Bozvotros's JournalThey do get livid
Until they get a particularly virulent disease or cancer, lose their job, can't get insured, have a handicapped child or spouse etcetera. Then they lose some of that lividness.
And those healthy young people don't stay that way forever. The last few years and particularly the last few weeks of life are the most expensive part of National Health Care. That's why there's been a big push have everyone have living wills. And I've been amazed to see how many people who trash Medicaid as a big waste suddenly lawyer up with estate attorneys when their wealthy parents need to go into a nursing home. Funny that.
And let's just put it this way.... there's a lot of unhealthy people in Trump country who don't have any problem with showing up in an emergency room for their free emergency gummint Healthcare.
Medicare is nuts too.
There's no reason to have four parts to Medicare. Part A just covers hospitalization. Why did we decide to prioritize only hospital payment with our payroll deduction? Why isn't major medical and pharmaceutical costs part of our Medicare deduction during our working years? I'm sure there's a very good reason that doesn't involve lobbying by hospitals, big pharma and insurance companies. Or blood sucking parasitic vermin. But I repeat myself.
Because just about everything they "know" is a lie, half truth or irrelevancy.
We don't even recognize how ridiculously inadequate Medicare is. We need to have part A, B, C, D? Plus your choice of 50 supplements to fill in the holes? Like seniors need to approach choosing healthcare like it was part lottery and part Chinese food menu? And that doesn't even touch end of life custodial care needs. If your misfortune is to need close supervision and assistance with basic physical care because you have an incurable debilitating condition we can't consider that health care. Sorry.
Republican Vivisectionists and the AHCA
Bless PBO for trying with the ACA but he was attempting vivisection and it is a testament to his skill that the thing is still alive. He actually grafted together a semi viable universal healthcare program by taking parts from free market howler monkeys, common congressional lap lizards, domesticated blue dog collaborators and attached them to progressives who actually wanted to make it happen.
Like most movies about vivisection the results have been less than pretty and there is usually a fatal flaw or weakness that causes the hybrid to die. But In the case of the ACA, the Republicans also tried to starve it to death and hunt it to extinction. Watching them fail miserably at that that and then head to the garage over a couple of weekends to make one of their own with chainsaws and blowtorches has been fun to watch.
Tax reform oughta be a real hoot.
Awwwww, isn't that sweet?
Underneath that big blustering bully persona is really a big whiny crybaby making excuses for his failures, abject stupidity and laziness. That's ever so much better.
THE PAST TWO WEEKS
PRESS: "The entire intelligence community says that there is zero evidence that Obama had anyone do any surveillance on you. Why do you keep saying he did?"
TRUMP: (Reaches into Depends and flings content on press)
"I saw the word 'wiretap' in one article and 'Obama' in another and knew Obama was wiretapping me."
PRESS: (Wiping faces)
"But how could that possible mean that....."
TRUMP: (Unbuckles pants)
"Jimmy Kalecka of Aberdeen, Michigan said the same thing on his website. But I didn't say it. They said it."
(Drops trou and shoots moon )
PRESS: ((Recoiling in disgust)
"OH MY GOD! You just SAID IT!"
TRUMP: (Still bent over, farts loudly)
"I didn't mean actual wiretapping. Could be other things."
PRESS: (coughing, gagging and covering mouths and noses with handkerchiefs)
"Dear God, Like , like what?"
TRUMP: (Jams finger up nose and begins to root)
"I am not going to say. I have a lot of evidence. I may say it tomorrow or wait a week or maybe never.
(Displays large green goober)
or NOW!"
(Flicks it towards press)
PRESS: (Crying and scattering)
"What evidence and why are you waiting?"
TRUMP: (Opens mouth as host of locusts fly out)
"The evidence that Obama made the British do it."
PRESS: (screaming, shoving to get out of room).
"You know that we can check that out, right?"
TRUMP: "Go ahead. But someone said it on FOX, I am just saying what he said. You should ask him not me."
(Grabs live chicken and bites the head off.)
cui bono
We can't forget this in all this noise and smoke about Session lying and the lunatic tweets of 45. This is really about money, lots and lots of it. This is about a President in way over his head to Russian oligarchs working in concert with Putin who is the head of the snake coiled around 45. 45 is owned because the Russians who have helped him can release proof any time they want which will prove 45 has been lying for years about his relationship with Russian businesses and Putin. That spells near certain impeachment and removal and possibly a trial for treason if it can be proved he gave the Russians anything of value in return for their silence, debt forgiveness or other assistance in helping him get elected.
That is why we need those tax records and we need them now. We need to stay focused on getting that and I am absolutely sure there are reporters working non stop to make a subpoena an unavoidable necessity for Republicans in Congress. But there is a danger if we wear ourselves out on stuff that won't lead to the cesspool of graft and corruption at the heart of this dangerous presidency
Summary of 45's speech
"America, I love you. I really do. I will protect you and I will take care of everything. It is going to be great and you're going to like what I do, I promise. And I am just going to put in the tip." Believe me."
