Lyme was a terrible experience for me I'm thankful it was quickly identified and I had good insurance. People of CT and the US need guaranteed healthcare and medical research.

The article pretty clearly points out this kind of visa already exists for an investment of 1 million. I don't know how increasing the cost would help. Anyone who has this money ready to invest and wants to live in America or gain citizenship doesn't have a problem achieving that.

Personal combat?! He thinks this is an RPG. He has no right to bet a country first off. And honestly, I believe wholeheartedly that he would lose very badly. Putin may be old but he'd take musk, Zelenskyy on the other hand. Actually put the 3 in the ring winner takes all 3 countries.

One of the bigger flaws is not accounting for government spending being a huge part of GDP If the goal was to reduce the debt, why on Earth would you do it in a way that makes it a larger proportion of GDP?

Unfortunately, this whole thing seems to be an experiment in pushing people over the cliff until the bodies are built up enough to cushion the weight of corporations.

We have to remember than GOP votes as a block far more often than Dems. The Dems are more of a coalition of center and left so they don't agree as much
The filibuster has been intact whenever the Dems had the Senate. Those 2 years they had control was height of covid so most policy was recovery.

Forgive me if I came off as denying criticism, what I mean to say is there's more value in rallying behind the Dems doing good work. He's certainly not alone.

The Dems have been trying though they but in the past 12 years congress has only been dem in both chambers 2 years 1/2

This is my senator and was my state rep. My first encounters with him were at the state legislature and I've respected him and supporting him since. When people say the Dems aren't fighting they need to look at people like Murphy and evaluate his record of standing up to corruption.

I'm glad you don't really have to worry. For a second there seeing the post I thought you were dealing with America, I live in Korea and it sounds very similar to South Africa. However, I think our costs are still lower. Generally, the quality of care I've received has been excellent.

It's insane you have to worry about this I moved to a country more than 10 places down economically from the US my healthcare is never a concern. Coverage denial isn't a thing, I have cheap supplemental insurance to my public insurance to make sure my out of pocket is ok. Less waiting than the US

I do hate this blame the Dems not the voters mentality. There were tons of single issue abstentions, protest votes, and general not turning out. People being unenthused chose to watch it all burn instead.

They will but not until midterms. You're right though until the American people protest in mass the far right owns the country

Congress isn't irrelevant but the house is so strongly held by the Right Dems are irrelevant in Congress.

They've tried a stay from SCOTUS requires five justices to agree not filing a stay will cause permanent harm. Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett were all hand picked by Leonard Leo and the federalist society search.app/yajayJYJsWNG...

Not at the top of my list but I think history will be kinder to Biden. He got punished for doing what he was voted in for.
