ribble··on Economic Analysis of Medicare for All
that "ten percent less" of a payment is no longer being paid by particular patients, it's being paid by everyone.

that's like saying, "chris wasn't sick, but don't worry, though 50% of his salary is now gone so everyone has healthcare, he's paying 10% less."

ribble··on Economic Analysis of Medicare for All
| Medicare for All could reduce total health care spending in the U.S. by nearly 10 percent, to $2.93 trillion, while creating stable access to good care for all U.S. residents.

how? by taxing a few earners to pay for everyone else not earning. is that fair? in that light, a ten percent reduction in cost is meaningless.

pilot wave theory, the force is able to push upon itself despite lack of medium to otherwise push upon.
ribble··on EmDrive study officially published
this article includes a grey body that the force is acting upon.

the difference with the EM drive's method of propulsion is, that while the article you posted describes a force reacting upon an external, "grey body," as is acceptable with the copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, the EM drive force exhibits a characteristic betrayed by a theoretical pilot wave, which indicates a non-copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, but rather a bohmann version of quantum mechanics, in which the force can act upon itself.

run-on sentence alert.
