You're not hearing me.
I didn't say "leave it alone."
I said, show me the policy that fixes it, and we'll talk. Show me. You're apparently a subject-matter expert. Fix it. And then we'll talk about universal healthcare.
However under president Obama, and presumably under Bernie Sanders the waiting days of the VA went down 119 days between 2014 and 2015 I think?
Not really sure where to go from there.
We're political children more concerned with soundbites than policy.

My point being that all countries with universal healthcare systems face these challenges to a greater or lesser extent. I know the current administration doesn't exactly inspire confidence but you can do it! I believe in you USA! The idea that the greatest superpower in the history of the world cant confront the horrors of regional diversity in order to provide healthcare to its citizens is ludicrous.
I've worked in two different countries with universal healthcare systems. Neither of them were perfect but both of them had significant advantages over the American system. This is particularly true in the provision of pre-critical preventative care. Again, not perfect, but better.

Ok, we can drop it for now and find a new topic to talk about. I have been neglecting some RP stuff last night and today because of the discussions unfortunately.

True, but most decisions aren't as permanent as that. Choosing whether your kid gets certain medications or if they go to a certain school is what the parent thinks is best, not what the parent exactly feels like they want. To me it's like they're treating a baby like a cheese burger. "Oh, no pickles. Lots of lettuce. And yes, ketchup. But not TOO much ketchup."
If it is eugenics to try to avoid genetic diseases, then all those gene therapy trials are in trouble. Frankly I hope we are one day able to edit out such genetic defects, although we have a considerable way to go.
According to the article the Netherlands alreay has such a list:
Ah the old fetus/car loan equivalency. Seriously? How is this even remotely similar? You didn't borrow the fetus from someone...unless ... you DID?!
I suppose it is something that should be left up to the mothers but I personally would never be comfortable euthanizing a healthy newborn.
Well the FBI wire tapped Manafort because of supposed ties to Russia, not Trump himself.

But Obama himself didn't wiretapped Trump, which is what Trump claimed.
