And it Styx right there.

The company must have known about his dip as an infant.

What’s your point?

I quibble with the phrase “health-care system”. It’s misleading. In the 1st place, it’s not a system. A system is something that’s designed to achieve a particular end, in a coordinated way, usually as efficiently as possible. (Think computers or automobiles.) In the 2nd place, it’s not about care, it’s about capitalism.

What we have in lieu of a true health-care system (you know, the kind that every other industrialized democracy on the planet has and loves) is a haphazard scattering of profit centers concentrated in areas where the money is, with vast swaths of the nation under- or un-served. By contrast, the US Postal Service and the public schools are true systems that serve every square centimetre of the country. (And yes, the metric system too is a true system, well and intentionally designed, not like ACHU, the Accidental Collection of Heterogeneous Units that the US alone in the world still clings to.)

So I recommend using the phrase “health-insurance industry”, because it’s more accurate.

“I used to be a claims adjuster like you, then I took an arrow in the heel. "

The fine print will get you every time!

They won’t heal the heel.

Balder had the same problem.

You put your left foot in, You take your left foot out, You put your left foot in, And you shake it all about, You do the hokey pokey, And you turn yourself around,That’s what it’s all about…!

Our education system and the post office are not much to brag about.

Before bragging about all the great health care systems in the world…do your research. Britain? I think not…..Excellent book: “Eurotrash” ……dispels all the stories of its excellence. Canada? Pfttttt.

Can’t heal the heel!

Physician, heel thyself.
