15/15 Or is it bec. rich ppl have more money so they get healthcare they need & don’t get harassed & beaten for being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Clearly-we are no longer a democracy. We are rapidly becoming a “garbage country,” as our Pres.likes to say. That’s what he’s turning us into.

14/15 beds in the middle of the night without a warrant? Repubs won’t stop trying to end social sec. as…

13/15 The cost of groceries is up & will keep going up bec.of tariffs & bec. ICE is arresting ppl who harvest fruit & veggies in fields & arresting citizens too. Maybe they get confused about citizenship but do we have to put up with that? Why are they beating ppl & dragging them out

12/15 In summary: healthcare insur.costs are going up & will double for some ppl bec.repubs won’t fund Obama care. But we’ll need healthcare more than ever bec.we’ll be exposed to toxic water & chemicals dumped randomly. Oh, and RFK has stopped all fed. funded cancer research. Why?

11/15 no more food inspections, no
more control over emmissions into our air, no more fines for dumping toxic-cancer-causing chemicals, etc. Have you traveled to other countries where you don’t dare drink water out of the tap? Well, that’s our future in America now, because repubs are pro-business.

10/15 to point that they corruptly agree all regulations are bad & should be discontinued—which the corrupt majority on the US Supreme Crt.said recently they can do by firing agency leaders who won’t get rid of pesky regulations that get in the way of profits. That means no more clean water…

8/15 corrupted themselves. Republicans in Cong. now have a track record of doing whatever DT wants, even if it hurts their constituents &/or the Americ.ppl, bec. DT- a man who perfected the art of making money fraudulently- represents the ultimate in wealth. He has been and is their role model.

7/15 I bring the word, “regulatory” to
your attention bec.that word is hated by repubs.To them, regulations mean only one thing—less profit. Repubs used to say they were pro-business. Well, that’s a gross under statement today.Why? Bec.repubs have become so fixated on making money, that they’ve…

6/15 Universal Healthcare (UHC)can be provided in hospital, specialty & primary care services & it can be provided with high levels of patient satisfaction. These findings offer regulatory models for countries in other regions as they formulate plans for UHC. Note the word, “regulatory.”

4/15 as I see it & the prob.with all healthcare insur.companies is—they are profit driven. Being profit-driven is fine if a company manufactures things, or offers services ppl don’t need, but it’s wildly inappropriate to sell healthcare. According to the 2021 NIH- Universal Health Care exists in…

3/15 Maybe it offers a different insur.pkg for those w/pre-existing conditions, maybe those ppl must seek insur.on their own.(isn’t that what Obama care is for?)Either way it incentivizes employers to hire ppl “on the younger side,” as Pres. DT has said about the kind of women he likes.The problem…

2/15 It has $0 copays, $0 deductibles, & $0 out-of-pocket costs for in-network care & preferred Rx’s, PROVIDED members complete an initial "Baseline Visit.” So the question is, does the Baseline Visit mean you get this healthcare plan only if you don’t have certain pre-existing health conditions?

10/13 “This coddling culture of martryrdom makes killing more likely. Russia is now a risk in a way it wasn’t before. In the last 3 yrs, ops have accelerated inside Europe & include blowing up military sites. Russia also pays people inside other countries to carry out acts of terror & sabotage.”
