President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Speak Arabic, get booted off a plane.



(Also, too, this guy has more than 1m subscribers on YouTube and he's flying coach?)

 

I was typing another post and did not see your reply. Of course it is not free. I have sons aged 21 and 24 who are in fine health. And I have a 23 year old nephew with a rare kidney disease who is looking at a 25% chance of needing a transplant someday. So I may wind up subsidizing him. Is it really that much of a burden to subsidize the most infirm, especially when one never knows if they might someday land in that situation?

And while our system is fucked up not many in the world have completely solved the problem.

 

No, but subsidizing them via health insurance that isn't really insurance is very, very stupid.

 

I don't have time to look it up but off the top of my head the governemnt pays through various programs over half of medical costs. THe number of Americans is ocial over half

And the correct answer is?

 

I don't know what the "correct" answer is. Perhaps there's not a correct answer. But even if that's the case, some answers are more incorrect than others. And pretending to "insure" those with pre-existing conditions is clearly on the "more incorrect" side of the spectrum.

 

Oh. It was a joke.

Lena Dunham has apologized for saying she wished she had an abortion.

“My latest podcast episode was meant to tell a multifaceted story about reproductive choice in America, to explain the many reasons women do or don’t choose to have children and what bodily autonomy really means,” she wrote on Instagram Tuesday. “I’m so proud of the medley of voices in the episode. I truly hope a distasteful joke on my part won’t diminish the amazing work of all the women who participated.”

But the counterargument to Obamacare is we shouldn't be subsidizing anyone. Period.

Lancey, the answer is 134 million. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and TRICARE.

 

I think your intertuitions are big-time correct. People are saying that. Most people are saying that. They're good people. The best people.

Oh, God, I've typed too much. Where's the takeback button on this thing, Pence?

 

So ... back to the ditches?

 

"A" counterargument ... not "the"

LOL ... keep it up, pal, and I'll throw your sorry ass in myself!

 

More like quintupled down on it.

But, to my knowledge, there is not one proposal out there, formal or informal, that decouples health care from insurance besides ... single-payer.

 

Despite no evidence...
