    This is long overdue. All other insurance you pay for in the open market.

    Also whats long overdue is having healthy people who take care of themselves paying the same premiums as those who don't.

    The only thing worse than the government is the free market.

    So, they are below lab rats? They are real people.


    What does that say about you?

    Something I didn’t know: there was a pandemic early-warning program. They detected novel coronaviruses very similar to COVID-19. One of their labs was in Wuhan. Those are unfortunate and strange coincidences!

    “The pandemic “didn’t surprise us, unfortunately,” said Jonna Mazet, executive director of the One Health Institute in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, who served as the global director of PREDICT for a decade. “The work had been ongoing for some time. And when the crisis hits, everybody stands up and takes notice and says, ‘OK, we believe you.’”

    Edit: here is more information on the program.

    I would say some prisoners should be labeled below lab rats.
