I wonder if Tim Rickard is a 3 Stooges fan. I seem to remember a scene in one of the shorts where Moe says something like “Oh, boys, administer the anesthetic.”
I had surgery once. They tell me they successfully removed all the bothersome bits from inside my skull but now there’s this strange echo … echo … echo …
This does drive home the point that healthcare — whether universal or otherwise — is not all created equal even if applied equally and in an egalitarian manner.
What we really need is to remove the expensive and unreliable human element from it.
We need mechanisms, mechanical, electronic, electrical, nucleonic, sonic, pneumatic, chemical, radiant, glueish or what all which could scan, test, diagnose, treat any patient quickly and release in perfect health quickly and cheaply.
I have a solution for such insurance companies: their executive officers have to use the same health facilities and use the same insurance that they sell their HMO customers.

What will the surgery room be like, perhaps a cave lit with torches?

Ah. So that’s what he looked like under his metal skin.
He was a little indiscriminate with that laser scalpel.

Don’t worry, they have modernized the Billing system. So you will be overcharged as usual.
