Almost all medical bankruptcies among Seniors are the result of stays in nursing home and LTC facilities. Stays in those facilities are covered by Medicare only for the first 100 days, then Medicaid takes over. Before they start paying, they will take every single dime you have.
Not what i read. https://www.netquote.com/health-ins... percent of those,percent higher than in 2002. It is not the main cause. Just the terrible cost, the gaps and the 20 percent.
Getting your ass kicked in 2016 definitely affected yours. It caused you to believe in Russian collusion, that their were valid reasons for impeachment, and that all this nonsense going on now is anything but more politics designed to defeat Trump.

Hello Woko Haram,
That's gonna be a helluva fight. It would take a united effort in Congress, but we're not going to have that. The insurance industry is so powerful it can destroy a one-party effort. And it wouldn't matter which party tried it. All it has to do is throw money at the other party. And we have to expect that the Republican Party is going to side with the insurance industry.

The wonderful thing about learning Latin - and Greek - at school is that they give you a tremendous start on understanding English vocabulary. Other than the very close family words (which are actually 'Welsh', though far be it from the Master Race to admit it), the peasant-type words are German, but anything educated tends to be Latin, French (which is modern Latin) or Greek. Inflected languages are a pain in the backside - Chinese is much easier - but I'm glad they were inflicted on me in school.
So who gives a fuck? My neighbors across the street all contracted the virus and the whole thing lasted maybe a day and a half; temperatures rose with slight fevers accompanied with minor discomfort, and that was it. They're all back outside enjoying their Summer.
So what are you diaper dopers doing? Staying home trying to scare everyone into homebound paralysis, of course. What a bunch of fucking degenerates. lol

Yeah, English is a crazy language. It's still regarded as Germanic, I guess its grammar still is, but so many of the words and some of the grammar are Latin or French.
Though learning Chinese would still be much harder for someone who only knows English.

Dunno - they are both a bit free on the sort of grammar that makes Latin such a pain ('We doan have gwammar' said one of our instructor - but he found lots of opportunities to say, 'We jus doan say that'). The tones are the main problem for those like me who are not tone deaf but a bit tone-short-of-hearing!
The ACA was a foot in the door. Obama could not get universal care. He had to permit PHARM to continue looting because he could not withstand their lobbying power. He had enough powerful corporations to fight. The idea was to improve it as time went on. But we got Trump who is a pro-Corporate stooge.I doubt Trump has any interest in healthcare. To the wealthy, healthcare is couch change.
We have a million Americans engaged in medical tourism every year. They go abroad to get cheaper and as good a care as we have. As usual, the laws regulations are meaningless to the wealthy.

Makes you think....no? An explosion of new cases...........and a declining death rate. Meaning that Red States are developing immunity while blue state pussies who wear masks are weakening their own immune systems. Personally I can't wait until WINTER TIME just to see who survives the next wave........AFTER WEARING MASKS all summer depressing the bodies ability to develop anti-bodies against any NOVEL VIRUS.....or the people who went out and built up an immunity by refusing to wear a left wing costume while laughing at those who thought they were saving themselves but in reality were simply lining up to be slaughtered in the next wave of designer novel viruses.
Logic and Reason are often divorced from SHEEP.
Yeah.....LOGIC. The number infected by C19.........4 million............number infected by swine flu in 2009 with over 500,000 dead world wide......60 million infected in the US by itself in 2009. Just 56 Million to go. Strange is it not with almost an equal rate of death........no masks in 2009, not shut down of US workforce, no schools closed....with 56 million more sick than in 2020.
Again.....Truth speaks volumes while BULLSHIT propaganda is believed only by the gullible, even when the facts are just a few keystrokes away.
