Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I wish you good health, Steve! You are an amazing human.
WTF why Mexico City. You think as a billionaire he have himself flown to America?
I hope he pulls through.
Rich talk from a person from a country that is known for hitting up Mexico for affordable healthcare.
Last I checked the USA spends more per capita on healthcare and has worse results on the measures that matter.
It’s a little more nuanced than that. One of the biggest issues is access, not necessarily the quality of the care itself. But when you’re poor and don’t get care, the data looks pretty shitty. If you were to look only at the people with access (or wealthy people in particular), the USA actually looks pretty good. Of course, that’s meaningless for population health and only relevant for individuals.
I could write like 3 pages about why it’s expensive on top just the broken insurance system.
Plenty of rich people in the US go elsewhere for procedures. But also, plenty of people come to the US for the same. My friend is an ECMO specialist and did his thing (sticking huge tubes into people's arteries) on a few Saudi Arabian princes. No idea what the procedure itself was, though.
(I'm agreeing with you on the nuance, by the way)
The US has some of the best healthcare, doctors, surgeons in the world if you can afford it and that last part is important, but not to people as wealthy as woz. He most likely needed immediate care, which is concerning
The first two sentences of the article literally answer your question.
You don't even need to click on it. The little preview gives you that info.
Yes but which event? And which country's capital? And who is Steve Wozniak? The mysteries abound. We may never know the truth.
You'd have to click the article to see what event. But he was at an event in mexico city. They're not going to tell you every single detail in the 2 sentence preview
That comment is sarcasm, implying that you can learn more by reading the article.
He was already in Mexico City for the World Business Forum, they wouldn't waste time flying him to Dallas or San Diego when he's already in a large city with hospitals.
Douchy comment of the day award goes to you
Wozniak is not a billionaire
Right? As if any of those primitive brown people would know shit about the medical sciences?
(/s - is this needed on lemmy?)
