I remember the call from my husband on May 31. It
was our anniversary, and he was out running errands before he came home—not because we had plans, but because there was a curfew in place in Minneapolis. He called to tell me he had to drive to a nearby suburb to pick up a medical prescription. "Our Walgreens on Hennepin Avenue isn't there anymore," he said. "It was burned to the ground." Over the spring and summer of 2020, thousands of businesses were looted, damaged, or totally destroyed during the George Floyd protests—especially here, where Floyd was killed. Every...

Leftists care nothing about 'facts' on climate. They care only about power(NOT BREAKING!)

Very few people would guess this fact, considering that every day we are bombarded with talking points about the existential threat of climate change caused by humans and oil. Every
time we get a major storm, a flood, a drought, or fires, we are told the lie that it is the worst it has ever been as they push the agenda for more government control and to stop using oil.

Ebola Docs and Nurses Care About Africans, Don’t Care About Americans

We’re told ad nauseam that the medical personnel who go to Africa are heroes. And
that’s fine. I have no objection to them doing their humanitarian thing and then writing a bestselling book about it.But now that Madam Ebola is in town, it’s hard to miss the fact that these people might care about Africans, but they certainly don’t care about Americans. The city’s first Ebola patient initially lied to authorities about his travels around the city following his return from treating disease victims in Africa, law-enforcement sources said.Dr. Craig Spencer at first told officials that he isolated himself in...

Joe Biden to propose $775 billion child care, elder care plan, funded largely by wealthy real estate investors

Yahoo News ^
| 07/21/2020 | Peter Weber
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will unveil a sweeping proposal Tuesday to help families pay for child care for children 4 and under, in-home elder care for aging parents, and long-term care for the disabled. The
plan, estimated to cost $775 billion over 10 years, would also fund 150,000 public health care worker jobs. "If we truly want to reward work in this country, we have to ease the financial burden of care that families are carrying, and we have to elevate the compensation, benefits, training, and education opportunities for certification, and dignity of caregiving workers and educators," Biden's...

4 REASONS WHY GOP’S HEALTH CARE PLAN IS REALLY RINO-CARE
|
| |
Conservative Review ^
| 03/01/2017 | Daniel Horowitz
If Republicans were trying to illustrate Reagan’s complaint about pale pastel differences between the two major parties, they couldn’t have done a better job concocting their health care plan. Otherwise,
the draft of the GOP plan leaked to Politico would be an utter disaster — both from a policy and political standpoint. The sum of the GOP plan is to take everything that is bad about Obamacare — taxes, regulations, subsidies, and mandates — and leave the critical structure in place, albeit with some policy tweaks around the edges. Worse, even those tweaks don’t occur for another three years. Thus,...

Gallup: Voters Don't Care Very Much About Issues Liberals Care About a Lot

| 07/23/2018 | Rick Moran
Gallup has released a poll of the most important issues facing the country. It
was taken earlier this month and, in what must be a terrible surprise to liberals, no one even mentioned climate change or "the situation with Russia."Regarding economic problems, there is little concern about inflation (good for Republicans) and there isn't much worry about the "gap between rich and poor" (bad for Democrats).On non-economic problems, more bad news for Democrats. Not only is there no mention by voters of climate change and Russia, but worry about immigration/illegal aliens tops the list.Liberals have been harping on health...

Cher: Los Angeles ‘Can’t Take Care of Its Own, How Can It Take Care of’ More Immigrants

| 4-15-2019 | John Binder
Pop icon Cher said Sunday that Los Angeles, California, “can’t take care of its own” residents, much less newly arrived illegal and legal immigrants. Cher
said she failed to understand how the city of Los Angeles in the sanctuary state of California could afford to admit and take care of any more immigrants when city officials have failed to care for homeless, veterans, and poverty-stricken Americans. “I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants,but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN.WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY?

State of American Health Care: Once the envy of the world, American medical care continues to be infected with Leftist woke ideology
|

American Thinker ^
| 03/20/2024 | Eileen F. Toplansky
Once the envy of the world, American medical care continues to be infected with Leftist woke ideology with abysmal and terrifying outcomes. Under
the term “health equity” the only parameter that matters appears to be a person’s melanin level, not his need for timely medical treatment. Consequently: More than 10 million nonblack Americans with chronic kidney disease may have seen their treatments or transplants delayed because of policy changes enacted after 2020. Some of those patients now face greater risk of death because national transplant organizations have embraced racial activism.Patients of all races deserve a formula that accurately estimates their...

