I think we are going to find out that government agencies worked to get out the illegal vote in 2016. Just a hunch.

And a darn good one at that.

The "nonpartisan" Congressional staff and the dirtbag bureaucRATs of the Executive branch are a taxpayer funded campaign army, ready, willing and able to do the bidding of the DNC or any RAT seeking a position or elected office.

The same is true at the state level.

Maine is a small, rural state. Specifically, what exactly happened to Obamacare, i.e., the benign changes?

Actually only slightly. It's more about HSAs, and allowing the patient to choose exactly what they wish to spend their own money on, and where to spend it. It also should include allowing the patient to easily find the costs of identical procedures and pharmaceuticals at different provider locations, so they can "shop around".

What do you do with the 80 million on Medicaid? Are HSA's the answer for them or for low wage workers who really don't have that much discretionary income or the need for tax advantages? HSA's are limited in their use.

I think in 2020 the illegal alien vote will be severely diminished. I think clinton got millions of votes that way. I think we are going to find out that government agencies worked to get out the illegal vote in 2016. Just a hunch.

First, legal immigrants vote more than two to one Dem. Since 1990 over 35 million legal permanent immigrants have entered this country, 87% of them are minorities as classified by the USG. They and their children have been building the Dem base. By 2023 we will have more foreign born per capita than at any time in our history, i.e., one in 7 compared to one in 21 in 1970. By 2043 non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population down from 63% today and 89% in 1970. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. There is a reason why the Dems have won the popular vote in 6 out of the last 7 Presidential elections.

Illegal aliens may be voting illegally, but legal permanent residents (green card holders) probably are an even bigger problem. At any one time there are 15 million in this country. They have all the rights and privileges of citizens save voting. At the polls they can produce valid IDs. Most states don't require proof of citizenship when registering to vote. You just check a box saying whether you are a citizen or not.

The bottom line is that if we do not curtail LEGAL IMMIGRATION significantly from the current 1.1 million annually, the Dems will become the permanent majority party within a decade.

Since I am waiting for some visitors let me get this out of the way.....

....what about the eleven million dollars spent on my daughter, who has not a single thing wrong with her? Yeah I know it’s Muncheussen syndrome and all that but she is living proof of how the system can be fooled.

and you think she’s the only one?

Eleven freaking million dollars spent on one who has single-handedly emotionally wrecked three people’s lives while the government gives out restraining orders willy nilly to protect, insert big yuck here....HER!

My point being....there’s so very much waste going on, so very much waste.

Another example....happened to me...

Got a stent put in my leg to allow better blood flow. Doc made me spend the night to “observe” or whatever. Everything went just fine.

But sometime during that 24 hour period I got an irritation where the stent was inserted. Also, I was not allowed to bring my medicines with me so the hospital had to give me my daily cholesterol pill, the this pill and the that pill. Even though I already had these pills, plenty of them, at home.

My health care provider, Cigna, paid the bill except for my deductible of $300. No problem I paid write up.

So the hospital sends me a bill for $141.00 beyond my deductible and what Cigna paid.

I call and ask.

Turns out, get this, they charged me SEVENTY SIX DOLLARS for some kind of medicated powder for that small irritation, plus about forty plus bucks for the medicines they gave me that I already had.

Hospital told me I would have to apply to my Part D provider to get reimbursed for the drugs.

First...SEVENTY SIX DOLLARS for three ounces of medicated talc? Twenty five bucks for this pill, eight bucks for that pill.

It took a while but I finally got Cigna, which is also my Part D provider and Cigna reduced that SEVENTY SIX BUCK charge down to $9.45.

What the hell was that hospital thinking? Were they trying to rip me off? I’d called about twenty people to try and straighten this all out so it’s not like a bunch of people saw that absurd charge.

In the end I paid $11.75 for charges I’d originally been charged $145.00 and change.

Not only is the system a mess, they rob you.

In Maryland, another judge, (Judge Theodore Chuang), has issued an injunction, once again confusing its authority on such matters and ignoring the Constitution and relevant statutes on presidential authority in such matters.




This judge has a long history of behaving as a Democratic operative and was confirmed only when then-senator Reid suspended the filibuster for judicial nominees. His order has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

REMEDIES!
Congress and the president can consider other options as well -- including stripping federal courts of jurisdiction over immigration.

Even then with it curtailed with the mad muzzies and the mexicons all having mega births per family and we have one or two its not going to take long to outvote us even legally.
of course if the espanolers learn that the muzzies consider them infidels as well and want to take their jobs and kill them there might be a little bit of “change”, who knows.

Excellent idea onyx.We need our elected reps to do something rather than contemplate a flawed healthcare bill for seven years.

Maine is a small, rural state.

It is, and consequently easy for some big city dirtbag to waltz in here and really screw things up...like legalizing pot, bear baiting and gun control.

As a microcosm laboratory, with only 1.5 million population, it's also pretty easy to crunch the numbers. With their handiwork, the Hillarybots wreaked horrible damage on the already poverty-line population.

Specifically, what exactly happened to Obamacare, i.e., the benign changes?

?

This all happened way before Obamacare. But we also have an analogous failed experiment to that....The wonderful Dirigo Health Plan!

It was to be administered by the private sector (Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield) and was intended to cover all the uninsured....many of whom lost their coverage due to the market destruction of 1993.

It also collapsed of its own weight and, in its death throes, was subsequently put out of its misery by the Republicans.

What do you do with the 80 million on Medicaid? Are HSA's the answer for them or for low wage workers who really don't have that much discretionary income or the need for tax advantages? HSA's are limited in their use.

Actually, I sort of covered that in an earlier post. "Medicaid" is generally administered by the states and is repackaged with a different name in every case. (ours is MaineCare)

I would want it privatized, block grants, sliding scale premiums (subsidy based on income) with unsubsidized premiums being equal to the regular market....but the benefits not quite as good. (to push them into regular affordable coverage) Everybody pays some level of co-pay.

Only the truly needy would get the fully subsidized premium, unlike now, where we have working people using the medical-welfare benefits.

One more advantage I didn't mention is; the providers would now be compensated at market rates instead of the pittance paid by MediCaid. As a result, "cost-shifting" would be reduce (hopefully the practice will be banned by Commissioner Price)

HSAs are the ultimate in patient involvement, but are not for everybody. I expect $250 to $500 deductible to make a big comeback.

Thank you Pat.....just watched Mick Mulvaney on MTP. He was fantastic. Talk about being focused and able to deflect the stupid questions! He is from my state and known as a budget hawk.

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/03/diseased-refugees-obtaining-ssns-and-passports-upon-arrival-in-us/ Gateway has it now.
I see now why it was important to watch it to the end. Here is the end game.

In sanctuary cities such as LA,Miami, NYC elsewhere,in MO.St..Louis with “no sheriff”it is legal for the UN to come in and basically try and take over. Suspend US rights and do their best to take over.

With refugee status which means they are here due to a problem with religious prosecution,war in their area or a natural disaster,they qualify as refugees and the UN can come in to the area to basically take over.

1,200 in the St.Louis area just from 2017 no telling how many are there.

So the goal of US NWO/cabal types is to have counties,cities with no sheriff, high numbers of foreign individuals, declared to be refugees so they can complete their agenda 21 goals which are now called agenda 2030.The goal which is to have open borders by 2030 and have a one world govt. which is the ultimate goal.

All we have to do is elect the wrong people,especially at higher levels, don’t pay attention and they will do the rest. Scary at best.

It's called "cost-shifting" It's unethical and the practice should be banned outright.

Good point. We do need to curtail all immigration absolutely. And yes I forgot to include green card holders who voted illegally etc.
