Truth be told, RM is far from average US.
Its wealthier, far, far more educated and intelligent and way less emotional.
Smart people tend to grossly overestimate the average person and being rational isnt superior.
I remember when I worked for Mercedes and they hired a management coach for me. She told me "you are very rational" after a few sessions. It took me years to understand it wasnt a compliment.
The year is 2029, we elect President Hawk Tuah every 6 months. Elon Musk was shot by ANTIFA, but we managed to save his brain and it now runs NORAD and Facebook. Omni Consumer Products is in charge of Homeland Security and Border Patrol. Cash currency has been replaced with ammo. All schools are now military installations.

A UCLA student is suing multiple California health care providers and hospitals for medical negligence, alleging she was wrongly diagnosed with gender dysphoria and then “fast-tracked onto the conveyor belt of irreversibly damaging” puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery, according to...

Inside the Company Helping America’s Biggest Health Insurers Deny Coverage for Treatments
When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients.

"Frustration with the rules has led some doctors to refer to the company as EvilCore."

Just out of morbid curiosity, what was the deceased’s net worth ?
Couldn't say without looking it up, but if memory serves his annual compensation was north of 10 million a year. One can extrapolate from there.
Column: Here's one key reform that can fix U.S. healthcare
For decades, healthcare experts said giving patients 'skin in the game' through deductibles and co-pays yields better results. Now they admit they were wrong.

Then:
Einav and Finkelstein, professors at Stanford and MIT, respectively, spent years teaching that unless patients had skin in the game—that is, unless they had to shell out for each medical appointment—they would “rush to the doctor every time they sneeze,”
Now:
“We take it back,” Liran Einav and Amy Finkelstein, two of America’s most prominent health economists, declare in a new book, We’ve Got You Covered, their blueprint for reforming our health care system. After years of preaching “the gospel” that “patients must pay something for their care,” they’ve now abandoned the message.

"Still, it’s the installation of cost-sharing as a medical management tool that harms people day in and day out. That the tool has never fulfilled its promise doesn’t seem to faze policymakers. On the surface, after all, it should work, shouldn’t it?"

There is a free non-ER healthcare center near me. Zero cost to see a family doctor and wait times of about 1 hour. People dont rush to the dr every time they sneeze. Like, they got shit to do too.
