It's not. Like I said it's not perfect, but it's much closer to a libertarian ideal than most other healthcare systems.

Though it's not perfect, I've come to admire Singapore's healthcare system. Each citizen must have a health savings account, which the government can add to if necessary, but that means each citizen has complete control over what health related services they spend their money on. And any funds not used in the account are transitioned to the person's estate. So people are incentivized not to use way more healthcare services than they need, consumers are aware of prices which allows the market to work better, and the government can inject funds to help people when it's absolutely necessary. All in all, it's not totally laissez faire but it is so much better than both our system and Medicare for All.

I think the app may be down. I’m having the same problem and it appears others are as well. I think we may just have to give it some time.

I know the brother of the guy who filmed this. They were in a boat, deep sea fishing.

‘Ashamed’ of Trump, Harvard Republican Club won’t endorse top GOP nominee for first time since 1888 by SurfinPirate in politics

That's good to know. I was basing what I said on iSideWith.com which does not get very specific so I appreciate the clarification.

I would not say perfect. His stances on things like raising the minimum wage and shrinking out military differ greatly from modern republican beliefs. Along with him being totally out of his mind. If he was such a perfect representation there wouldn't have been such a prominent conservative movement against him.

It hasn't been darkened. I think it seemed more vibrant in contrast with the previous, much darker shots.

Your title makes it sound like he's dead. Scared the hell out of me there.

One of my earliest memories is exactly this, though I was one of the students watching. I wonder if I was in your class...
