Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

It is good to treat the symptoms, but the underlying disease of a largely unregulated and neoliberal health industry remains unchanged.

Anything revolving around "supply and demand" for price development fails, if the opportunity costs of one side is to die if they don't pay.
