10. National Health (and not just care)
Sun Nov 9, 2025, 04:04 PM
Sunday

The term "socialized" being applied to anything just shows how absurdly imprisoned we are by language.

Here we go: Let's make it a common goal to have the healthiest, most prosperous citizenry we possibly can. I don't care how we get there.

That's not just getting common funding so that everybody can be fed into the maw of rampant, robotically prescribed pharmaceutical consumption and permanent reliance on the services of the medical and psychological guilds.

We need a national health program, not just national healthcare. That includes nutrition and exercise and activities that promote health. The twin goals should be to maximize health care availability and minimize the need for it.
