Terrye:
I wouldn’t want to derail the thread too far into the medical care issue, but I do have a modest expertise in this area, and I can say with some assurance that the basic problem is that everybody wants everything and everybody wants someone else to pay for it.
G_d help us if the government tries to solve the problem. Only an alliance of physicians and other “providers” (G_d, how I despise that word!) and patients or prospective patients (i.e., all of us), can decide what needs to be done and how to make it happen.
I haven’t the slightest idea in practice how to bring that about.

Back to the topic of the thread: “Power Line” directed me to the stunningly frank, perceptive and even moving speech Putin gave to the Russian people:
We cannot but see the evident: we are dealing not with separate acts of intimidation, not with individual forays of terrorists. We are dealing with the direct intervention of international terror against Russia, with total and full-scale war, which again and again is taking away the lives of our compatriots.
