As a liberal, I do not understand the people who are living through this administration and saying "you know what we should do? Make it way easier for the federal government to do sweeping new changes on a whim"

Team USA beats TWO countries AND the refs with only 10 men

You can’t break the American spirit 🇺🇸

[Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA @DrDiGiorgio]

This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take.

No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare.

The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral.

Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year.

Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes.

Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment.

The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.”

America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be.

Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities.

Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis.

It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.

This is as close as you'll ever get to the @NHL admitting they were wrong...

[Corey Masisak @cmasisak22]

#Avs Nathan MacKinnon said the NHL rescinded his major penalty.

If you get two in a certain amount of games, it’s an automatic suspension. So he’s back to zero for those purposes.

[Nathan Rudolph @DNVR_Rudo]

The NHL does not have a clue what to do with any call involving a goalie. A complete failure by the league.

[Barry @BCornella]

@BlaisHunter "If roles were reversed, Avs fans would be losing their minds..." *Proceeds in losing his mind.

If you can’t celebrate an Olympic accomplishment for and by the USA 🇺🇸, you are on the wrong side. Period.

We truly reached the theater of the absurd when it became “news” last week that hockey players are proud of their country.

[Steve Byrne @stevebyrnelive]

We live in a country where you can win Gold for China and end up on the cover of Time magazine but win Gold for US and have your own press turn on you.

[Enguerrand VII de Coucy @ingelramdecoucy]

Canada can still win Gold if Mike Pence has the courage

[Barry @BCornella]

@BDSpenc Tough to say. But I half expected him to rip the head off right there on the ice

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The United States might have a lot of problems but we're pretty fucking good at hockey.

[Dan McLaughlin @baseballcrank]

It is the opposite of lawlessness. It's reading the words of laws to mean what they say. That's the very definition of law.

Satan: Correct.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

So many people have fled Communism and forced collectivism. Watching one of the largest cities elect someone who wants to impose that ideology here is horrific.

This isn't just about rhetoric. The human costs of these policies will be very real. Best of luck, NYC.

[Barry @BCornella]

@knc4 On the bright side, you're raising a smart kid.

[Mark Hemingway @Heminator]

I can't imagine hubris of being in Congress and telling someone else to "get a real job."

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

This remains the weirdest shutdown in years. The Democrats shut down the government, and have a set of particular demands to reopen it. They’re clear about those demands, but, at the same time, routinely deny they shut down the government. Own it!
