The same congress, diff. critters, who set up commissions on which Military bases were to be closed?
The same congress, diff. critters, who gave us myriad other B.S. agencies, EPA, etc.
The dummies are us. look in the mirror - People do not show-up to vote and expect miracles from other human beings?
Typical baby-kiling RAT, accusing others of what they-themselves are doing.
Remember real brilliance comes after chaos.
Get all we can now and move on to the MAGA agenda.
We the people will rally behind Trump and change the course.
A lot will depend on the economy and whatever is happening abroad with ISIS, North Korea, and China. And he has the problem of RINOs trying to block his agenda.
And if Trump was angry, it was, IMO, more likely to have been "angry with the circumstances" or "angry with the rules" than "angry with Sessions." Plenty of things happen that merit anger, but are "just the way things are," often properly so.
I get tired of Democrats comparing apples to oranges.
The new healthcare plan is not mandatory with penalties if citizens don’t buy insurance. So yes, there could be more uninsured to begin with. However, freedom to buy across state lines and tort reform and no mandatory coverage like birth control pills will let insurers create plans that are a lot cheaper. All incentives to stimulate competition.
Texas claims they lowered insurance costs something like 60-70% because of tort reform and they have more doctors moving there. Which means insurance isn’t the real benefit, it’s healthcare by physicians and hospitals, etc.
What’s ironic is Govt “health care” puts up roadblocks to care...it’s like a wall you have to climb...the “right to health care” comes when the wall, “govt,” is removed...but of course ill educated peons don’t get it.
Sorry, I just don’t agree. I don’t feel it has to be federal. That is where we disagree.
You’re right. US agencies did wiretap Mercal. I should have remembered that.
It did in Maine and other Northeastern states, who destroyed their markets in the wake of the failed Hillarycare. This was one of the benign tenets of those changes.
And Obamacare mandated the purchase of insurance under penalty of an ever-increasing fine/tax. Obamacare was supposed to lower costs by $2,500 per family, but just the opposite has happened with higher premiums and deductibles, which reduce access to healthcare. You can't keep your doctor or hospital.
I wasn't referring to any of that.
Lots of insurance is "cafeteria style." Automobile and homeowner policies are just two examples. There are certain minimums required by the states and insurance companies, but you can buy insurance tailored to your individual needs.
It's a big nothing burger....One to three percent.
Like I said, they cancel each other out. It's good for the patients and the underwriters. Most of the free-market reforms are.
It is what patient centered healthcare is all about.
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".
>>The subsequent and insignificant premium increase of 1 to 3 percent is peanuts<<
It's been studied....to death...in Maine...every aspect of our market destruction by the RATs in 1993. Premiums went up 150 - 300%. The culprits were: Killing the High Risk Pool, and enacting "community rating"....
This made it impossible for carriers to sell "insurance". Most of them left the state.
"Mandated coverages" had nothing to do with it.
You can establish separate risk pools for various groups, even with government subsidies. It would be cheaper than throwing them all into the same group.
That would be my position, except for the government subsidy (well, only for start-up seed money) which had already happened in 31 states.
A small percentage of the public uses the lion's share of health costs.
In our case, 1% of the insured consumed 50% of the claims. Meaning that particular 1% needed to be in the HRP.
Well, then who is going to defund Obamacare...."The Russians"?
Notice that pizzagate is quiet as a cart in space
Thanks. I typed but didn’t verify my spelling.
Actually, I was correcting myself.(see my post)
It's over. Just let it go. That's how I treat traffic altercations, anyway.
No problem. I’ll take the hit or share it.
No point in asking the question, I'll simply point out that the RATagandists are outright lying to the public, when they state DJT implied Germany was spying on us, and covering up the real fact.
The answer to the unasked question would be: Because they are the opposition party, and the enemy of the American People.
Thanks very much Whenifhow. And now I am busted again for only watching half. I will go now and watch the other half.
Wow if this is even bigger than bringing in whomever,funding them giving them sss cards,passports and then making sure the UN is there as well it really a whopper!
