Oh for sure. In the Swiss example they are very heavily regulated. Just pointing out that there are different ways to get to universal coverage.

This is one option, but the removal of all private insurance isn’t necessarily the only or best way. The Swiss have a system that’s basically Obamacare on steroids, and it results in costs well below ours despite some of the best health outcomes on the planet.

People who can’t use “whom” correctly, on the other hand

That late hit on the w/r after the pick is ridiculous. Very concerned about player safety.

Definitely yes to the first part, and kind of on the second. Because the racket breaking was the second warning, I think the point penalty was required. And when she melted down and started calling the dude a thief, I don’t think the game penalty was too crazy.
