    - That's pretty damn awesome. - ty97 Oct 1, 11:17 1
      - I had an aha moment, actually, with the smoking/drinking thing, that the two can inform each other. - TFox Oct 1, 11:20
    - all right, way to go -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 11:16

someone who drinks Diet Coke has no standing to talk crap about the taste of iced tea - crash davis Oct 1, 11:06 4
- I prefer Cherry Zero but they don't have that in most fountains -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 11:07 2
  - I'm intervening. From now on, you like iced tea and pixie likes Cherry Zero. That will make me feel better. -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 11:11 1
    - what are you, the beverage fairy? -- nm - shamu Oct 1, 11:22

    - brilliant, thanks! - ty97 Oct 1, 11:10 3
      - just fyi, RDA for sodium is 2400 -- nm - decline Oct 1, 11:13 1
        
        I'll probably lucky to stay below 4000 at this rate. yikes. -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 11:16

  - can you help me see where? I can't find it -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 11:05
I even actually have health insurance now but any time I have to deal with anything in the medical industry I can't believe we have the "best system" -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 11:02 11
- Anybody who doesn't immediately shout We're no#1 We're no#1 about anything to do wth the US is obviously an unpatriotic tool of the godless communists -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 1, 11:06 1
  - damn right, I am! :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 1, 11:14
- We're great for certain things, like certain kinds of life-saving surgery. However, I hear we are really wanting for primary care. -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 11:05 7
  - I should be more clear: I'm talking specifically about the insurance/administration side of things that I always have problems with. - Dano Oct 1, 11:09 6
    - Oh. It doesn't seem to me that we *have* any sort of national health insurance system. Its quality very much depends on where you live - con_carne Oct 1, 11:13 1
      - and, whether you have any sort of chronic illness (a.k.a. the dreaded "pre-existing conditions") -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 11:18
    - what we need to do is stop talking about health care and health insurance as if they're the same thing. -- nm - znufrii Oct 1, 11:09 3
      - he did say "system". the system has to include all the major components. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 11:12 2
        
        I was making a more general observation that the two ideas tend to get conflated all too easily in the current debate - znufrii Oct 1, 11:13 1
        
        They get conflated often because it's hard to fix one without the other. - TFox Oct 1, 11:15
- (we don't.) -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 11:03
