The costs are getting out of control for many people.
Discourage all employers to sponsoring health plans.
Publish all the average/median medical costs per treatment-type every year. (like Patrick mentioned many times)
So that just like auto, one can shop around and buy individually.

It's all Obama's fault!!!

How did society get to this point?

Because some people deeply hate America and can't accept that Trump is our president.

Won't America feel betrayed when all they do is seize plastic surgery offices, sequester and requisition all botox supplies, and demand free intestinal bypasses and vaginal rejuvenation surgeries?

Fake news.

HEYYOU says

‘Based on sober scientific analysis, we are deeply within a climate emergency state but people are not aware of it,’ he told Horizon on the sidelines of the European Research and Innovation Days event in Brussels, Belgium. ‘We don’t want to see the truth. As Greta Thunberg would say, I would like people to panic and take action according to the state of emergency we are in.’

‘If we go into a runaway climate effect, the damage may be between €100 trillion and the loss of civilisation,’ he said.
Brainwashed scientist,worried about money when he may have to survive in a collapsed environment.

Ahhh...100 trillion loss and the loss of civilization. Very scientific.

Trump is not on your side no matter what you think.

Nor was Obama or Bush. They were still our presidents. Do you think Hillary would have made America great again?

Looks like Trump will be our president for the next five years unless a good candidate comes forward; know any?

jazz_music says

Obama got a lot of people health coverage who would have died horrible deaths otherwise.

Okay. If you say so without any evidence...

One is extortion by the president, using a threat of withholding aid to obtain something of value. The second crime is conspiracy to engage in extortion between the president and Rudy Giuliani. And third crime is conspiracy to violate election law, given there may be three underlying crimes, I think we’re beyond the issue of the whistleblower.

1. Nope - no threat of withholding aid. HOWEVER, Biden did threaten to withhold aid in order to have Porky fire Prosecutor Shokin. Biden, then VP, bragged about it. Including daring Porky to go ask Obama if he thought he was bluffing.

2. There is no extortion. As President, bearing a signed mutual criminal investigation agreement (signed by Bill Clinton) with the Ukraine, and as the chief Law Enforcement Official in the land, Trump is well within his rights to ask for cooperation with the Ukrainian President in investigating a US Citizen. Indeed, it's an official duty for him to do so.

3. No Election Law, since Primaries are Private Club Events. Either Republicans or Democrats could not hold primaries at all and nominate their candidate in a smoke filled room.

What we're seeing is projection, where the Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myself) are accusing the President of doing what they did.

We're also seeing Political Judo, where Trump is going to hoist the Democrats by their own petard.

Wall Street Democratic donors warn the party: We’ll sit out, or back Trump, if you nominate Elizabeth Warren

You actually believe that? This is just shilling to make Warren look tough on Wall St and thus enhance her appeal to the masses. The reality is that Big Banks know that no matter how loud a Dem talks about curtailing Wall St, it is just a call for a Wall St campaign contribution or other "donation." Stroke the check and it will be business as usual.

I don't know. She really has gone full-on crazy. Once Biden drops out of the race, I wonder if the remaining candidates will move even more left or try to fill Biden's void.

Democrats are suicidal types, only problem is they try to pull others along with them.

First BINGO Word: BOMBSHELL

Big donors may prefer Ms. Harris, as she has a better track record of whoring zirself out.

I believe this case is unique and unprecedented

This statement can mean anything, but IMPARTIAL press will hear in it only ORANGEMAN BAD message.

OCCUPY and DISARM the confederate states and ENSLAVE their white citizens

Bullets will bounce of her botoxed face. She is invincible!

Drudge has been going downhill for a while. UNLESS, they are in on it.

BOMBSHELL!

Where's Big Al or whatever his name is?

It's the Tipping Point folks!

We can date the end of the Trump administration from today!!!

The assessment above where I point out three impeachable felonies committed was given by Jeremy Bash.

So Trump committed THREE felonies. Care to summarize? Or are they just more BS made up stories?

"Say hello to my little friend!"

It will be like Roman Polanski, except not France.

"Like a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, and in the end, signifying nothing."

yeah, the irony is pretty amazing; Warren will piss off the bleeding heart libs who have any money, and Sanders is too weird and crazy; many voters will skip voting rather than vote for either of them.

Deep down the liberals want to spend your money on their pet loser ideas; they don't want to be taxed to death to pay for it themselves.

In other words, an Obama crony who then went to work with a DC Law Firm, which of course are known for their Pro-American, anti-Corporate Money outlook.

Did he write the Whistleblower Memo? Because it looks like it was written by a lawyer and/or WaPo writer. Lots of footnotes, careful citations of legal precedent, legal caveats, etc.

https://nypost.com/2019/09/26/city-bans-calling-someone-an-illegal-alien-out-of-hate/

NYC bans calling someone an ‘illegal alien’

The restrictions — violations of which are punishable by fines of up to $250,000 per offense — are outlined in a 29-page directive released by City Hall’s Commission on Human Rights.

“‘Alien’ — used in many laws to refer to a ‘noncitizen’ person — is a term that may carry negative connotations and dehumanize immigrants, marking them as ‘other,'” reads one passage of the memo. “The use of certain language, including ‘illegal alien’ and ‘illegals,’ with the intent to demean, humiliate, or offend a person or persons constitutes discrimination.”

The directive goes on to list several examples of acts and comments that would run afoul of the restrictions, including harassing people over their accents or grasp of English, or wielding the threat of a call to Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a tool of hate.

“A hotel prohibits its housekeepers from speaking Spanish while cleaning because it would ‘offend’ hotel guests or make them uncomfortable,” reads one hypothetical.

HONK HONK!!!

clambo says

Sanders is too weird and crazy

He might energize the younger liberal crowd, which stayed home when Ms Cankles ran. I think Sanders might have won WI from Trump in last election.

LOL

Catering to rich people is a long established tradition in California. Laws, policies, tax structures, and special circumstances must all align to guarantee the wealthy gain better access to public property than the masses.

These fuckers sound worried.

Right or wrong, parking in an EV charging spot is a sure fire way to make EV owners livid. I've heard at least a few owners complain about this in the past couple years, and it makes them really really mad. A coworker actually mentioned this to me on tue lol, and lamented the fact that the signs do (usually?) say that anyone can park there, not just EVs.

1) You take an example of one Tesla driver and you call EV/Tesla Arrogant Assholes?

2) Could it be that Tesla has a contract with the property owner to lease those parking spaces for Tesla chargers, which reserved for Tesla cars only?

Pugnacity, policy, and the China shop bull all combined into the perfect package.

You're right! I think this latest move will prevent his 3rd term!

I sure as shit have noticed their arrogance. Mostly by driving like assholes. Almost killed me a few weeks ago. Worse than blue BMW drivers.

You're in love with Mike Pence? It's okay man, I'm not homophobic.

Tim Aurora says

Kurt Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO caught in the middle of a whistleblower complaint over the President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, resigned Friday from his post as special envoy to the Eastern European nation, according to a U.S. official.

Might be the Leaker! Some said it smacked more of State Dept than FBI/CIA.

The State Guy claimed to be on the call but wasn't --- that was the Barium Meal.
