Now I know why Twitter banned me for posting many links about Donnie being saved by the Saudis.

Was Looking of a good film to see with the family today.

Then I saw that my local Showcase was playing this...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unplanned

Now I am angry and am trying to find a movie theater that I can make my go to theater. Unfortunately all a a lot farther away. I did not mind too much when they play those silly god films they were a joke; this is infuriating. Maybe I'll give up going at all and only rent what I want to see in my own home.

Military Health System

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this but....

The closest thing we have to single payer health coverage is the military health care system. I have been using this system for almost 33years and for the most part I love it. But...
-whenever the presidency changes there are a lot of changes to military health care
-under Regan it was ok for active duty worse for dependents and even morse worse for retirees
-2 years into Bush I it improved a wee bit
-2 years into Clinton improved A LOT
-was fairly stable until..
-2 years into tRump and he is butchering it
-ended over the counter medication program at pharmacies
-tricare shakeup = more red tape (not a disaster)
-now the cuts at military health clinics are disastrous I am seeing massive numbers of civilian providers let go, military staff (docs on down) being told they must transfer but there are no open billets so it is starting to look like forced retirements & force out of the military. Not because of lack of need. They are forcing patients out and into civilian health programs. They are saying preventative care & pre existing conditions will be covered. Word it this is only temporary & new conditions will NOT be covered. The prevailing opinions I'ms hearing is it is to prove government health does not work and to pay for the wall.

The military most defiantly does not like tRump and this is pissing them off more.
