They just need to be “encouraged” more

Yet another murican struggles with the idea that other cultures have different ways of naming and those names reference different culture codes.

Not writing AI system to predict crimes based on race/appearance is not exactly a great regulatory burden. US companies will go right ahead, and they are welcome to turn US into shithole straight from a dystopian SF novel. Have fun. However those companies will not operate in EU and Trump’s screeching will not change that. It’s like whenever “EU” and “AI” appears in a title, some dumb monkey writes pretty much the same dumb comment.

If Salvador is doing “great” with butcoin, why is it begging IMF for more gambling money? Cash out and pay your own damn bills

Not spending a shitload money on useless middleman will certainly allow to buy more equipment and hire more doctors. After all insurance companies profit come directly from the money spent on healthcare system.

That's really unrelated to the discussion. My point is that US spends a shitload of money on healthcare per capita while getting pretty poor outcomes out of that. In short, it is using that money very inefficiently.

I am not sure if I understand this your point correctly. But if insurance don't work to amortize risk across the population, then I think it is not fit for purpose and should be replaced with a different system. It's not even required to invent that system - just look at other OECD countries.

That of course is their choice. It puzzles me that they are more comfortable with private companies making decisions about who lives and dies, but to each their own.

You are setting up a strawman here - nobody can in good faith argue that resources are infinite and yes, some people will be still denied care. That's obvious for anybody with a working brain.

However they are completely correct in thinking that removing insurance companies from the picture will create an enormous pool of resources because it can be trivially proven by looking at other OECD countries - how much they are spending vs health outcomes. The simple truth that US medical system is incredibly inefficient, mostly because you have a big, fat parasite sitting in the middle of it. Insurance companies provide no added value in the medical system beyond sucking out money and transferring it to shareholders.

So yes, maybe 10 people will be denied experimental therapies that cost $10 million a month, but millions of people won't be afraid to call ambulance when they are bleeding all over the floor or have their finances ruined because they were taken to 'out of the network' hospital.

Whenever there is discussion about single-payer healthcare (the model that's used in vast majority of developed countries) invariably you have some murican chiming in with fantasies about 'death panels' that supposedly operate in Canada, UK, etc. The funniest part of that is that US already has those 'death panels' - they are called insurance companies and if they think condemning you to die will make $1 more for their investors, they will happily do it.

Between you and judge, who has better chance of whistling up some uniformed guys with guns to enforce their will?

F*** shifting. When renting I always take automatic even if it is slightly more expensive. Shifting is a hassle I just don't need, especially when trying to navigate traffic in an unfamiliar city and different country.

We have a chance to significantly reduce noise pollution in cities, finally. But no, lets mandate extra noise because some people can't be bothered to look up from their phones
