should pay for the treatment.

Same with physical injuries. If i burn my face off and there is a way to restore it, then i would very much like that. There is absolutely no reason to make this an income issue. Everyone pays health insurance for this exact case. In case of a health problem, i have the insurance that i will get adequate help.

f_d t1_jalaje2 wrote

He needed two separate surgeries and could have had his pick of reconstructive surgeons. The important functional parts of his face were spared, but he needed some skin grafts and reconstruction. So he looks considerably better than the scarring he would have if he had received more basic treatment just to prevent infection. Whatever the level of burn, it was a serious injury that he was lucky wasn't much worse.

I also got into multiple detoxes and two rehabs the next day after calling, covered by insurance. Try getting that QOS in a socialist system.

I mainly mean this line. You got your good(?) insurance, forget the social safety net!

I just did a quick check "Roughly 30 million Americans of all ages had no health insurance in 2021"... that's a lot. Not to mention the people who have crappy insurance that isn't nearly as good as the free options in other countries.

The US healthcare system suck for everyone except the well-off, which is a seemingly ever-shrinking amount of people.

william-t-power t1_jamyx82 wrote

Criticizing the socialist alternatives is fair game IMO, and I was thinking moreso of Canada and England's systems. The detoxes and rehabs I brought up because those can literally be life changing and the lack of quick access to them can be a life or death thing. It's an area where I have a lot of personal experience. I once talked to someone in England who was an alcoholic who decided they needed help. They said they were approved for rehab but they'd have a bed in 8 months. Compared to next day or next week for private insurance, I think it's fair to call out the differences. There's obviously a lot of other differences too. Criticizing a system isn't a black or white thing, where doing so means you want it entirely annihilated and disavowed.

30 million is a lot. In a country of roughly 330m people that accounts for about 9%. That's pretty good in that it indicates that 91% do have insurance. The remaining 9% need options too, but ripping out something that works pretty well for 91% to accommodate the 9% is not a good strategy. Better to consider how to approach that small percentage instead while working in the existing structure, which is certainly doable. The problem is, people don't get elected for good, simple, boring solutions, they get elected for declaring they're going to rip everything out and bring utopia for us all.

For one thing, when I was in rehabs there were some people there who were under "scholarships" as the administration put it. They had no insurance and were there for free. It was because someone who cared for them reached out and described the situation to the facility, kindly asked if there was anything they could do, and they opted to take them in at no cost out of compassion. That only works though when it's a small percentage, they need to sustain the system with the majority of people who have insurance paying their way.

> The remaining 9% need options too, but ripping out something that works pretty well for 91% to accommodate the 9% is not a good strategy.

My point is it's not working for MANY of the 91% and 9% uninsured is a failure anyway... That's 30 million people. I think it's better to put it that way because it doesn't dehumanize them behind a small percent number.

Judging an entire healthcare system is not a trivial thing and what constitutes "great" is not straightforward. This is why I brought up our cancer survival rates. Cancer is a notoriously hard thing to treat and is a very complex thing. Doing well in that is a very good sign. Additionally, we have world class medical institutions like the Mayo clinic and John's Hopkins, which drive a lot of excellence and innovation in the US health care system. There's quite a lot of travel to the US for medical procedures, which certainly suggests quality in comparison to others.

It doesn't appear that you're open to any challenging evidence given how you flippantlty dismissed the example I gave with no analysis.

My brother’s Bio-dad was at a natural gas plant when it exploded. Threw him like 50 feet, and he had 3rd degree burns on his arms where his sleeves (rolled up at the time) wedding ring, and watch…and in his face where is eyeglasses weren’t covered. He’s has numerous surgeries to remove scar tissues from his hands, and can’t really go out in the sun uncovered. This was 10 years ago…and he still look 15-20 years younger than his actual age because, as we joke now, he got a “very aggressive chemical peel”. You’d be surprised what you can live through…and modern medicine can do quite a bit to help you recover if you are in the right area of the world.

I'm glad he's not hurt from the accident, but I still don't like him at all as a person for what he did to Conan. He's never apologized for that, but instead has just doubled down and said he didn't try to do anything wrong.

Pretty solid bits about his own face being burned off. Say what you like, but Leno is the real deal.

This guy's been around since I was a kid. In 1992 he took over Carson's show. I've given him countless opportunities. Watched so many monologues. Waiting. I mean, they gave him the fucking tonight show. I'd seen interviews with other comedians, referring to how funny he was. Jay fucking Leno.

3 decades later. He's never once made me laugh. I don't get it. I feel like I've lived my life in a twilight zone episode or something. They used to say, 'he appeals more to Johnny's older demographic', and that made sense for a while. And while he's doing setups and punchlines, and I recognize that the formula is there for 'joke', I've just never once laughed at a single quip or anything he's ever said. I mean 'flaming hot dorito'? WTF?

I used to think, 'here's a guy who's just been watered down to appeal to major audiences'. But he's rich as fuck by now. Does his little car show for fun probably. He doesn't need to be Pepsi. But he still isn't funny. He never takes a chance. Never goes for it. 3 fucking decades of Jay Leno. How has he stayed on top? It doesn't make sense. WTF does he or has he ever contributed to entertainment? Why is this the guy? Did the station sign him to the tonight show deal for a 20 year contract that was unbreakable? How can mediocrity be rewarded so fervently and for so long? It just doesn't make sense. I've seen old clips of his old standup too. He wasn't funny before his big break either.

It's like his giant, Rocky Dennis fucking face is some kind of good luck charm.

Nice clone bro, doesn't look a day over 60 too.

This technology is not available for the plebs like you or I and is beyond blatant.

Rich people don't have such concerns. They probably put him in a hyperbaric chamber for a week or some crazy oxygen treatment shit.

He probably had to sell one of his thousand cars to pay for that. So tragic.
