@dilanesper I don't think k you should murder anyone. I also don't think because I don't think Bob should be killed that I should be responsible for his health care.

@dystopiangf There are now multiple medications and regimens for post-menopausal lack of libido.

@TeslaPatriot @LeahRain77 Right? This seems like a great business model. Throw a winch with a climbing harness on a truck and charge $100.

@CathyYoung63 This was a huge deal on the libertarian right at that time.

[Blade Doc @BladeDoc]

@PatrickHeizer Yes. That's because screw worm control actually meets the criteria for a public good and therefore is one of the areas that the federal government should be involved. Unlike the vast majority of what it actually gets involved with.

[Blade Doc @BladeDoc]

@HistoryBoomer Yes. He is clearly anti-Semitic hiding behind anti-Zionism and all

@Simon_Cleret @peterrhague @jewndahalfmen A lot of this passion died in the trenches of WW I, the grind of WW II, and the psychological trauma thereof. It made people demand more of the state but that turned into dependency

@asymmetricinfo You're assuming that the money being used inefficiently is being used to inefficiently line their own pockets

@PulmCrit I felt the same way about the Swann-Ganz studies

[Blade Doc @BladeDoc]

@BasedRedhead @FrenlyOfficer Ummm. Yeah.

If a physician dispenses a medication in their office, they need to buy it, stock it and the supplies necessary for use, they need to pay people to track it, dispense it, etc. There is literally no incentive to do any of that if they can't get paid for it. Either it's going to be a separate charge or they will roll it into the cost of the visit. Which, since none of this is covered will be cash.

@nycgraceryan @JeremiahDJohns A true woman of the people.

@_F_B_G_ If true, that makes it worse.

@sweetcarolinatv I think it's probably because you're using that line on 12-year-olds.

@saltymarine80 @DavidAFrench @SecWar I know "waste deep" was probably a typo but it's perfect.
