I don't think Obama really likes Hillary. In fact, I think she has been annoying to him for years. Maybe, secretly he is going to take her down and let Bernie and Elizabeth take on the Abominable Donald.Quote:

So we couldn't mandate a more progressive union fee arrangement to cover employees exercising their right to not join a union?Quote:

So, you want to do away with the ACA?Quote:

One had a paid for home that they had to keep taking equity out of it to pay their share of medical bills. eventually they lost the house. Due to both spouses having cancer, etc they lost everything and did nothing wrong. When he died they had 5k left for a lifetime of hard work.
It sounds like you think the taxpayers should have picked up all of their costs so that they could leave (as example) $150,000 in their estate.Quote:

But many households CAN afford it and should cut back on spending and save something toward medical costs. Pretending that all medical products and services should be free is part of the mindset that gets these middle class households into teouble. They've got plenty of income to save up $6,000 but a cacouynf political voices (cough cough Bernie) tells them it aint rights, it otta be free.
But of course its not enough, its never enough, Im not,sure what "enough" even looks like
This post was hilarious.Quote:

It looks like ordinary people being able to pay for their health care without financial ruin. It means health care without a thick layer of fat (profit) between doctor and patient. Surely you're old enough to remember what that was like.Quote:

Jane, ordinary people CAN pay for their health care without financial ruin accordng to the mandated ceilings of the ACA.Quote:

$6000 is mucho diniero for the workin' man.
I disagree with having insurance companies dictate health care and health care costs. This differentiates me from the President. I believe in a single payer system paid for with tax monies.
ETA: $6000 is more money than I have run up in my entire lifetime of medical visits. So yes, I think that is a wildly inflated yearly cost.
You disagree with the Pres?Quote:

IL: I don't care if they had any $ to leave to their estate. What happened is the wife is still alive with Alzheimer's and I had to find her a place to live that only costs 1850/month that is not a rat infested shit hole. Which meant I had to put her an hour away from me. No one else is willing to drive that far so we are the only visitors she has. If we could have put her in town her life would be better. If she had some of that $ to last at least 6 months then once it is gone Medicaid would have picked up the difference. But you can't go into a home on it here. Her DH was a veteran of Vietnam-injured severely and in hospital for a year. Agent orange caused his rare cancer. If he would have won he would have had $ for her but he lost. Now he is dead and the military automatically appeals it and get this even if she dies they will keep appealing until the appeals run out. The only ones that can receive the $ are kids under 18. HIs kids are in their 40's. What a waste of money that can't be stopped because I asked. I also had a copy of all his records since he was disabled by the military although he worked until about 9 months before he died although he was 66. Once he lost his ability to talk and hear he couldn't work. WEll supposedly the military has all sorts of benefits for surviving spouses but none that they qualified for. If they had the home that was paid for I would have sold it for 400k and she would be in a nice place. I tell everyone I know don't pay your medical bills if you can't afford it because here you can Homestead your home up to a certain amount and that $ is protected. By doing the right thing they had few choices. But the taxpayer didn't get stuck with a dime because of them. That gives me a warm and cozy feeling-not!!!
Which federal agency would you see enforcing the processed foods and such prohibition?Quote:

But then, it's been that kind of year.
It won't be official until the convention, but yes, it looks like the addition of unbound delegates puts him to 1238 delegates.Quote:

You know, now that Don is the guy... it feels different than back when it was just this silly idea that would probably never come to fruition.
