Especially when you get into formatting text. That's what makes you so fun.What's funny is, the end goal would be that we all wind up with the premium plan. Bring the level of service up so that everyone can get the same level of care. This being said to address your first point as well as the "would you with the same" point. I think everyone should have access to the same quality level of care that Biden, Trump, or any of the other former POTUS club has. The same as the Senators and House members have. We are (not sure if you noticed this before) America. We claim we're the best at everything. Why not be best at healthcare rather than blowing up people in other countries? We 100% have the resources and capabilities, IF WE WANTED, to make the best care in the world available for everyone. We just seem fixed on paying off layers of middle men. Is the Canadian system perfect? The British system perfect? No? Well, then lets be all American and do the most American thing and show them up by perfecting them maybe? The funny thing about those articles is that after reading them, it kind of smacks that the people coming from Canada, or the people going to private doctors are not the poor. The poor don't really have resources for international travel for non life threatening surgeries usually. Unless I'm missing something. Same thing in the NHS --- you don't drop hundreds of pounds unless you have it laying around for something non life-threatening. So all of those articles seem to lack context on class. Meanwhile, should you want to call out death panels, I suppose I'd love to hear your take on what the insurance companies can do. Denying life saving drugs here in America. Denying treatments here in America. LOVE dishing out opiates though. I've spent hours and hours of my life I'll never get back fighting to get my "pre approved" treatments paid out over the years. Fighting to get the scripts doctors have written. I've never had to fight for life saving medication yet, but I've seen plenty of stories from folks that have. Because the insurance companies ARE the death panels here with the power to decide yes or no to treatments. I mean, or people could payout their life savings to cover the denied treatments until they die, which statistically speaking, is a pretty short time span for most folks. And please, should you want to keep this lovely conversation going, have the basic courtesy to not purposefully misstate my beliefs for your embellishment. For example saying I "wish harm on Trump". No, I think it's great he got care. I just want everyone else to get the same. I want Biden to get the same too for that matter. Also "my cnn and msnbc". No, I don't watch either of those. "Read and weep" buddy, as much fun as we've had together especially the last few months, you'll never be important enough to make me weep. Stoke your own ego should you want, but don't put your beliefs about me and my thinking out there when they're not accurate.</blockquote>
