Tl;dr, have your holidays in Mexico, it's dirt cheap for you gringos now.

And it's loving awesome, but it's my secret so I don't tell anyone. My most recent trip was way under-budget.

At some point I'll eventually trade potential salary increases for time. My dream is puttering around the world on a bicycle until I die; it's something that's both cheap and cannot be accomplished at a desk.

Feel free to address the point that Medicare reimburses at or below cost and shifting the entire population to it would put providers out of business instead of attempting to deflect.

Yes you idiot. Healthcare is a right and should not be for-profit. I literally want health insurance companies to go out of business. Hospitals will be fine.

When you say to a Hospital "I'm going to pay you at or below cost for everything" they go out of business. No organization can sustain a deficit forever. This isn't a hard concept.

Not-for-profit entities operate at margin all the time. State-run entities may even run a deficit if it's a public good!!

Redistribution is only a band-aid for the real problem, which is power and social relations as they intertwine with economics and basic survival for millions. The higher you jack up taxes on the John Galts of the world, the more they'll bitch and undermine everyone else. Best they not existed in the first place.

Copper can be worked into a pot still, which would be incredibly valuable.
