Medicare isn't here to make you healthy, its just another conduit for private healthcare to suck as much money out of the system as possible.

Fair question. They would put the money somewhere else. Doesn't mean they would get similar returns, but in this case they aint getting the returns they thought anyways. All that matters is entry point and exit point, right now they are going to be using the wrong exit point

I mean this is the Silicon Valley playbook. Get raised by some ultra connected family. Start a company, get money from your family then get pictures on Inc mag as some self made genius founder.

That’s the point. Jury is a bunch of regular people. I think it’s actually pretty cool because otherwise decisions are based on “legal mumbo jumbo” that no “normal” person would ever be able to understand.
