It was a lousy system that should have been corrected to provide better care but instead they created a boondogle called obamacare which raised the cost of insurance for everyone. Prior to obamacare my 28 year old son could get high deductible insurance for $130 a month. With the enactment of obamacare he has a higher deductible policy that costs $360 a month but he is covered if he gets pregnant.skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-33734133571699751092017-04-22T09:59:20.351-04:002017-04-22T09:59:20.351-04:00Jersey, you have a terrible habit of asserting wit...Jersey, you have a terrible habit of asserting without showing when you make certain outrageous statements such as "Bill O'Reilly lied" for two decades as if everyone else that ever watched the show was too dense to detect these lies.<br /><br />You must start by enumerating the lies you detected when you watched the show "for two decades" to have a valid argument.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-91517233978156980632017-04-22T09:16:40.451-04:002017-04-22T09:16:40.451-04:00Jersey, first you heartily concur with my assessme...Jersey, first you heartily concur with my assessment of the Republican Party as fractured and schizoid, then you reverse yourself in the stagement mmediatly above. <br /><br />Now how am I supposed to deal with that? ;-)<br /><br />It is patently OBVIOUS that Paul Ryan has fully intended from the beginning to frustrate, balk, thwart, and neutralize President Trump's agenda. <br /><br />Speaker Ryan was always firmly oppsed to Mr. Trump.

It doesn't do the GOP any good to fail miserably and blame it on the minority. We have an effective one-party state at this point, and it's the GOP's. The GOP is in charge. It's up to them now. They don't seem particularly up to the task.<br /><br />A favorite among Trump voters, Bill O'Reilly's show officially came to an end tonight. O'Reilly had more to do with the election of Donald Trump and the rise of the GOP in recent years than Rush Limbaugh did for the Republican Revolution of '94. O'Reilly lied and lied and lied on television every night, for two decades, to millions of older, white, ill-informed Americans. It encapsulated the Republican dilemma - The world is changing, change scares people, but they have no good ideas for dealing with change, so they distract, and lie, and blame the powerless, and hold up scumbags as models of virtue, and once in power? Nothing. They have nothing. They're just crooks and crooked.<br /><br />Trump would have been 1000% better off if the Dems had taken the House and Senate in 2016. But he's stuck with a party that is stuck in the very swamp he says he wants to drain. Heck, they aren't just stuck in it - the GOP IS THE SWAMP.<br /><br />skudrunner, Your first sentence is incorrect. A complete misrepresentation of how the "system" works.

It was called medicaid and took care of those who could not or would not take care of themselves. They went from free healthcare to healthcare they can't afford. Obamacare was and is totally flawed from the get go because only those who are really sick signed up and that drained the system.<br /><br />It is unfortunate that we had a horrible speaker who was replaced by a horrible speaker. He had promise but had put personal power in front of serving the people, guess that is the definition of politician.<br />DJT can't put down his massive ego long enough to govern and the media is out to crucify him at every turn which he asks for.<br />Now the democrats own obamacare and they would live for the republicans to take than wart off their backs because like chuckie said, you change it you own it. skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-56691915572910964932017-04-21T18:48:52.268-04:002017-04-21T18:48:52.268-04:00FOR THE RECORD:

The GOP can't produce a law that is more popular than Obamacare, which is funny, as it's not like Obamacare was ever very popular, nor can they just be rid of it, because that's less popular an option as well. Trump, in the past, has been on record supporting single-payer universal healthcare. If he really had it his way, I think that's what we'd get. Now, THAT would be popular, but it runs diametrically opposed to everything the GOP stands for. <br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-15968796141136700842017-04-21T13:22:44.672-04:002017-04-21T13:22:44.672-04:00FT, I hadn't thought that it wouldn't be t...FT, I hadn't thought that it wouldn't be taken literally, but I suppose one could take it figuratively as well.<br /><br />IOW, we could call him a "cork soaker" instead.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-72024384095489676012017-04-21T13:03:51.369-04:002017-04-21T13:03:51.369-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Pepe Lamokanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-45838775584145925242017-04-21T12:58:49.011-04:002017-04-21T12:58:49.011-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.IMHOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-13204925628055088232017-04-21T12:20:01.045-04:002017-04-21T12:20:01.045-04:00Guilt by association?

The American citizen returned home to the United States late Thursday.<br /><br />“President Trump and his aides worked for several weeks with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi to secure the freedom of Aya Hijazi, 30, a U.S. citizen, as well as her husband, Mohamed Hassanein, who is Egyptian, and four other humanitarian workers,” reports The Washington Post. “Trump dispatched a U.S. government aircraft to Cairo to bring Hijazi and her family to Washington.”<br /><br />Trump apparently succeeded where former president Obama failed. The Post continues:<br /><br />The Obama administration unsuccessfully pressed Sissi’s government for their release. It was not until Trump moved to reset U.S. relations with Egypt by embracing Sissi at the White House on April 3 — he publicly hailed the autocrat’s leadership as “fantastic” and offered the U.S. government’s “strong backing” — that Egypt’s posture changed. Last Sunday, a court in Cairo dropped all charges against Hijazi and the others.Mr. Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208092450642530948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-55014284534877979722017-04-21T10:39:46.769-04:002017-04-21T10:39:46.769-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Donkey's Revengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643065288145308646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-4434999960398600262017-04-21T10:28:13.623-04:002017-04-21T10:28:13.623-04:00...So Tillerson probably earned his stripes as a g......So Tillerson probably earned his stripes as a globalist with a set of knee pads placed between David Rockefeller's knees.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-91494166389918796472017-04-21T10:25:28.675-04:002017-04-21T10:25:28.675-04:00Being an employee of Exxon/Mobil for forty plus ye...Being an employee of Exxon/Mobil for forty plus years Mr. Tillerson could well be an impressive figure.
