"Todd Blanche is violating the law."

On the evening Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, he didn’t rush off to the loud celebrations. Instead, he stayed inside a hotel room in Chicago playing Scrabble with his daughters — Malia Obama and Sasha Obama. A simple moment. But it revealed a great deal about the man who entered history that night. While millions of Americans celebrated his victory, Obama wanted his daughters to remember the evening not as a political spectacle, but as time spent with family. On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama took the oath of office as the 44th President of the United States, placing his hand on the same Bible used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861. For the first time in American history, an African American became president. But Obama’s story was never only about grand speeches and historic ceremonies. During the campaign, he still made time to read Harry Potter to his daughters before bed. As a child growing up between Hawaii and Indonesia, the future president loved comic books and superhero stories. Even his political career began in an unconventional way: in 1996, he won his first seat in the Illinois Senate after a difficult legal battle over the signatures submitted by his opponents. Then came the White House. But even there, Obama refused to abandon simple habits. He personally read letters from ordinary Americans and often replied to them himself — sometimes late at night. He believed a president should hear people directly, not only through statistics and reports. Obama is left-handed — like only a handful of U.S. presidents before him. He wore nearly identical dark suits and the same style of shoes every day so he wouldn’t waste energy on unnecessary decisions. And he had one tradition he never broke: on Election Day, he always played basketball. The only election he had ever lost happened when he skipped it. Michelle Obama once shared that even in the White House, her husband made his own bed every morning — a habit taught to him by his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, whom he lovingly called “Toot.” Even while living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he never forgot who he had been before becoming president. And perhaps that is why millions of people around the world saw in him not just a politician — but a human being. A man who, amid power, fame, and history-changing decisions, tried to preserve the things that mattered most: family, simplicity, humanity, and a connection to the people for whom all of it was meant to matter.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?
