Dave Colton | On the subject of universal health care, I’m fed up with stupid (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I have gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate the phrase, “I don’t suffer fools gladly,” which means having little patience for people who are foolish, ignorant or incompetent. To be fair, I’m going to begin with myself. In my last post, I criticized Democrats for advocating for universal health care but not having a concrete plan for it. I subsequently had to make a correction because as I was doing some research right after I posted that article, I found out that Democrats in the Senate and
Why don’t we already have universal healthcare? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some anthropologists believe that competitive sports grew out of a need to channel aggression without killing the opponent. It also may have had an evolutionary purpose as the genes of the fittest members of a tribe could be passed onto to the next generation. If fandom of the NBA Playoffs, Super Bowl, World Series, and most recently for the U.S., the World Cup, are any indication, interest in competitive sports has not waned. And this season begins another competition, political elections, base
David Colton | The truth about wait times in countries with universal healthcare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
About a year and half ago, I went to my primary care physician to see what could be done about knee pain. I was thinking that a cortisone shot might be in order.

She told me that I had knee osteoarthritis, which is common in people my age, but that it was not advanced. She recommended over the counter pain medi
Universal healthcare is not free healthcare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I typically scroll through Facebook to see if there are postings or reels of interest. If universal healthcare is the topic, I usually respond, in part to market my book and link my UHC Facebook page, and in part to write a correction if I believe the information is inaccurate. Today I saw a posting that really riled me. It was a world map showing countries with UHC, and of course the U.S. was one of the few countries in the world without some form of universal coverage. What irritated me was th
Who are the real communists? Republicans are describing themselves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a recent AFP op-ed, Yvonne Surette noted that congressmen Ben Cline is labeling Democrats as communists (Why is Ben Cline so fixated on communists? July 28, 2026). That may be a positive sign for his Sixth District opponent, Beth Macy, as Republicans typically resort to this branding when they are worried. As Surette points out, Cline is just following the lead of his lord and master, Donald Trump, who often calls Democrats communists and Marxists – all in one sentence. That’s because, althou
