    No, I'm saying the insurance industry had long been heavily subsidized by the deduction for employer-funded healthcare.

    Putin's 'Human Rights Council' Accidentally Posts Real Crimean Election Results

    Yesterday, however, according to a major Ukrainian news site, TSN.ua, the website of the President of Russia’s Council on Civil Society and Human Rights (shortened to President’s Human Rights Council) posted a report that was quickly taken down as if it were toxic radioactive waste.

    "According to a major Ukrainian news site." (which wouldn't have any bias in the matter at all, of course)

    "The TSN report does not link to a copy of the cited report."

    So . . . . a Ukrainian website claims to post this report (which it doesn't show anyone, claiming it was "taken down").

    Forbes cites the Ukrainian claims.

    The Washington Post cites Forbes.

    And it's all taken as the Gospel . . . because that's what you want to believe.

    But hey, if you want to believe an area in which ethnic Russians outnumber ethnic Ukrainians 4 to 1 did not vote to leave Ukraine for Russia . . . that's your fantasy. Have at it.

    And yet, that never stopped them from hiking premiums. Just like now.

    The vote total announced was 96.7 percent in favor and the status quo was not on the ballot. It was a bullshit vote.

    And what Russia did -- invade and annex the peninsula -- was an inexcusable act of aggression regardless of the bogus referendum after the fact.

    Which is why countries, including Australia, Canada, Japan and the entire EU have joined us in imposing economic sanctions, which have crippled Russia's economy. Putin is a dangerous, corrupt fool.

    Just wondering: did I say something with which you disagree? Or venture into an area about which you have sufficient knowledge to offer an opinion?

    Do you know how Ukraine "acquired" Crimea in the first place?

    If Cruz pulls it off, will he steal votes from Gary "Big" Johnson?
