I worry when it is he government that is ultimately in charge of picking winners and losers, particularly when it comes to life and death/healthcare. I would argue that instead we have a system with multiple choices to allow individuals to have maximum freedom of choice to meet their needs. You can do a couple of things to drive costs down; make the Health Care sector tax exempt, allow pharmaceuticals to bring their medications to market in a quicker manner while not compromising safety, organize providers into networks (with fiduciary requirements) that patients can buy a membership in, allowing employers to offer 1:1 matching HSA (tax exempt for employer and employee up to 25k/yr). All of those measures taken together will lower costs considerably while giving the individual patient the flexibility to find the provider they are most comfortable with, as opposed to being assigned one. Tuition reform is needed because colleges get fed at the Fed piggy trough. Here is your worthless degree for 40k/yr in loans that you will never be able to pay back but hey, it's the Feds doling it out so the screwl doesn't care, they already got paid it is just the poor student who gets stuck with the bill they can't escape (no bankruptcy). I mean, if I can go to Google's "lern2c0de" for six months and get a job making 60k/yr why do I need to go take 40 hours of gender studies and weather and climate? The schools currently offer some degrees which are viable, and others which aren't. Maybe schools should have to guarantee the economic viability of their degree programs, if a graduate can't get a job in their field of study within a year the school has to assume the loan debt. I wonder how fast that would change things. Come to think of it, I'm going to be going to a picnic this weekend with my Congressman's field staff, maybe I'll mention that. Seems like a good idea to me, save taxpayers some cash.

What about disciplinary cases who had to sit in the front because they lit strips of magnesium on fire when they sat in the back?

Finally a reason to turn on the TV.

Yeah, no. I said get rid of insurance companies. No single payer, it is too expensive, it only drives up the costs and destroys quality of care. I do agree with tuition reform, but it shouldn't be limited to med school. People shouldn't have to go into 40k of debt for a degree in Gender Studies that will get them a 20k/yr job grinding beans at a Starbucks if they are lucky.

You knew I was going to.... Thank aside, healthcare is so damn expensive precisely because of the involvement of insurance companies.

Liver. With fava beans And an nice Chianti.... Seriously, liver is very high in iron, and if you soak it in milk for half an hour it gets rid of most of the mineral flavor. Spinach, kale and collard greens are very good as well. Slice up a piece of bacon and render it in a saute pan, then saute the greens in the bacon fat and add a pinch of red pepper flake to taste and you have good eats to be sure. Dried fruits such as raisins and apricots have a good supply of iron. Be careful of the sugar content though. Seafood has iron, but larger fish like tuna and swordfish can contain mercury. Beans are a good source of iron and fiber, particularly lentils.

Something to do this weekend.
-
I never use it. I always go shopping myself, I am very picky about my produce and meats, and I make just about everything from scratch so using it for boxed items is kind of pointless.

Attention I fucked up on the Pick em game. The Texans/Chiefs game is Thursday. The date is correct, the day was off. Picks are still valid until kickoff as always. I'll wear my glasses when I do this.
