Democrats voted to fine Americans for not having health insurance, now want to give it to illegal aliens for free.

Nope, not on medicare. And I've had cancer for two years, so I know what medical care costs. And I have been paying rapidly increasing premiums ever since they "had to pass it to find out what is in it." I understand subsidies perfectly. The government takes in an exorbitant amount of money, and pays back a pittance, after it soaks up most of the revenue to feed the bureaucracy. That's how subsidies work. We paid stupid high taxes, the government wastes most of it, and we get back practically nothing. While the government drives up the cost of everything, especially what it subsidizes. That absolutely includes healthcare. There is absolutely nothing that the government cannot make less effective, less efficient, less desirable, and more expensive. Healthcare is a prime example. The U.S. government must now spend most of its money on servicing its debt, chiefly, just trying to pay the interest on what it owes. Eventually, sooner than later, the tipping point will be reached, where it cannot even pay the interest. What do you think will happen to your subsidies when the government runs out of money. You admire Canada? Really? You should look into their MAID initiative. Yeah, that system you wish for in Canada literally counsels people to allow the medical system end their life. "You can't get an appointment to see a doctor about your illness, but, if you're suffering too much, we can get you into a medically assisted suicide facility." That's exactly right, if you become more trouble and expense than they want to be bothered with, they'll literally tell you that you should go talk to a "health care professional" about ending your life.

Yeah, well, the democrats need to count those 30,000,000 illegal aliens in the Census, so they can use them to gain seats in the house of representatives, and electoral votes. Especially where people are fleeing the democrat strongholds. And they're planning to import 140,000 "gazans", like they imported the Somalians, and the previous batch of "gazans". That's why you have Omar and Rashid in congress.And three more relatively reliable democrat states.

LOL. There were apparently a lot of us. My premiums weren't going up like they are now, either.

Most people are not keen on this stuff, as they take it for granted. Try taking it away from them and see how well it goes over. 1/3 of the United States has a preexisting condition.

With regards to military recruiting the Marine Corps has no such problems, even during the pandemic. |

Actually, no. My insurance would have remained in effect. My mother worked in insurance for decades, I'm pretty familiar with it.

There are exceptions to most every rule. The Marine Corps is likely the least "woke" branch of the military.

Actually, so did my wife. For decades also. And was an office manager for multiple physicians, for decades. Unless you were protected by being in a group plan with multiple members, you were screwed. And if you lost your job and tried to hire in with your preexisting condition, they could hire you but not offer their insurance. Sue went thru that many times trying to hire good help. Because they had thousands in their group, huge corporations absorbed people with preexisting conditions and sometime in that era HIPPA came along.

Woke! really, the only awareness Marines know is to close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver. The only color I saw in my 24 years was green! Last edited by Eddies66; 06-14-2024 at 12:53 PM. |
