FoxConn says robots will build Apple’s new iPhone, so burger flippers can’t be far behind.

I think they use robotic surgery on prostate cancer already.

Thanks for the link. It is a poor (horrible) headline. The proper headline should be something like “New drugs being tested for dementia fail in early testing”. The old standbys still work the same as they ever did.

We just found out that under Obamacare when you go to your Doctor for your annual check up and you’re on Medicare and discuss your prescriptions there will be a charge for that. My wife got a $22.00 tacked on to her bill for just that.

It’s all about the power and control, and then comes the money. This is a dictator’s dream.

I know a woman who was all in for obamacare because “Too many people are going to the emergency room.” I wonder what the beee-atch is saying now.

Wait til the deductibles kick in. I was reading an analysis of the premiums, deductibles, co-pays and they reported that the minimum out-of-pocket was something like 12,000 a year. The platinum has far lower deductibles (2000 range), but far higher monthly premiums. The bronze has much lower premiums but outrageous deductibles.
