I’d say it’s impressive, but, again, with tons of help, it’s plausible that an average mom who delivered naturally could do it, especially if they were motivated by wanting to have glowing press reviews.

I think some of that is the anxiety of the newness of it all. We aren’t less vigilant in caring for our newborn this time around, it’s just that instead of having to rely on What to Expect When You’re Expecting or some other book to figure out when your baby just needs to fart and can’t get it out and when she’s in…

And he’s so conniving and adaptable. My kid makes Johnny Cochrane look inadequate in terms of his ability to weasel his way around my questions or accusations about what he’s doing.

It’s all relative I guess, I mean the one by itself.

Makes sense. My old congressional rep is Louie Gohmert. Notably famous for walking up to Congressional Democrats doing a sit in for gun control on the floor of the House after the Pulse night club shooting and screaming “RADICAL ISLAM!”

The body, having literally birthed a child, needs time to bounce back. Wong is upfront about things like having a nanny and says her ability to maintain a work-life balance is because of this—just one fact of life she wishes more famous mothers were frank about. “It’s unfair to the hard-core stay-at-home moms to…

Right?

Naw. I’ve got no interest in talking about possibilities that include keeping our current system.

Because the “greed” variable is a controlling variable in the process of rationing things that no amount of single payer will make not be scarce.

The rationing I’m talking about is the time of doctors capable of performing liver transplants and available livers.

That’s an incorrect, juvenile reading of my comment.

I would say that you believing that doesn’t make it true, but if enough people agree with you, it does make it more likely that we’ll fuck it up.

Icing is back?

It actually “costs” more, that’s just the negotiated rate for the insurance company.

This is a deeply shortsighted comment.

I agree, but there would, even under single payer, still be mechanisms that would flag said treatment for review. Making sure our systems are built more effectively than current systems for triaging and rationing things like liver transplants is vital, because removing profit motive isn’t a cureall that results in…

I am so sorry.

This sort of thing will also be a challenge under single payer I think.

Sure, whatever you say Keith.

No, he’s not. He’s a pundit.
