Comrade Bobbie is going full socialist on us on healthcare. Is that any surprise?

Socialized medicine kills with its lengthy waiting lists. In the UK, most doctors in the socialized National Health Service get private medical insurance so that they can get good and timely care in the parallel private health system because they know first hand how bad the socialized system is. Australia has a similar parallel system, but Canada does not, leading many Canadians to seek decent and timely medical care in the US.

I remember an article a couple of years ago in one of the British newspaper about three men all diagnosed about the same time with the same type of cancer at the same stage. One mortgaged his house and paid cash through a private hospital in the UK. He was cured. Another went abroad (India or Turkey if memory serves) to get treatment at a much cheaper cost. He was cured. The third waited his turn on the National Health Service waiting list. When they got to him, his results showed the cancer had progressed too far and was inoperable. He died. That is how waiting lists kill in socialized medicine.

Prior to Obmmacare, employer based health insurance was written for all employees of each company, and those denial rates on claims were still 1% to 2%.

As far as actualial tables and individual insurance, that is a matter of fairness to customers. Consider life insurance; should a person 30 years old in good health pay the same rates as someone 60 years old with cancer? Or auto insurance; should someone with no driving convictions pay the same auto insurance rates as someone with a string of DWI's and speeding tickets? Of course NOT.

Musk and Soros are alike in one way, the objectives for which they spend money are ideological, not self-serving financial, but they are opposite sides of the ideological divide. Soros is a globalist elitist and collectivist. Musk has joined the forces of individualism and liberty, taling a populist appreach. Soros works with groups like the WEF to promote their agenda. Musk works largely independently to promote his own contrasting vision. The area of censorship is a good example where Soros fights for the WEF vision of controlling the narrative through censorship, while Musk fights for free speech for all and against censorship.

Let us know what you think after becoming medically bankrupt. Every thing you worked for gone. Most of us are just one major diagnosis away. You have a policy, but they can deny any part of it at any time. Just when you need it.

What is the generic symbol of healthcare?; The caduceus

What is the caduceus?; Not what they tell you.

-And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

“If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.“

No medical professional, hospital, or copious amount of insurance are able to save anyone. If we are to suffer in the flesh, it is written we are blessed. As Christ suffered, so too shall we. The servant is not greater than the master. It is for our own sake, said the Lord, that the garden brings forth thorns.

Enforce the laws we have.

Round up criminal element and ship them off.

Offer paths to citizenship for others that include learning our established principles of government, and the English language.

Monitor the border proactively, not retroactively.

But who are we kidding, the government will not get anything done. Everyone in government, uses the government to their own individual benefit. They are too busy lining pockets and trying to figure out the best way to shank each other. The American citizen is their last concern.

Apparently Musk wants to own us all. I wonder what he expects in return for these large contributions? He owns trumps a$$. Wonder what he wants?

The trick in getting rid of the Venezuelan illegal aliens is that the socialist tyrants running that country don't want them back. If econoimic leverage does not work with them, then we should send our navy and marines to seize one of Venezuela's coastal islands and deposit the returned illegals on that island with sufficient food and water.

Comrade Stein is an amnesty whore, and, yes, he may need to be taught a lesson by Homan.

Big Bob: As a Leftist, you sincerely have NO idea what it means to be a real Republican.

BC voters tend to vote republican. They do not tend to vote nut job republican.

The BO seems to think voters can’t tell the difference.
