THE ESSENTIAL REVOLVER NEWS JANUARY 6 READING LIST

About the insurance companies, that’s what I was thinking about the other night. Either the government will have to bail them out or the truth should come out, one way or the other (free market?)
Did you see this?? How convenient!!

Breaking: Pfizer to acquire Arena Pharmaceuticals a company that specializes for cardiovascular issues and autoimmune disorders.
“What an excellent acquisition. Some would call it ‘timely,’ even.”
Very convenient. And how many congresscritters invested in this because, as Nancy says, it’s a free market.
CDC Director Sheepishly Admits Justice Sotomayor Issued COVID Misinformation On Hospitalized Kids
Hilariously, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky was asked by Fox News’ Bret Baier to refute Sotomayor’s ‘100,000 children’ claim.
And instead of simply acknowledging it was incorrect and moving on, Walensky mega-pivots to blaming the unvaccinated.
“Yeah, but, you know, here’s what I can tell you about our pediatric hospitalizations, now” Rochelle said. “First of all, the vast majority of children that are in the hospital are unvaccinated. And for those children who are not eligible for vaccination, we do know that they are most likely to get sick with Covid if their family members are not vaccinated. So, the most important thing we can do for those children to keep them out of the hospital is to vaccinate them and vaccinate their family members.”
Baier then brought Walensky back to the original question about Sotomayor’s disinformation, to which she answered: “yes... and in fact what I will say is that while pediatric hospitalizations are rising, they’re still about 15x less than our older age demographic.”

HIGH PRICE Some Cola social security recipients furious as Medicare costs ‘surge in 2022 and WIPE OUT’ $1,657 bonus

SOME COLA social security recipients are furious, claiming Medicare costs are “surging” in 2022 and will “wipe out” their adjusted monthly payments.

The rise in payments means a retired worker will now see, on average, their monthly check increase from $1,565 to $1,657 a month.
However, some retirees don’t think the pay bump will cut it when inflation and the rising cost of Medicare is taken into account.
“Found out a couple of days ago That the cost of Medicare will go up about $40 a month in 2022,” one user wrote on Twitter.
“That pretty much wipes out that COLA increase. And I thought the cost of food and gas was to get it all.”
Medicare’s Part B monthly premium for 2022 will increase from $148.50 to $170.10.
The $21.60 jump is the largest price hike in the program’s history.
Part B covers doctor visits and other outpatient services like screening.
At the time when the price hike was announced, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) officials stressed that the 14.5 per cent increase would be covered by this year’s COLA for social security beneficiaries.

However, not everyone agrees that retirees and others on social security are getting a fair deal.
“Once again, American seniors and taxpayers will pay the price for the outrageous pricing behavior of big drug companies,” said Bill Sweeney, AARP senior vice president for government affairs.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services did not immediately return The Sun’s request for comment on this story.

This article spells it all out.
How can the government continue this?
The SC better find the you know whats to shut this all down!
The entire sham is so overwhelmingly disgusting!
Who, in DC, is NOT in on this ScamDEMic/$hot take???
Just sickening, isn’t it?
Where are the Pubs, lined up, 24/7 with the likes of MTG, Sen Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, etc., screaming the FACTS about these $hots?
The SC shouldn’t have a single issue with shutting down FJBs $ham mandates, at all.
Thanks great information.
Been getting some R&R on my days off.
I’m still around to check in. :)

This administration sure seems to hate elderly folks.
The keep jabbing them...first in nursing homes, then, in the arm, now in their skinny wallets.
😢
I just had this conversation with my Mother.
