He got burned and then around a month ago he rode his bike into an unmarked wire resulting in a crash and multiple broken bones including his collarbone. Dude needs to calm down a bit.

bro what are you even talking about, half of it is bragging you can speak 3 languages and the rest is random insults. I am not even american you clown.

NOT a shill. It's a national security issue. We have to protect our domestic Leno supply, so we don't become dependent on foreign Lenos. Please approach this rationally.

oh you sweet child, sure they are spending the profits on new treatments, sure they are... ;)

You jump from country to country like a travel show on Netflix. Calm down jetsetter.

how about we forget about specific systems from countries for a sec. There are a million different systems. In germany it's all private insurance companies, but heavily restricted by the gov, so actually not private at all. I am sure Finnland has thousands of weird quirks aswell as America. The point is this, if you have insurance and pay for it your whole life, then the cost of treatment should not matter. You have already paid for it every month you were alive.

if i get sick and there is a way to treat my sickness, i would like them to do that. My health insurance should pay for the treatment.

Same with physical injuries. If i burn my face off and there is a way to restore it, then i would very much like that. There is absolutely no reason to make this an income issue. Everyone pays health insurance for this exact case. In case of a health problem, i have the insurance that i will get adequate help.

The only problem is he still looks like Jay Leno.

And before you get riled up, that was just a joke. I think Jay Leno is great, and I think he would appreciate a good roast, he already has.

the problem is that you think it actually costs 1 mil, but go off defending the broken system boo

I want that plastic surgeon if I ever need one. Probably not covered by my HMO.

I don't think the most advanced plastic surgery needs to be available to all people.

Jay Leno is a talk show host and his appearance is important for his career and for everyone that works for him. I'm a programmer. If I get 3rd degree burns, I don't need the $1m latest cutting edge, option. Take care of the burns, minimize the scars as best you reasonably can, and that's ok.

And realize that by paying for the very advanced, $1m option, Jay is helping to advance that technology and it will become cheaper over time.

Psychotic? That seems a bit extreme. What I am describing is a typical experience with private insurance. Most of the time people describe health insurance in the US like only 10% of people have it.

Plus, if someone figures out how it works well, doesn't that interest you?

In the civilized world it doesnt.

Typical "I got mine" psychotic mentality.

Not all treatments are affordable though.

It's a pipe dream.

A benefit of a private public split is it allows private clinics to spend loads of money on relatively new technology and overtime demonstrate and prove efficacy as well as allow the initial R&D costs to be absorbed by them.

Then once the treatments are affordable they can drop down into the public system.

To say everything must be public immediately ignores the obvious reality that the governments pockets are not infinitely deep and when there is no profit incentive some things just won't get researched.

Take skin grafting as an example. It's cosmetic surgery at the end of the day. A government isn't going to invest in getting people trained for such a procedure.

But private will because people would pay to look 'normal'.

Now that the people are trained on skin grafting and the technology is common, public healthcare gets to take advantage.

You would hurt the overall level of care by being driven by an end goal of wanting everything to be available to everyone.

Sure, can be done but compared to before there would be less procedures possible.

Nuance? Sir, this is Reddit, where capitalism is bad, brought to you by a tech company owned by the CCP but IPOing on Wall Street.

He drives too many cars most likely is the cause of this. He was pulling in forward into a spot pretty tight. He was unfortunately in a tesla which are generally poor in the maneuver compared to what he likely drives. REmember he drives from antique Model T's all the way up to a modern porsche. The tesla is likely still the worst at that maneuver from his normal drivers. Small mistake, barely a little paint scrape.

that would mean some treatments would be unatainable for some people, which is unacceptable. This is also a problem in almost all countries today, so not just america.

Assuming that people want things to be illegal, as opposed to unnecessary.
