See, there is a qualitative difference there. Not being able to pay single payer for a procedure that is way too expensive is one thing. The other, is paying for insurance coverage and the insurer acting on bad faith to not deliver what the contract said it would.

The latter is just fraud but in America the judiciary lets this happen as it is dysfunctional as well.

On single payer, very complex procedures like organ transplants, tumor resections in complicated places (ie neurosurgery) become completely out of reach of normal people. That is also extreme and undesirable.

The public pays for coverage and expects to be covered. If the insurers think the cost is too high then they should just increase premiums instead of denying coverage under existing contracts. Simple like that.

Ugh I can’t wrap my mind around how weird and unintuitive GIMP feels to use

It’s America - your data and privacy do not matter right now and the septuagenarian congress will only look at regulating this 150 years from now

using systemd instead of rm -Rf is not the Unix way!

These days the unique use case X was designed for is very, very niche. For everyone else, Wayland is the way to go.
