    You aren't getting "Medicare for All" without raising taxes on the middle class.
    What's the point of Medicare for all if there's already Medicaid?


    Just 86 the insurance business or make it less profitable by publicizing healthcare, with private options for non-FDA approved but *promising* experimental opportunities in beta testing.

    That was a very confusing post.

    Get a rice cooker or better yet - an Instant Pot - perfect rice. For white rice, use water to a little above your middle finger knuckle (pointed down). For brown rice, use more (like a knuckle and a half). I highly recommend (on sale) an Instant Pot - pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, saute, steam - all in one.
    Don't the rice cookers usually leave you with a thick layer of crusty nasty wasted charred rice at the bottom? I want to avoid that.

    Basically, amounts to... chemo, radiation, and FDA approved treatments/surgeries are all covered. But if you want the latest greatest cure from cancer from Norway, you pay more. But majority still covered if you're a citizen, etc.

    Experimental treatment, cure, or surgery. FDA takes an average of 10 years to approve such, and if it's too risky they never approve it.

    or maybe not...I've seen two conflicting reports

    Edit...this seems like the correct brackets for Chad


    • Up to 300,000 XAF — 20%
    • Between 300,000 and 800,000 XAF — 25%
    • Between 800,000 and 1,000,000 XAF — 30%
    • Between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 XAF — 40%
    • Between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 XAF — 45%
    • Between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 XAF — 50%
    • Between 3,000,000 and 6,000,000 XAF — 55%
    • More than 6,000,000 XAF — 60%

    Lol at this

    First paragraph
    Living in Chad can be an amazing experience. The natural resorts and cultural heritage make Chad a great place to visit. As the fifth largest country in Africa, Chad is a landlocked country that is home to over ten million people.
    Then on following paragraphs on same page

    Life in Chad

    Healthcare in Chad

    Like many of its public ins utions, the Chadian healthcare system is vastly underfunded, overcrowded, and spread unequally throughout the country. Due to the political instability that has affected the country for many years, the public healthcare system is almost nonexistent, and current estimates show that there are fewer than three physicians, 15 nurses, and two midwives per 100,000 people.

    Education in Chad

    Although Chad has a compulsory education system, it is estimated that only 68% of children attend school, whilst the illiteracy rate stands at 50%.

    Transportation in Chad

    As a developing country, Chad does not have a stable, well-managed transportation network. In N’Djamena, the capital, and other major cities, there will be paved roads, but the quality will deteriorate the further you move out of the city. In addition, rural areas will usually not have paved roads, so a 4X4 vehicle is recommended if you are travelling outside of the cities. However, expatriates living in Chad should be aware that, during the rainy season, even paved roads are often unusable due to flooding. Chad currently has no rail network, but in 2012 a network was planned that will have connections between three of the major cities, N’Djamena, Moundou, and Koutéré, and to nearby Central African nations like Sudan and Cameroon. In the cities, many people will use taxis instead of driving, as they are cheaper and often easier than navigating the roads.
