What is Single Payer Health Care?
As healthcare is consistently polling higher than any other issue in the US, discussions over single-payer health care have come to the forefront of political discourse. But what exactly is single payer healthcare, and what would its implementation look like? Single-payer health care refers to a healthcare system in which all private and public insurance coverage are replaced by one national plan administered by the federal government and funded from national sources. This would differ significantly from our current healthcare system where Medicaid and veterans Affairs benefits cover low-income patients while most people also possess employer-based private healthcare plans in addition to Medicare coverage. One prominent proposal to create a single-payer healthcare system has been proposed by Sen Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill in 2020. This single payer approach seeks to provide universal access to affordable, high-quality health care. Such systems tend to be simpler and less costly than…
Does Mexico Have Universal Health Care?
Mexico’s health system is a combination of private and public institutions. Most citizens are covered under the Mexican National Social Security Program (IMSS), an umbrella government entity funded by employer and employee contributions each month, that offers access to basic medical services including preventive visits, prescriptions, diagnostic testing as well as dental and eye care. Its offerings can also be supplemented by other private products or programs targeted specifically towards people working outside formal economies as well as by some government-backed non-government organizations. Mexico has seen significant progress with their healthcare system over the past decade. Since 2004, when new legislation mandated formal sector workers be enrolled in IMSS, over 52.6 million previously uninsured Mexicans had joined its rolls – this represents an amazing accomplishment considering Mexico is home to 100 million people, many living rural areas. Mexico has made substantial investments in training its medical professionals and expanding telemedicine…

How Do You Know When a Slot Machine Will Hit?
Slot machines provide no guaranteed way of knowing when they will hit, since spin outcomes are determined randomly rather than being dependent on previous results. While people have devised strategies they believe will increase their odds, no strategy can ever guarantee 100% accuracy. Some people hold the misconception that slot machines will hit after having been idle for an extended period, or that playing in the evening has an increased chance of paying out than during the day. Unfortunately, this belief is false as its probability remains constant regardless of when or what time you choose to play them. Many slots feature a wiggle feature that causes reels to shake slightly, leading some players to believe that whenever their reels wiggle they are about to hit big. Unfortunately this is not true: each spin is independent from one another with no correlation between time of day or whether or not…
