.... now criminals, aliens, deviants, haters and asocial misfits have been put on the run, forced into the shadows, made to live in fear - where they belong.

The US needs more taxpayers - not more parasites and rapists - as had been the Biden agenda.

The inhabitants of places like Somalia and Senegal should be left to the evolutionary plane that they occupied with moderate success for the past 300k years. Bringing them West and expecting them to successfully negotiate our advanced societies is absurd. The real crime of race and political correctness is that they were not left to their own  appropriately Paleolithic  stations. It is worse than a political-social mis-step. It is a crime against the natural order of things.

Obamacare is a total bust. My sister-in-law was told that no medical office in our county will accept 'bronze' or 'silver' tier coverage, which pretty much means Obamacare is paying discounted premiums for non-existent coverage. She has pre-existing health problems of some sort so it's a huge problem for her.  What a travesty. American citizens - working people - can't get medical care in a country that sent people to the Moon 50 years ago. Seems deliberate. Seems like a prelude asset harvesting.  So when they say whatever percentage of Americans have "coverage" - take that for what it's worth - not much.

They continue to dump more money into that albatross.

When do we get to the point where you can actually go to a doctor?

 I will give them this much credit: It's affordable....because it's just worthless. In the business I used to be in it is what we called a "phantom load" - billing for something that never existed. Basically the insurance companies are collecting $1500 a head from the government and providing nothing in return.  I'm guessing the people at those very same insurance companies have better coverage than us...at least upper management does.

None of this actually matters to me. We're all healthy right now and I'll be getting Medicare in a couple years.  I have no idea what will happen though. I guess moving forward, if you get sick you lose your house.

Insurance companies found a windfall with that plan. Guaranteed customers without any competition.

They could straighten out healthcare in one day if they tried in earnest. But the primary agenda of the US government is not to serve the nation and its people. It is to try at every turn to make the other party look bad, sabotage anything they propose and whip up hared among the populace.  But what, in reality,  has the government done for us ?   Since 9/11 the country has been in a tail spin of endless warfare and constant bickering. The media is thoroughly unreliable. There is not one source of credible information available to any of us now that every person on Earth can publish their thoughts as if they were gospel. 
  At any rate, I'm glad I'm white and live in an all-white Christian community. There is no crime here, the schools are top-notch, safe and encouraging. We all look out for one another and help our neighbours in need.  We are insulated from the larger world and the attendant hate. This is real Americana.   ...  we want to keep it this way.....  It doesn't matter if you have faith or religion - here we are all Christians because we treat one another with respect and kindness. We would like to see all of America like this. It would be a much better world with Americans setting a moral example as well as carrying an economic/military bludgeon.

We'd be better off without insurance companies and lawyers at all at this point. We'd be better off if you could just go to Marcus Welby and write him a check.

I remember when you did that. A think a doctor's visit was near ten bucks. I don't remember what lab costs were, if any. No CT scans or MRIs. Just Xrays.

We've come a long way.

How telling it is that the Democrats will side with foreign narco-terrorists against their own nation simply because their candidate was resoundingly rejected by the American people.  Perhaps their affinity for criminals and terrorists - at home, abroad  and on the high seas - is part and parcel of their notion that the wealth of hard-working, law-abiding Americans should be re-distributed to base criminals and foreign terrorists. That's how profound their hatred of this country is.

What is telling is how quick folks like you are to throw the law and the COTUS under the bus while joyfully embracing authoritarianism. Those are not things that Americans would do.

We had Blue Cross until Obama got elected...and then things went sideways.  If you're rich you don't care. If you're poor you get Medicaid - for the rest of us, the people paying the bills, there's nothing - as usual.  Because they know we'll pay and we have assets they can snatch.

Do you recall who's idea "Obamacare" was?

Nobody needs all those bullshit tests they run. They over-treat and over-prescribe.

I've always been pro summarily and/or pre-emptively executing foreign terrorists. Also rounding up criminals and throwing them in jail is absolutely productive. If they resist or otherwise assault law enforcement - thne let them bear the wages of their sins.  Criminal predators do not deserve to walk free and the notion that these violent habitual offenders can ever be 'rehabilitated' is nonsense. It is apparent while they are still in school which ones are sociopaths. It is absolutely easy to spot them. Normal, mentally healthy people do not rob, rape and kill. Those that do forfeit their rights and citizenship.

It has now become apparent that Democrats at all levels of government were using aid programs and entitlement programs to not only enrich themselves but to fund foreign terror groups aligned against the US and our allies as well.  It wasn't a one-off. It was standard operating procedure. Hundreds of billions that could have benefited tax-paying US citizens split among criminals and terrorists. The treachery is insidious.
