1. Free universal healthcare
2. A magic wand that instantly gives everyone sharp critical thinking skills

Which would you choose—and why?

1. Free Healthcare:
Pros

• Immediate relief for millions
• Less financial strain on families
• Increased life expectancy
• Greater workforce productivity
• Moral victory: no one dies because they’re poor

Cons 

• Doesn’t fix poor decision-making or misinformation
• Can be mismanaged without a thoughtful populace
• May require high taxes or systemic overhaul
• Treats symptoms of a deeper societal issue  

2. Critical Thinking
Pros 

• People learn to analyze, question, and reason
• Better voters, leaders, and policies
• Science, medicine, and ethics advance more rapidly
• Reduces susceptibility to propaganda and fear-mongering
• Empathy often follows clarity of thoug

Cons 

• Solutions take longer—thinking is not a quick fix
• Healthcare still remains broken in the short term
• Can lead to disagreement before consensus
• Harder to measure impact immediately

My pick?           
Critical thinking.

• Because a nation of clear, discerning minds would build better healthcare—along with better everything else.What good is free healthcare if society can’t think clearly about how to sustain it?

 

    Man, what a waste of a perfectly good magic wand!

Now Healthcare so "messed" up such a "Trainwreck" with private insurance co-payers & bankruptcies even the Republicans another decade or so will be supporting a "Federal Plan" get the Votes.

Now "Critical" Thinking thats alot tougher.

Look around pal roughly half the population spends most their waking hours tapping on a phone or computer.

Kids today dont go out ride bicycles play softball they in their house playing with a phone.

Their parents also sitting there playing on a phone too.

Kids aint getting that outta the house basic life skill you & I had.

Remember back in the day it was "Nice" outside & ya folks told ya go outside ya playing Nintendo all day either
