  Maybe some poor don’t get the best care quickly

  an electrical engineer is more useful than an unemployed cashier

  low value people

Well, I mean, it's rare for someone to be so upfront with their blatant sociopathy, so thanks for that I guess.

  It’s logical

ah, that ol' dogwhistle

While I disagree with briandear, I don't find it sociopathic. (It's like the PG said - be aware of what the Taboos/unspeakable ideas are in society.)

I live in Canada as an immigrant, love it here, would never move, and USA health/insurance system frankly baffles me, even having lived there for a year previously. Don't even remotely understand why people put up with sheer complexity and opaqueness.

But I appreciate people like the GP [briandear] that eloquently and clearly help me understand alternative perspectives different to my own. I think it's a very valid, very core discussion of values and goals: is it equal care for all, or do we prioritize it? And I agree with GP [briandear] that shying away from this core discussion muddles the issue. Sometimes it feels like USA builds ever more complex systems to mask the goals and direction of its health care system, rather than a simple system that would fess up and do whatever it's meant to do efficiently :-/

Ad hominem. Attack the idea not the person. Just because someone has a different view than you doesn’t make them a sociopath.
