  • There is a see-saw. The more insurance covers, the more it costs. So there will either be a healthcare cost “problem” (when insurance covers not enough, we are here) or a health insurance cost “problem” (this is what it was like prior to the ACA, everything was covered but many couldn’t afford it).

    Getting everyone on insurance got rid of the people that would go to the hospital without it an eventual die in it. The hospitals would have to eat the costs and pass that on to everyone else. ACA use to have a lot of stuff that all health insurance HAD TO cover, but the GOP has been slowly eating away at that list.

    Obama won his senate seat because his opponent had an affair. Everyone said he was too young, but then he went on to beat Hillary and McCain.

    Bill Clinton won the democratic primary because everyone thought Heart was going to win, then HE had an affair. Everyone said he was too young, but then he went on to beat Bush.

    Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden won their primary because “IT WAS THEIR TURN”. Biden only won because Republican rigged it to suppress mail in voting, but that suppressed the wrong group in the wake of COVID. I think we all have our theories on Harris. My point: I think it is time for someone that isn’t “THEIR TURN” to become our next nominee.








  • Strangely, medical privacy is the reason anyone still dies from HIV. For the cost of 10 cents per person, we could test every human in the planet and make that information public. The transmission rate goes down (1/10th) if the infected person knows, and goes down further with the right immunosupressents (by a factor of 1/100). Publicly available data might even push that to 1/1000. The transmission rate is around 1, so that means it would be cut to 1 new infected per 1000 cases.

    Within the standard life expectancy of a hiv carrier, we would go from 40 million to 40 thousand cases.
