People without health insurance hope they don’t get sick because if they get sick they just might die.

People with health insurance hope they don’t get sick because if they get sick they just might go bankrupt.

Health insurance companies hope their customers don’t get sick because if they get sick, then they just might have to send out some lawyers to figure out how they can get out of paying for their customers’ sicknesses. And lawyers are pretty expensive (though not as expensive as getting sick).

This is a failed system. Time to start over.

3 drafts, almost 4 years later, the thing is almost done. Or at least I feel like it ought to be almost done. 180 pages out of a likely 350, and then the world starts to get in the way. Gainful employment. Bills. Landlords. Fires to put out. Battles to be waged. Obligations that surely shall be forgotten tomorrow. So many things of such little significance against the blinding light of that world in my mind and on the page, that world of robots and flying cars and monorails and spaceships to the center of the galaxy! Why doesn’t the world-the so-called real world-recognize this, and quietly step aside?
