I would say you should be free to make the decision to forego the advantages working though a middle man affords you, if you would prefer the savings. That said, there’s consumer protection, quality certification (important for insurance purposes), returns, after sales care and I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff. Nothing to do with differences in the product itself, more so the guarantee of a product that does what it says on the tin.

One of the reasons I hear for these draconian, inhumane laws is that we should be having more children to sustain the (subtext: white) population. I just only just realized they will do the exact opposite.

Poor woman. What a tragedy.

Oh, you mean when you involve a profit motive in health care, providers will act accordingly at the expense of the patient? Get the fuck out of here! No way! Next you'll tell me when you introduce middlemen into the system they will also abuse their customers to benefit themselves!

Battery swelling caused the display to detach or crack, exposing the user to sharp fragments. Buried a couple paragraphs in, behind terms of use. Thought I’d save you a click.

Oh yeah great because survival as a species is less important than half a point on the Dow next quarter. We’re fucking doomed, I’m gonna give up and I’ll be glad we chose not to have children.

I’ve never thought about it like that, but you raise an interesting point. From the point of view of patients insurance is an inextricable part of health care. I’m not so sure you can separate them that easily. Even in Western Europe the trend is towards privatization so when something happens to me health wise my first concern is insurance, never mind the actual problem. It’s a tragedy. Let’s just go back to setting up a mandatory fund and paying out from that without the profit seeking middlemen. We don’t need them.

There’s also Proxmox, we use that in a DC with around 20 nodes and around 120 VM’s. Been solid so far, we started migrating after the Broadcom announcement.

I think the movie projector DRM is such that theaters have to pay for every showing so probably prohibitively expensive.
