    “Taxpayer funding” is just insurance on a large scale. We all put money in a pot and all draw from it. Just without the waste of a market. I’m not sure there’s any evidence migrants are particularly net negative for the healthcare system, but not surprised that you think that. But you...

    But as the kid says, the cost of switching would be huge for what seem like marginal gains at best. I don’t know about France but my understanding of the Dutch system is that you leave a lot of holes in an insurance based system. My GFs brother needed a Go Fund Me for his care recently for...

    Transfer Rumour Alan Browne

    I think we’ll keep him for continuity and just not take the option at the end of the season.

    I think something else that has to be considered with international health comparisons is that we aren’t a particularly healthy country compared to most non US countries.

    So reading through this essay, the main point seems to be we should raise taxes to increase funding, specifically on tobacco and alcohol, am I reading that right?

    Hmmm. I think you’re discounting the pull Trump has especially among black and Hispanic voters, compared to the average republican. Politics in the states is fucked, every election for the foreseeable regardless of candidates will be close because whoever it is social media will make them out...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    Do you not remember last season? Doug had fucked it all. Too expensive. Too late. You name it. No one was going to renew, should have done it before we lose the playoffs etc etc. As I say let’s see, we’re both reading tea leaves, or even worse GIMOC posts, right now

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    Last year they first gave out the figures at 10k, then again when ST seats were released (16k), why do you think they’d do it differently this year? Let’s see where we are next week when we can see the whole seating map.
