I take it that you didn't make it to the 1:40 mark until the end of the video.

I take it you didn't get the point.

1. I never claimed I was a genius.
2. I never claimed that you were lowly.

Try again.

The point is the waiting times. Up to a year to get a knee replacement
or other "non-essential" surgeries? Rsfck that. I had a knee
replacement and 2 carpal tunnel surgeries last year and they were all
done within 2 weeks of the decision to do them.

...and?

Healthcare in the US is 'publicly funded as well.' I'm not sure of
the point the author is trying to make. Rand Paul went to the best
available doctor for his surgery? Why is that news?

“It just beggars belief that the same liberals who fret about ‘micro-aggressions’ for 20-somethings were able to see 16-year-olds absorbing the worst racist garbage from religious bigots… and then express the desire to punch the kids in the face. How did this grotesque inversion of the truth become the central narrative for what seemed to be the entire class of elite journalists on Twitter?”

I'm sure knee-replacement surgery has its strata too -- from "needs immediately due to excruciating pain" to "the natural knee joint is a mild discomfort" and then everything in between.

My insurance wouldn't cover my knee until we jumped through a few hoops
with other treatments, so mild discomfort wouldn't get it here. In
retrospect, the knee took 3 weeks.

Here's an anecdotal. One of the nurses where I worked met a Canadian on
vacation in Florida. The Canadian lived in Nova Scotia. When she
needed a hip replacement she was told that it was available to her in
British Columbia. No provision for her husband being thousands of miles
away. This was about 20 years ago, so maybe they've fixed it. Hip
replacement was a lot bigger deal that long ago, too.

Ken, how long between when the Dr decided you needed
It, and the OK by the insurance company, ie how long did all the hoop jumping take?

Hip replacement surgery caused my mother's death 31 Mar 1977.

I was supposed to have my first one done this morning, but I have a cough I haven't been able to shake, so yesterday we postponed it a couple weeks. I hope to post video of the procedure right here on this here page when completed.

Rand Paul went to a private hospital in Canada.

Ain’t freedom great?!!!!

Paul, a capitalist, was allowed to spend HIS money wherever he chose.
