This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but is the USA spending $1.3T on healthcare and it's still not free?

Yes.

Welcome to America! The greatest nation!

And another 2.5Trillion on the private side. Spend more on healthcare than any other country with the same or worse outcomes.
