A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

so...why are there two separate elected houses again?
There are two separate elected houses as part of a compromise reached between states with larger populations and smaller populations when the country was founded. Smaller states didn't want to join a union with the other ones if it meant that they would be politically powerless and the larger states wanted to have their majority mean something.
There were other compromises too but they were less popular in retrospect.
OOhhhh so the house of representatives is relative to the population but the senate is two per state?
Correct.
dumb
holy crap you guys this is basic constitutional history shit (not that foreigners would know this)
the office of a Senator wasn't a publicly elected office until 1913
the point at the beginning was that the state legislatures would chose their senators, insulating them somewhat from public opinion and allowing them both to balance the power of the larger states over the smaller (to make sure the slavery issue didn't come up immediately) and to act more independently and on their own judgment rather than being electioneering whores
of course the state legislatures were corrupt as well and left loads of vacancies or picked total douchenozzles to represent the state
for some reason it was decided that the cure to having assholes in the Senate would be to make them go on campaign trips across the state every six years
so now we have two representative houses of congress and one of them gives more power to smaller states and who's original purpose was to stall decision on an issue that's been settled for nearly 200 years. there are several other structural differences between the two houses that are predicated on one of them being nominated by theoretically intelligent and sober state legislatures rather than the generally less informed and self-interested public electorate, and are therefore near meaningless in the wake of the 17th amendment.
edit: of course, many of the people putting the document together in the first place thought we were just going to sit down and write a new one every couple decades, so they can't be blamed for having failed to predict what a mess we'd make of it
Assuming that the people who need to pay for PHI can afford it in MA (as in it's reasonably above the poverty line) how is that a bad thing teefs?
it's in private insurers best interests to avoid paying out as much as they possibly can
I can only refer to my experiences in Australia but in that case can't they then be handed off to the state system? Or alternatively regulations to ensure some type of minimum cover.
Or even the basic read the damn contract before you sign it?

I only briefly visit there on rare occasion. When it gets to things that should have debate, there's too little debate and too much discourse. I try to limit to the sports threads at least and track them through subscriptions.
