Neither is anything else.
Scarce would have been a better term.

Neither is anything else an average citizen needs.
You might want to reconsider your statement in light of the state of healthcare in America.

Not at all scarce. It is expensive.
Scarcity increases the value of any product or service.

It’s expensive because it’s scarce. That’s the whole supply/demand thing.
McDonald’s hamburgers are cheap because they’re relatively plentiful. Wagyu beef is expensive because it’s scarce … like healthcare.

I agree. Health Insurance isn’t scarce.
It’s expensive because not as many health people have it to offset the unhealthy people. Insurance is based on risk.

Not true. And didn’t obamacare fix that anyway?
Obamacare was trying to fix that with the individual mandate. It worked. It slowed down the rise in healthcare cost compared to previous years.
The more health people paying for insurance subsidized the the unhealthy.
The people without insurance. Again, because they needed those people to pay for healthcare to lower costs.

Agreed which makes Trump statements on “keeping pre existing conditions AND making healthcare cheaper” to be a complete lie. It’s impossible without more healthy people buying insurance.

Poor people didn’t pay the “tax”. They were exempt. And most people didn’t pay it at all.

Check the map.
Omaha is west of Des Moines. Now look on map…can you see anywhere for 747 to land? That has hanger/space large enough for 30 thousand people?
It’s called logistics.
Are minorities as represented in rural violent crime stats as they are in urban violent crime stats? It may be a matter of minorities in cities being more dangerous for police than minorities in rural areas are.

it will be free under Biden, but, we still do not know who will pay for it. Maybe barefoot doctors will take the place of trained health care professionals.
