"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

Why did their state pick United Health to cover their Medicaid plan?
While Universal care sounds good. The reality is that our gov approve the Medicare Advantage plans offered by the BUCAs.
Maybe we need to change what we expect and what we need from gov chosen plans first ?
