@DavidHowell Americans’ Phobia of Socialized Medicine
@Cinegage botched healthcare happens everywhere, regardless of system. No system is perfect, but some are fairer than others.

@DavidHowell gee, I had no idea I was so divisive. ; ) for anyone who’s wondering, here’s the URL Americans’ Phobia of Socialized Medicine:Â
@DavidHowell it would be more interesting if @edubya put a comment on my article
@Cinegage for the value of “better” where better= “available to all”, yes, it’s better
@Cinegage why shouldn’t health care be a universal right? Clean water is. Police and fire protection are.
@cristianconti mh, potrebbe sempre cambiare in peggio. E’ questo che vorrei evitare.
@Cinegage so that should only be available to some people? it ain’t easy, but other countries manage to share that wealth of skill
supportive working environment = your boss provides whiskey (the good stuff) and chocolate on request
@Cinegage again: no system is perfect, but this system could be a lot more equitable

@deirdresm yes, but who then gets the position? The VP-elect?
@lbridenne76 in reference to the whiskey? dunno about the best job (tho I love it), but certainly one of the better bosses 7:11 PM Oct 20th
