     @taxorubio -- Seems you're trying to qualify this situation for some end or anther...

     But how does this change the fact that this happened and it shouldn't have?

     @jeffowski As tragic and unfair as this is, the wording is misleading. He didn't just sell the prize this year and die shortly after. He died in 2018 and sold the prize in 2015, three years earlier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_M._Lederman

     @jeffowski Sigh... I don't know why I posted if I expected this exact response. No, I'm not pushing an agenda against reforing the US healthcare system. This was clear when I said "as tragic and unfair as this is". Narratives create powerful totems, and totems created on lies or half-truths are dangeours for movements.

     To summarize, I agree with the idea, the facts are not presented correctly. Do what you want with that information!

     @taxorubio -- Go back to the original meme and tell me what part of it is unfactual.

     I'll wait.

     @taxorubio @pattykimura -- LMAO... "reply guy".
     I'm going to start using that as a hashtag, since people like this guy always show up wanting attention.

     @taxorubio @jeffowski Thanks, reply guy. That was such a critical fact in this story of an elderly Nobel Prize physicist who had to hock his prize to pay for his medical care because medical care is not a human right. I get it, it wasn't sad and tragic because he didn't die the day after he sold it, he died 3 years later. It was a wonderful feel good story. How could we have missed it.

     Feel smart? Nobel Prize smart?

     @pattykimura -- He deleted and ran away, which is the best outcome we could have hoped for.
