Would you trade the present Canadian healthcare system for the new Republican U.S. system ? Remember Canada costs half as much to cover everyone.

Two different investments. States can tax , mortgage bonds no.

Because of your first post above

Should the U.S. copy England's system ?

How the healthcare bill plays out will determine 2020 Congress and White House elections to say the least.

I would like to see Cardale and Peterman outplay Yates for roster spots.

What if Andrew Cuomo or Biden had run against the chosen one Hillary ?

The New York Times used a full page in this week's paper to print out every lie President Donald Trump has publicly told since taking office just over five months ago. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/06/25/the-new-york-times-used-a-full-page-to-print-all-of-trumps-lies-taking-office/23001261/

With the millions of new low wage jobs without health insurance not a surprise. The GM plant I retired from lost over 9,000 good jobs to Mexico and China

A complete look at the teams' current and future salary cap situation SAL CAPACCIO JUNE 25, 2017 - 10:33 PM According to the NFLPA’s public salary cap report, the Bills currently have $13,982,198 in available cap space for 2017. The figure includes only the top 51 salaries for players currently under contract. Once final cuts are made following the last preseason game, all 53 players on the roster will count towards the cap. http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/bills-cap-situation-looking-healthier-2017-and-beyond According to Over The Cap, accounting for a $178 million cap per team, the Bills will be roughly $34 million under that number including players currently under contract. The most notable names whose contracts will expire after this season are WR Sammy Watkins, DE Kyle Williams, C Eric Wood, and LB Preston Brown. That's why I like Sal , very detail oriented

If the Bills want a QB high in the next draft , it'll cost them at least 3 first rd picks. Seems like McD has a plan after passing on Mahomes and Watson and trading down for a extra 1st.

Updated 12/16/2016 President Barack Obama said Friday that he told Russian President Vladimir Putin in September to “cut it out” in regard to allegations that his nation engaged in cyberattacks against the U.S. electoral process Obama added that further hacking by Russia did not occur following Obama’s admonition. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/obama-putin-232754

Cousins has real leverage now, after this season a 3rd franchise tag is a 44% raise.

With insurance co's losing money and pulling out of ACA means millions are in dire need of healthcare. This needs a bipartisan solution to fix this disaster.

I was talking to someone who was getting coverage thru the NY marketplace and the call to a advisor walked him thru it. It is confusing just off there website offers.

A look at the new healthcare bill so far The House’s bill, among its many reforms, would unwind Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid, health insurance for the poor. That expansion has given health insurance to 12m Americans. Surely moderate Senate Republicans could not tolerate a reversal? Yet the Senate bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), revealed on June 22nd after a secretive drafting process (see leader), merely delays the start of the Medicaid cuts by an additional two years, to 2021. In fact, the cuts to the programme would end up being deeper than under the House plan. The poorest buyers would pay no more than 2% of their income for insurance. As a result, those who lost Medicaid coverage would probably still be able to buy insurance. That insurance, though, could be skimpy indeed. Obamacare provides enough of a subsidy to buy a “silver” plan, which pays 70% of enrollees’ medical bills on average The BCRA would only cough up enough for a “bronze” plans, paying on average 58% of expenses. In other words, the poor would face higher out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles. Obamacare gives them help with such costs, but the BCRA eventually abolishes that assistance. As a result, the insurance within reach of the poor would be useful only if catastrophe struck. From day to day, they would find themselves paying a lot more for predictable expenses such as trips to the doctor or prescriptions. They might forego such care to save money. http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2017/06/senate-s-health-care-bill-0 The last time I looked at the NY marketplace the least expensive bronze plan was $340 a month with a $7,500 deductible before that insurance kicks in. That's $4,080 a year plus $7,500 deductible if I understand right. That's for one person, family coverage must be enormous.

Interesting factoid on cnn Medicaid covers: 49% of all births 60% of all children with disabilities 64% of all nursing home residents from Kaiser family foundation

Enlarged prostate , don't get old

The healthcare bill is in the hands of a republican Congress and President . The Democrats have no say now. Will it MAGA , time will tell.

If Trump could beat the great orator Andrew Cuomo , I would be very impressed. I think Cuomo or Biden would have won in 2016 but they stood aside for Queen Hillary

The problem still remains how to care for millions with serious health problems. People who earn too much to qualify for medicaid but can't afford too expensive insurance.

Amazing so many future draft picks collected by Vegas http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/vegas-takes-carrier-expansion-draft
