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.

THere Bobbie goes again, pushing hatred of Israelis (Jews). Israeli Arabs are part of the culture of Israel, serving in government, in the military, and in all aspects of life. There is an Israeli Arab party in the Israeli parliament.

Where the left gets this ridiculous charge is that some Arabs in Israeli in 1948 either fouhgt against Israel or fled the country. These were no different that Tories in colonial America who fled to the UK or British colonies like the Bahamas after the American Revolution. They made their choice, and it may or may not have worked out well for them. Israel has no more obligatoin to those who fled in 1948 than the US did to those who fled after 1776.

Those Arabs, Druze, Christians, and others who have accepted Israel have been accepted by Israel and have the same rights as Jewish citizens.

In the case of Bigot Bob, just look at his old posts where he made excuses for Hamas' pogrom on October 7 of last year. Hamas repeated the Holocaust and Bigot Bob made excuses for them.

What the liberal Democrats were trying to do with both HillaryCare and ObamaCare was to gum up the system so badly that people would accept socialized medicine. They have indeed gummed up the system, and lack of competition in health insurance and health care itself has been a huge problem.

Here is an important comparison between health insurance before Obamacare and now. As Sean Hannity pointed out on his radio show this afternoon, claim denials by all the big health insurers including United Health Insurance were under 2% in 2013 before Obamacare kicked in. Now they are over 15% at most and with United Health Insurance at an astounding 31%.

I still do not think people want socialized medicine. Too many are aware of Canada's problems there where people die on waiting lists unable to get timely appointments. Many Canadians come to the US for medical care because they cannot get it at home.

The same is true with the UK's National Health Service, where Brits increasingly go to India to get medical care to get around the waiting lists at home. THere was an article recently in a British newspaper about how the NHS would send doctors to make house calls at migrant hotels in areas where it takes many months for a citizen to get an appointment.

Yes, we need to cut off the illegal aliens. Send them home for health care. Americans should not have to pay for interlopers who should not even be here.

Alan Dershowitz, the renowned Harvard Law Professor emeritus was on the radio today, pointed out the Jordan was alive, breathing and heartbeat, when paramedics arrived, that Penny had a solid self defense / defense of others situation, that Penny should have never been charged, and that Alvin Bragg is the worst DA in New York history. Dershowitz is a life long Democrat who voted for Biden in 2020.

I think Alan Dershowitz is a more credible source on how the law applies to these facts than leftwing internet troll Bobbie. That means that Bobbie's contentions are untrue, as usual.

Here is a positive sign. A bill has been introduced in Congress to award Daniel Penny a medal for heroism for his action to save those riding the subway from the thug.

With this dude as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, it was unclear if it was Mark Milley running the show or Miley Cyrus.

Chad backed out of the DEA job because conservatives objected that he was a Covid nazi who arrested a preacher for daring to hold a church service.

The freak show at the FBI is the present leadership, which led the majority of Americans in a major national poll to agree that the FBI had become "Biden's personal Gestapol". The FBI needs an ass kicker who will reform it back to what it is supposed to be instead of a political secret police.

I think Bobbie is the only one here who is engaged in the Gaia worship of the pagan climate cult of Climate Scientology.

Andreessen has been a mega-donor to Democrats including every presidential candidate for decades up until Kamala Harris. It is great that he has seen the light, supported Trump, and is spilling the beans on the totalitarian activities of the Democrats. The hyprocrites tried to call out Trump as a threat to democracy when THEY were the real threat.

The left is also debanking in Europe, but when they debanked Nigel Farage in the UK, he had a TV show and let them have it with both barrels. The bank apologized and fired their CEO.

When the school board hires, at the superintendant's recommendation, a school board attorney who lives two and a half hours away in Durham, do you REALLY expect him to have much oversight over things like this? And he is Democrat Party chairman in Durham, to boot?

Many Democrats are busy trying to explain why they lost, but our own woke troll refuses to do so. Maybe, he is just waiting for the higher ups on his side to set the narrative so he can parrot it? After all, most of what he posts is just parroting the woke narrative of the day.

Deflecting again, Little Bobbie? How about answering the question instead?

Is Bigot Bob too dense to comprehend that Biden is white???????

Jounrnalism and propaganda are two different things and the American MSM just does propaganda these days. If you want journalism, try the British print media.

And, for Bigot Bob, when he is totally at a loss for a response, he always plays the race card, dealt from the bottom of the deck.

Democrat attacks on Trump's cabinet picks are off the wall. Here is a great response from the Navy Seal who killed Bin Laden to the libs criticizing Trump's Defense Dept. pick: www.dailymail.co.uk

McConnell sold us out regularly to both Obama and Biden. He is a quisling of the worst order. Thune and Cornyn have been, at different times, his handpicked deputies and are no different than McConnell. At the same time, McConnell has repeatedly sabotaged conservatives. McConnell is the least liked congressional leader of either party in either chamber, because neither Democrat nor Republican voters like him.

Rick Scott will be a breath of fresh air. Please call or email Senator Ted Budd to support him. The vote is today. Scott is the only pro-Trump and pro-grassroots candidate.
