Those generally heal well - toes hurt like hell though. As long as the distal phalanx isn’t the part with a floater they seldom cause problems. Pro tip - buy the cheapest, crappiest $4.00 pair of K-mart deck shoes and cut off the top of the affected toe (kind of like an L-shaped piece on the end) keeping the sole intact - works easier, is more comfortable and costs about 1% of a cast shoe or something similar.

Clavicles aren’t - back surgeries are, in a big way.
Another problem you run in to with current medicaid problems is that a single patient can cripple a state wide system - I can when I was in training that there was a single infant that was into the multiple millions of $$ after (I think) 16 mos. of life that spent out something insane like 15% of the entire pediatric medicaid budget for the year.

“Health care is a right” is always a sentiment that requires far more clarification from whomever states it than you generally get. But depending on what means (and there are lot of different ways it can be meant) it can be pretty tough to defend for several reasons including the one you point out
However, I think that you don’t have to prove health care is a right to be pro UHC.
I think the common name for those in USA#1 is “death panels”? 
Note to Kerowo: I don’t think that the British system has literal death panels.
Never had any problems in the decade since beyond tripping up stairs more frequently and being about ~20% slower when sprinting.
Replying to myself because I wanted to make it clear that the one patient was “responsible” for 15% of the medicaid INPATIENT budget for the state - a small fraction of the entire amount, but still a big hit for the # of dollars involved.

Yeah, clavicle fractures are probably the easy version of the problem. Stuff like back pain which Hobbes mentioned is probably much tougher.
That was so worth watching for the unexpected post mortem. I LOLled.

Everyone with a mortgage or car payment - no more Chili’s for you!
The second time I broke my collar bone the doctor gave me the option to surgically repair it. It had broken into three pieces, and the center piece which was about an inch long had flipped kind of vertical/on its side with the other two pieces either above or below it. I opted not to operate because I was dumb, and now my left shoulder is about an inch shorter than my right.
Breaking a collar bone is painful, yeah. That second break happened in college during a softball game. One of my friends drove me to the ER at Shands, but when we got there the ER was slammed, they were out of seats and people were standing around holding crying babies and whatnot. Went to check in and told the woman what happened, she asked to see my shoulder, and when she did, her eyes got big and she sent me back to a room right away (she had already checked to see if I had insurance). As I was walking through the door there was a woman holding a screaming baby that was giving me the worst look. I only felt slightly bad.
Yeah, this. Surgery sucks.
Poor people are allowed to enjoy a meal out without being scolded for making a “poor financial decision.”
Your takes on America are always categorically wrong. It is pretty obvious you have never been there. People eat at McDonalds because they are poor, lazy, busy being overworked, and/or have/are children.
People don’t buy breakfast sandwiches in their truck at 7am because it’s “important to them” or they “fear about how they’re perceived” lmfao.
These are the same people who wine about how Millennials are ruining the restaurant industry because they don’t go out to eat.
Is it really that difficult to understand that a single german woman physicist in her 40s may value her time, money and food choices differently than, say, a young mom, a physical laborer, or someone that couldn’t afford a real luxury even if they wanted to?
Your points are all just out of touch assertions. “Having children is a good reason not to eat at Mcdo” is both laughably naive and equally condescending. Ditto that people don’t “think about” or “question” their eating. You clearly have no idea.
I think Dave would probably limit this to student loan and credit card debt. And what he would deem an excessive car loan, you know it when you see it. But from what I can tell he doesn’t go into his whole rice and beans spiel just if someone has a car loan, and certainly not a mortgage. Not if it’s in the reasonable range for their income.
Broke my clavicle as well. Sucked so much when the surgery left a malunion. Now my right shoulder is slumped compared to my left 
These guys have the highest quality medical treatment available to them. HW Bush was a frickin tub of lard long after his POTUS run and died in his mid 90s. Carter beat brain cancer in his early 90s. Strom lived to 100. Barring a bullet, I expect the same from Sanders.
Speaking of broken bones, I’m in the ER right now. My mom broke her ankle.
Damn. Hope she fully recovers.
Yeah. Thanks. It’s going to be hard. It’s hard enough for her to get around when both legs are ok.
