I’m just impressed you can keep your eyes open as you back into that bush. Must be those pre-modern, Soviet-grade contacts.

Your sarcasm may not be appreciated by everyone but I think it’s hot.

What kills me is that we’ve somehow given insurance companies authority over our healthcare system to decide what is medically necessary. It’s like pre-buying a new car but when it’s delivered it has no seats. You argue with the dealer and their response is “You don’t need seats to drive the car.”

We manage to spend 2x per person on healthcare from European countries, which pretty much cover everything.

What drives health spending in the U.S. compared to other countries? - Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker
The U.S. spends more on healthcare per capita than its peers. Most of the additional health spending goes to providers for inpatient and outpatient care.

Well said. It’s a touchy subject but *emotional and intellectual toughness* should be listed as a virtue, especially in Higher Ed. Your well articulated categories would be a huge step in the right direction.
