That's a testable hypothesis.
THE LINES OF SIGHT CONVERGE ON A SINGLE FOCAL POINT AND ARE THEREFORE NOT PARALLEL!
Fuck! I'm that guy again.
Veteran here. The best healthcare I've gotten is consistently the appointments I have at the VA. Y'know... socialized healthcare. The VA has a reputation for being hot garbage - to my understanding they earned the hell out of that reputation, but made pretty massive improvements relatively recently. I only separated a few years ago, so I never say the earlier version.
...the infrastructure is kinda shit, and riding on those elevators is probably more dangerous than anything I ever did on active duty, but the actual health care? Zero complaints.
They do have wait times, but those are comparable to everywhere else.
We always talk about socialized healthcare like it's some unicorn that only exists in other countries, but we're already doing it... just, for some reason we're only doing it for dipshits like me who wandered into the correct star-spangled employer to trade our lumbar vertebrae for a GI Bill.
Between that and the US Public Health Service (who might actually be unicorns... heard of them, but never actually seen one) we've got the framework for it. I wish we'd just add subdivisions to the USPHS. We already have the VA (which is curiously not affiliated with them... that surprises me), medicare, tricare, Indian Health Service... Start adding bite-sized categories according to need, and offer VA style coverage. Crime Victims Health Service... Students Health Service... Rent-Food-And-Utilities-Eats-60%+-Of-Your-Income Health Service. Just keep expanding the mission and staffing accordingly. Switch VA hospitals to just 'Federal Hospitals' that offer VA services... and medicare... and students... etc. Eventually we'll still be bashing heads about Universal Healthcare when... hey wait a minute! We fuckin have it already! Then just dissolve the stupid labels so you just check in as -a- patient instead of a VA patient. Or not. ...probably not, tbh, the govt fucking loves stupid labels.

...I don't actually know why I typed all that out. That was way outside the scope of the comment I'm replying to. Um... I hope you enjoyed my almost-certianly-unrealistic-for-a-thousand-reasons-pipe-dream.
May his suffering be proportional to that which he's caused.
Just schedule the debate, and have something like this ready for if he no-shows:

If your boycott list is starting to get a bit hard to keep track of...
Unfortunately this means you and trump have very much in common.
...because we both recognize that one of his cultist pawns is a cultist pawn? Do I really need to articulate the distinction that the pawn holds no value to me because he advocates for the destruction of my rights, neighbors, and country; vs him not holding any value to Trump because he's not Trump?
I'm not going to shed any tears over the loss of evil - the world became a slightly better place when that man died.
May he spend the rest of his life in a degree of suffering to that which he caused.
Also "shaudenfruede".
I mean we can't just not peer review. Drawing conclusions from a single study?! That's crazy!
