Do you know what happens when you have normal person insurance and try to see a specialist before talking to your PCP?

For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

The most compelling argument for this is that Sam was once a baby raised without ChatGPT, and look how he turned out.

A finished thread on how to deal with the fact that publishing sucks right now and December feels like a dead zone.
C'mere, pookie. We need to talk about how now is a difficult time for lots of people in publishing. Not just bc--*waves arms*--but bc we're seeing Best of the Year lists and Award Eligibility posts, and bc the last book deals of the year are being announced while sub times are longer than ever. 1/

So my interpretation is that they will argue that the Hep B is unnecessary and spacing out vaccines farther apart is totally fine.
The counter argument is simple.
The US is not a small European country with universal healthcare and better overall access to care.

My favorite movie is Harold and Maude, and even that, I wouldn’t hate you if you didn’t like it (but my opinion of you goes up if you do).
I think—as not a huge film buff—the closest I get is that if you aren’t at least somewhat charmed by Amélie, I may check if you’re a bug in an Edgar suit.

Ok, I have to ask. What's a movie that if someone doesn't like you'll hate them?
