SectionC3 Posted July 2 Posted July 2 11 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: “Here in Canada, many of us believe we are witnessing the fall of the U.S. empire. Would a civilized country limit health care or food assistance for the poor; leave crops rotting in the fields; destroy the educational system; target women and attempt to eliminate their reproductive rights while refusing to help resulting babies; abuse desperate immigrants; pretend to believe in Christianity while perverting and debasing its tenets; and refuse to protect the Earth from destruction? The world is watching.” – Paul F. Haacker That about sums it up. 1 1

The great US healthcare system...Often quality services. Always exhorbitant prices. Imagine being uninsured. The health care system sounds like it allows you to profit handsomely, but everyone has their cross to carry. 1

My daughter who has a Huge empathetic heart came to me before work today. She said Mom Im scared for the people about to lose all their health benefits with the poor especially affected on Medicare. I told her girl the senate can decide one way but the house will be a totally different matter. Make no mistake this bill Is going to be a big Fat FIGHT. Know this. Our worry and angst over who may lose benefits is NOT IN OUR CONTROL. The stress wiil only make you sick. Let It go and wait and see what happens. *sigh* then we prayed for wisdom and discernment with our representatives to act fairly in accordance with their constituents wishes. Amen m Edited July 2 by muppy 1 1

I would collect about $300/hour in the office running flat out.. Overhead ate 1/2. Hospital work, no where near that- lots of Medicaid (it barely pays for overhead) and no pays(uninsured) and it carries the highest risk. Oh, and we payed a tax to support a statewide malpractice fund for birth injuries. Some pay the Medicaid tax they were fighting over in Congress. Lots of people (eg hospital administrators) with less training and less hours make much more. Honest docs aren't the problem. Edited July 2 by Joe Ferguson forever

Amen m Hi Mup- I'm not sure why my note to Fergie prompted this note to me, but I'm glad you shared your thoughs and how you feel. I respect you for fighting for the things you believe in, for things that are important to you, and for helping to guide your daughter through this maze of madness that represents our political process. I am uncertain why people feel I should not do the same, or that I should subvert my opinions or things that are important to me. I recognize that's not the point of your note to me, but I see it here all the time. I was chastised earlier today for my beliefs ironically enough. I agree with your daughter, btw, about concerns about people generally. However, I am completely and irrevocably cynical as to exactly how these bills play out, what really happens at the street level, and which politicians are shilling for what special interests at any given point in time. I'd suggest to my daughter (a recovering empath btw) figure about half of what is published is false, incorrect , deliberately misleading or partially true. 1

How you attained your wealth isn't my business, I'm just an observer along the way.

K D Posted July 2 Posted July 2 2 minutes ago, B-Man said: TRUTH They would rather have that than let Trump have a win. They would rather millions of people die from a "lab leak" virus (or was it on purpose?) just to tank the economy so Trump isn't reelected and so they can pass draconian laws. But that's just a conspiracy 🙊 "the great reset" indeed. 1 1 1
Big Blitz Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) Scott: "There are almost 5 million able bodied people on Medicaid who simply choose not to work. I don‘t want to pay for your welfare." Host: "I don't know where you're getting those numbers." Scott: "CBO" The CBO does in fact estimate that 5 million able bodied people are enrolled in Medicaid or other health benefits.
