Leon Lederman, an experimental physicist who studied subatomic particles, has died at 96 after selling his Nobel Prize for $765,000 at an auction to help pay medical bills. https://t.co/WOZfqlPgjh— AP West Region (@APWestRegion) October 3, 2018
Thank God we don't have socialized medicine, right, Ted Cruz? I mean, socialized medicine would have killed Stephen Hawking, right?
“I wouldn’t be here today if it were not for the NHS,” Hawking told the Guardian at the time. “I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived.”
Yeah, well, he never had a Nobel Prize he had to hock to pay for nursing care, so: America! Phuck yeah!