Ben Carson's “Fairly Radical” 1996 Health Care Plan: Argued for gov't-run catastrophic health care
|

BuzzFeed ^
| 01/23/2015 | Andrew Kaczynski
Nearly 20 years ago, Carson argued for government-run catastrophic health care and “national guidelines” on how and when the very ill should be treated. Carson
himself calls his proposals “fairly radical.†In 1996, Dr. Ben Carson, now a conservative favorite and potential presidential candidate, wrote a paper outlining his vision for U.S. health care. Some of his proposals: nationalized catastrophic care, essentially replacing Medicaid with health care food stamps, and “national guidelines” about when the elderly and terminally ill should receive care. By implementing government-run catastrophic health care, Carson argued, the price of premiums would go down so much...

The other looming health crisis: Americans' lack of dental care - (National Dental Care drumbeat)

Two years. That's how long low-income children must wait for procedures that require general anesthesia at the pediatric dental clinic at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. "We have babies come to us who already have a mouthful of decay," said Marcio da Fonseca, who heads UIC's department of
pediatric dentistry and oversees the clinic. "It's the result of a combination of poor diet, poor oral hygiene, poor parental education and a lack of access to routine care." The problem cases go on a waiting list for treatment under general anesthesia that's more than 800 names long....

If you care about California, care about Salinas

San Francisco Chronicle ^
| July 29, 2015 | Joe Mathews
Do you worry about the future of California? Then you should worry about Salinas. Because if the Monterey County city of 155,000 can’t build itself a brighter future, then it’s hard to imagine other struggling places doing the same. “Rich
in land. Rich in Values. Ripe With Opportunity,” reads the slogan on a city website, and that’s no exaggeration. Salinas might be the richest poor city in California.

If you’re reading this and you’re black, I don’t care. Yellow

Basically, if you’re reading this, while I certainly appreciate your doing so, I don’t care about all of those things about you over which you have no control… and that includes whether you’re a man or a woman, incidentally, a duality that is not changeable. Why? Do I hate minorities or people different than me? No. I don’t care because none of those things make you special. No...

U.S. government spent more on health care in 2022 than six countries with universal health care combined
|

STAT Reports ^
| Dec. 19, 2023 | Annalisa Merelli
American taxpayers footed the bill for at least $1.8 trillion in federal and state health care expenditures in 2022 — about 41% of the nearly $4.5 trillion in both public and private health care spending the U.S. recorded last year, according to the annual report released last week by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services. On top of that $1.8 trillion, third-party programs, which are often government-funded, and public health programs accounted for another $600 billion in spending. This means the U.S. government spent more on health care last year than the governments of Germany, the U.K., Italy, Spain,...

Affordable Care Act Hasn’t Made Health Care Affordable, Study Finds
|
| |
Yahoo News ^
| 12/30/15 | Millie Dent - The Fiscal Times
Despite its name, the primary goal of the Affordable Care Act was to expand health care coverage to millions of Americans who had been uninsured. And
while it's done that - 15 million non-elderly adults have gained coverage - making that insurance "affordable" remains a significant challenge. Government subsidies for enrollees with incomes below 400 percent of the federal poverty level were designed to help with that, but rising premiums and high deductibles mean that getting health care coverage and treatment remains a financial burden for many Americans. A new study from the Urban Institute shows just how high the...

Obama's "Affordable Health Care" Making health care unaffordable.

As the New York Times explains, Patricia Wanderlich got insurance through the Affordable Care Act this year, and with good reason: She suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2011, spending weeks in a hospital intensive care unit, and has a second, smaller aneurysm that needs monitoring. But
her new plan has a $6,000 annual deductible, meaning that Ms. Wanderlich, who works part time at a landscaping company outside Chicago, has to pay for most of her medical services up to that amount. She is skipping this year’s brain scan and hoping for the best. “To spend thousands of dollars just making...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was recorded without a mask in a densely packed bar in Miami, according to footage that emerged Sunday. The large crowd at the drag bar, most of whom were also without a mask, applauded the congresswoman as she waved to them, as first reported by Florida's Conservative Voice.
"For those of you with zero sense of humor: the whole point of this post is to expose hypocrisy. We don’t actually care she’s maskless. We care she fear mongers about Florida but then has the audacity to vacation here," wrote Brendon Leslie, the reporter who first tweeted...
