MST3K🖖 I don't believe in beliefs. Jedi. Facts. Science. Math. Logic. Moving to bluesky full time when my important follows get there.

@ZKForTre agree completely, I'm sure it's not as easy as,"just do what Norway does"

@Earthshine34 That would be true of several areas of medicine if we went to MfA tomorrow. Maybe that tradeoff is worth it (it probably is), but getting the American consumer ready for that is a huge lift.

Short commentary on the concept of Medicare for All in this decade (and the failure of politicians and journalists who interview them to wrestle with what it means):
For those proposing it, I want to see white papers on how you are going to stand up the federal infrastructure to manage all of healthcare in this country within 5 years. You can’t pass a bill under President Ossoff (hopefully) in 2029 and say it’s going to be implemented in 2040. You don’t have assurances that the investments can sustain that many administrations’ whims.
Most notably, how are you going to get large providers on board? Are you going to pay Medicare reimbursement rates for all of healthcare? How are you going to prepare the upper half of the income distribution for the changes that will force on their healthcare access? The idea that they will still enjoy their same-week orthopedic appointments is a fantasy. If you allow exceptions, how are you going to make up the funding gaps of the richest Americans paying for swanky private policies?
We have nowhere near the infrastructure to manage this level of bureaucracy at this point, and the notion of standing it up while you pass the legislation is beyond absurd. So where are the white papers?

Emergency! is an amazing show and a lot of the is because of the charisma and skill of Randolph Mantooth who played Johnny Gage on the show. Just learned that he passed away at the age of 80. If you have never seen the show or his other work, please do.

@trekpolitics Where do you rank the trial scene of Kirk in Star Trek? I always think of that one as my favorite.

New #TrekPolitics! This week it's the riveting courtroom drama "Court Martial" and one of the greatest lines ever spoken in an episode of Star Trek ("Humanity fading in the shadow of the Machine" -Sam Cogley). Stick around for #Bobservations!

Jon Stewart polling higher than Shapiro has destroyed what little optimism I had left.
