You’re right. I am just bitter and angry because I have to get my endoscopy done and I owe my life to my doctoral program that gives me excellent health insurance.

Agree immensely. As an adult, I worry about taxes, my health insurance, making doctor’s appointments, etc.

Well, unfortunately the current administration has blocked a bill that would have prohibited medical debt from reflecting on your credit score.

I eat a lot of fibrous frankenfoods and I’m not sure if the net effect is positive, but I think it helps my bowel movements…

I just hate associative claims that delicately prance around the word “causality”.

I’m sure that we could run a casual analysis on this, though my cursory search yielded nothing, probably because the claim that a certain level of red meat consumption causes certain cancers in humans is not really falsifiable (though we have a plausible biological mechanism to explain it).

I know some biostatisticians but only one or two would have the training to conduct such an analysis, and I wouldn’t trust a statistician in theoretical causality to handle it.
