When does the nuclear war with N. Korea start? Asking for a friend. My friends girlfriend needs an abortion. Anyone know where that can be done? Good thing my gay friends got married already cuz I hear that is going away, Is Isis still a thing? So glad I cashed out my stocks cuz my family told me to. (didn't do that) Russia and The USA hold ninety percent of the worlds nuclear arsenal. Both countries could blow up the earth. Would it be cool to get along or no? Asking for a different friend. Anyone know of anyone who lost their health insurance? I'm still waiting for my sisters, mother, daughters to respond to my question as to what rights they have lost or don't have that I do. (They all are CEO's, Business owners, Medical personal (who makes $93.000.00 a year at thirty years old). The only response I got was. "It's unsafe now for women cuz Trump made it okay to grab their pussy" That was actually followed with a haha. So I'm digging a bomb shelter in my back yard, because the sky is falling. The sky is falling. Medicaid has put a $2,500 annual cap on benefits. Tri-Care is now not covering the entire procedures and is leaving significant costs to the members. Wait until Health Care premiums are drastically increased and see how many people cannot pay them.

But my question is, has this addministration done anything yet?I truly don't know. I think everything that is happening was already in progress. No? Is that not the ACA? I think so.

Capitalism can be a great thing, but it has no. business being conjoined with the care of people’s health. If you Health Insurance is awesome, is it Union related?

Speaking of healthcare, there is no such thing as free healthcare. Lots of people mention the Canadian system. Canadians do have healthcare for all and there is no cost when you go there however Canadians are taxed 60% of there paychecks to pay for this benefit. Its the same as what we have really. If you add up my taxes and my healthcare premiums and HSA contributions is like 60% of my pay. The only difference is I get premium healthcare and Canadians get government healthcare.

"It's unsafe now for women cuz Trump made it okay to grab their pussy" That was actually followed with a haha. Agh, yes. The famous and favorite overused and go-to one-liner of the libs. No matter what Trump does, that line is then thrown back out, regardless of whatever the topic is. Actually, NBC/ESPN are working out the wrinkles on a pussy grabbing competition. Not sure yet if it will be some sort of halftime entertainment or a regular show. Perhaps a show of hands?

If you add up my taxes and my healthcare premiums and HSA contributions is like 60% of my pay. The only difference is I get premium healthcare and Canadians get government healthcare. No free ride overall, but a massive difference in how that pie gets distributed (citizens, doctors, pharmaceutical, and insurance companies, and not in that order), and the fairness thereof - in addition to the effectiveness of the system, and consequences (i.e. not being able to get timely appointments or close-by emergency care (?)). It's not 60% just towards healthcare. IDK what kind of social security/Medicare type system you have, but all that has gone up here, probably by 20% (?) over the past 20 years. As far as health insurance, there are people like me, who fell thru the cracks, with even catastrophic insurance (which means you get no benefit until you spend $7250 for the year, can cost $10,000 a year, more than they make at a given time). Guess what? I worked for a year & 1/2, quit, and they send me all this stuff that I suddenly qualified for Medicaid, which is basically free. $3 co-pays, same drugs, even includes dental. That was last Oct, and I never partook a single dime. Yet. lol But anyway, that is state -driven I believe. Bottom line, there seems a lot of inequity as to whom get "Affordable Act" benefits. What/who is Scott?

That doesn't even make sense. Well, I imagine something else would kick in for something like brain tumors, or a drive-by shooting, requiring $100 - $250K (?) in surgeries. You don't get thrown out on the street, and you can't get blood from a stone. I better check that policy soon. Can't take good health for granted. Never spend a day in the hospital, and have no conditions at all. But with medical care being what it is in this country, I'll have worked all my life for nothing if the right (wrong) ailment comes along.

It is prudent to investigate.

Did you know that if you are on ACA and the government subsidises some of your payment that you owe that back?
If you get a raise you need to pay money back. If you die and own anything, its the governments now.
Did you know that?

What/who is Scott? I dont know about the medicare end I keep my insurance when I retire. And SS is something I can care less about really. I dont plan on getting it so if it there thats gravy. And being that I give the max it would be sweet to get some back lol. If I understand you correct you got better benefits after you stopped working?
