> we will eradicate HIV within the a single generation at this rate

If there is one place socialised medicine makes so much sense that almost any argument against it is invalid, it's around contagious diseases.

We had a taste when COVID shots were free, and it was magical. So nice not having to make 16 phone calls and then getting billed $800 "by mistake", followed by 20 more phone calls to fix it, only to find out that the pharmacist's sister's mailman was out of network, so we're sending your bill to collections because it got lost in the mail.
