    Don’t worry, you won’t have time to worry about the fall of civilization when you’re dying from previously preventable diseases

      Don’t worry, I’ll get to go even sooner than that. I have pre-existing conditions, once my insurance is stripped from me, I’m living on a timer.

          The worst part about it, other than me suffering and dying, which is a bit of a downer, is that it’s not even “CEO gets a new mega-yacht for marginal improvements in social efficiency”. Like, me dying isn’t dying for an on-average-superior system, it’s me dying for a system that exists, at this point, just to make healthcare efficiency worse.

          If it was “Emperor of Healthcare buys a 224th megayacht because the new triage system he ordered implemented saves 0.1% more people, but you, PugJesus, specifically, are going to die under this new system even though the 224th megayacht could pay for your lifetime treatment”, I’d be pissed and terrified, but at least there’s a POINT to it. But no, it’s “We’ve found a way to cheat 67% more people out of getting healthcare! Here’s a reward, Mr. CEO, for making society worse!”

              Why the hell does he have to wait? He’s not being resurrected, because All Dogs Go To Heaven, per Catholic and Protestant Dogma.

              The Rainbow Bridge is proof that even a little girl from Ireland, or anywhere else, that has a pure heart can change the Dogma of their society.
