  Model what works elsewhere and do more of this, to reduce wait times and costs and more good wage and secure jobs:

  A study of 39 countries found that 69% have implemented “task shifting” from physicians to nurses or other advanced practitioners. Most developed health systems already do this to some degree. The U.S. is actually unusual in how much it restricts NP/PA scope of practice at the state level.

  It’s also shown when people have enough, crime goes down, quality of life goes up, artificial scarcity anxiety goes down. Hmm, so then the for-profit prisons won’t be full and workers will have more bandwidth to question why they don’t get more of the pie, like people in other wealthy countries do, more stable and wouldn’t ever accept the downgrade to system usa.

  More info: The “frazzled” state you describe is literally chronic cortisol dysregulation — the body’s stress response stuck on. Research confirms this drives insulin resistance, visceral fat accumulation, arterial stiffness, immune suppression, gut dysbiosis, and prefrontal cortex damage (impaired planning, impulse control). When someone says “I just can’t get my health together,” the framework gives them a different explanation: you’re running a fight-or-flight response 16 hours a day because the system is designed to keep you in survival mode. That reframe reduces shame and opens the door to action.

  Hoarding wasn’t allowed at one time, in <150 person groups, then came the ever increasing wealth and power inequalities, and the supernatural stories to justify their power, justify the suffering now for later reward and easier than brute force. It’s the same systems and people protecting their wealth and keep the majority in artificial scarcity, so they feel frazzled and not much time to ponder these truths, and decide how they want to go forward, keep the indoctrination of the systems or pull back the curtain?

  All the sheep spouted,

  “The best country in the world”,

  And they believed it

  Despite this massive investment, the U.S. ranks last overall in health system performance when compared to nine other high-income nations.

  Healthcare has gotten worse under maga, along with democracy/freedom/quality measures. Look up the data. The same patterns are visible in other failing countries like Russia, Argentina, and in history too we can see it, yet they say they need to be more strict to fix the problems their bad ways created. High-control systems are the wrong answer if we want healthy progress for humanity first. The wealthy/powerful have benefitted from the systems for so long, if you really look at history, when the wealth/power inequality began, along with supernatural excuses they invented to keep the power.
