This sounds like someone who doesn’t know about organ transplants. I learned about lung transplants recently and about half of people die within 5 years of getting one. Those who make it longer often having major issues like popcorn lung that force them to live limited lives due to the complications. They also require lots of medications to make your body not reject them. Those meds can be difficult to actually take if you also have other issues that require different courses of medication like infection or cancer.

Also true and indefensible.

As I get older and need the healthcare system more, I have had this realization that except for cosmetic surgery no one uses healthcare that they don’t need. Like, no one is out there trying to scam their insurance company out of a free colonoscopy. They get that procedure because they don’t want to die. Rejecting claims should be illegal. The goal of the healthcare system should be to treat people. Insurance is the wrong paradigm to manage healthcare because implicitly it’s built around rationing resources.

We don’t do this with food, and yet healthcare is a basic need. What do we do as a society to meet our food needs? We scale up. We plant megatons of crops. We build new technologies to be able to produce more. Why with healthcare do we not do the same? Med schools should accept more than 2% of applicants. The number of doctors in the US is kept artificially low. Also, let people interested in medicine attend abbreviated university programs. Skip the 4 year bachelors and get your med school degree directly in 5-6 years like they do in the UK. Redirect all the overhead and money spent on insurance to building hospitals and hiring doctors.

MIT predicted society would collapse by 2040 back in the 70s.

Learn critical thinking skills and stop believing in bullshit cooked up 2000 years ago.

You’re insane dude. The Palestinians were just living their lives and then the Israelis showed up and started taking their land. The West Bank is full of Israeli invaders.

If you’re cool with the status quo in principle, how about you give me your address, I’ll show up with an army and take your land. Don’t worry though, you can live on a corner of it. If you don’t like that arrangement, tough shit. Get violent with me and you’re a terrorist.

Ladders too

America is stupid

Why don’t these companies build in northern states? They are cold in the winter and there is tons of water.

Gotta love that free market capitalism, all guided by the invisible hand of the market.
