Cornelius:
I thought in a previous step, May said she preferred a global solution, rather than just her case being solved, but perhaps I remember incorrectly.

the silent firefly:
a combination of: "yeah, like that is going to happen" and "great, so then i can be stuck with this shitty body forever and wait 6 months at a time for bureaucrats to decide when i can get a ounce of new lubricant"

a comprehensive AI socialized "medicine" system could be a dream come true or a nightmare.

Maybe #4190.  The idea was also discussed in #4200 but not by May.

What social care system anywhere has bureaucrats involved in treatment decisions? Because it sounds a lot like the made up one that was used as a strawman by the naysayers when the affordable care act was being discussed.

Also, I’m not certain “waiting for someone to say I can have something” is actually worse than “never getting anything unless someone gives it to me” – in fact they’re semantically identical; just the implied reason for the third party to fund treatment is different.

Tova:
She'll probably be angry that Roko got distracted from helping her by the promise of what she will see as an utterly unattainable goal.
