GOP: Don't invest in climate-change mitigation research... global warming is fake and you're messing with God's creation.

Also GOP: Can you use your "jewish space-laser" weather technology to stop wildfires, pweez? 🥺👉👈.

I. just. can't.

It seems they've learned nothing from November and are eager to try more of the same.

I'm with you until the end.

And while care isn't universally better in the EU... for the average American it is better in MANY western EU countries.

My point was not that EU care is _always_ better, but rather that healthcare options for the wealthy elite (Pelosi, McConnell, Musk, Thompson, etc.) are different from the rest of us bc they can afford good insurance or afford to go abroad for treatment. Musk could buy a whole hospital system.

You're right... her surgery would be covered by her employer. But as a tourist, Luxembourg would cover 100% of ER and 80-90% of other care.

Healthcare is demonstrably cheaper and better abroad in many western countries. That's why Medical Tourism is a booming industry.
