Wracking my brains to figure out why the guy who can buy access to utopian health care we could never imagine would be upset at the idea of having to lay in a bed next to the rest of us

they hope that your more costly care bills end up with a different insurer. And all of the companies are doing this to each other so it all comes out in the wash, and none of them really make extra money (unless they're better than the others at delaying care - looking at you United Health)

The other aspect that gets talked about less: because of the job and marketplace based private insurance system, the average amount of time a person is insured by any given company is something like 2 years. So by making your healthcare take as long as possible,

Can confirm: I, a person who is over 400 lb at the time I made the appointment, went to a weight loss specialist. My insurance refused to cover a penny for the initial visit because it wasn't referred, and has subsequently covered all of the other things for my weight loss that I got referrals for.

Because they want to pay a PCP who is more than likely a nurse practitioner and not a doctor to filter your needs and hopefully reduce the amount of insurance payouts for specialist visits, which are far more expensive on average.

Mark, trying to scare monger about single-payer healthcare: what if single-payer healthcare was exactly like the system we have now?

Also, Mark. Mark, I know you have billions of dollars. So you don't actually know how any of us live? But I make pretty good money and I don't have access to the doctors and hospitals that you do. We already live in that reality. Single-payer healthcare is how we can escape it.

That's the thing about the law. The law does not have to allow them to opt out to only serve rich people or charge whatever exorbitant rate they think they can. You should probably support laws that mean that everyone can access the best quality of care.

Hey Mark! Most of us have to go to primary Care before we can see a specialist because we do not have billions of dollars, and our private for-profit insurance companies refuse to pay for many forms of medical care without a PCP referral, which means we can't afford it without going to a PCP first.

Ancient aliens having come to Earth has long been a go-to explanation for some white people trying to square the circle of how brown 'savages' could have built their contemporary megastructures without being, you know, civilized. (And white)

As someone who has always been extremely good at math, I found the American system of teaching math to be awful and probably the biggest reason for people being "bad" at math. I basically taught myself most of it
