I mean tankies are like such a minority opinion that they aren't taken seriously but saber rattling against North Korea is supremely dumb

Stop trying to have a private healthcare system. You can't choose to not have health care when the other option is disease, disfigurement, or death. The consumer has no leverage to pay less in that system. You can't choose to not be treated if the price is too high. This is not a problem to be solved by the free market.

you want to date a North Korean girl why ? You know South Koreans are the same ? Physically ? Like ..they are the same . Or do you just want the bragging rights ?

If you watched the vids you'd see North Korean girls are down to earth and like to laugh, but most importantly would not chastise me for living in a mud hut on the banks of the sacramento river

That training is going to come in mighty handy when one of the following happens...

Gets shot in total darkness by 19 year old PFC Jimmy Seabrook from Kansas without ever having fired a single round.
Gets obliterated in his bunker by a B-52-dropped JDAM courtesy of 26 year old Cpt Amy Novak from Spokane.
Starves to death guarding the border south of Kosong, never having seen action since nobody cares about Kosong and the invasion drove straight to Pyongyang.
Has a Hellfire land 3 feet behind him and tear him to shreds the exact instant Drone pilot 2nd LT. Davis lets a massive fart rip in an air conditioned trailer in Nebraska.
Steps on a Land Mine in the DMZ, loses a leg outright, and bleeds out in 3 minutes. The mine (ironically enough) was planted there 47 years earlier by his great uncle Kim Young-chul during his mandatory military service. Kim Young-chul is now a retired salaryman and visiting Guam so his granddaughter can have a US anchor baby.

Certain populations have certain medical needs. The Deep South, for instance, has a lot of heart disease, obesity and the like.

Places like New Mexico and Arizona have sunstroke, dehydration, water shortages.

Wyoming and Montana have huuuuge distances between hospitals and medical centers, and low populations spread out across these vast spaces.

Those all require different resources with different costs: medicine and surgery for the South, clean water access for the arid desert, and gas for the transportation of patients in the larger, less populated states. Obtaining these resources reliably and at a responsible level of cost is a major challenge, and one I think that local governments could address easier, since they could attempt to stimulate their own economies by obtaining as much of these resources from agencies close at hand.

Now, a very well-crafted system could address this, but it'd take a long long time to possibly add in as much flexible language as to provide for all the states' individual needs while not being so worded that the system is prone to abuse or mismanagement; again, developed on the state level I think many programs would be assembled much more quickly and be much more effective sooner to those states' individual needs.
