45,000 years ago, a Neanderthal man experienced a crushing blow to the head that left him partially paralyzed for life, but his bones healed and he lived into his 30s or 40s, something only conceivably possible with the help of his community.
45,000 years ago.
But let’s pretend that 45,000 years later, we “can’t afford” universal healthcare.

Sounds like a good idea but im one of those weird people who thinks UNIVERSAL means that EVERYONE has to have it! Which means we have to prevent as much transmission as we can woith running past diminishing returns.
. As SOON as everyone starts demanding PREVENTION if infections in health care (add n95 masks tk standard ppe AND effective air quality control standards we can discuss what ELSE is ALSO a necessity.
I agree, let’s offer prevention too
@HeavenlyPossum which is plain common sense.
Idk why "wear masks in health care' stopped being taken for granted as a obvious good idea.
The answer should always be, what more should we demand from our society?
If we can devote a trillion dollars a year to “preventing” potential harms via national defense, then we’ve already proven we’re capable of mobilizing our resources for other purposes too.
