Yet another American claims to be the richest man in the world but his country does not have Universal Health Care.

Pathetic.

Taxes pay for your fair share of what you use by way of government services or infrastructure and only that.

Everything else is theft by the Marxists of the world.

Obamacare encourages homosexuality, so it must go:
Some of these plaintiffs, for example, object to a requirement that insurers pay for pre-exposure prophylaxis (“PrEP”), drugs that are very effective in preventing the transmission of HIV, because those plaintiffs believe that PrEP “encourage and facilitate homosexual behavior.”

Why are Republicans so threatened by universal daycare?
Arwa Mahdawi wrote:Universal pre-school, paid family leave, subsidized childcare … who could possibly object to Biden’s plans to help children?

Free childcare equals class warfare, say Republicans

Joe Biden wants to spend big money on small children. On Wednesday the president announced an ambitious $1.8tn plan to boost family assistance programs, childhood education and student aid. If passed, the American Families Plan would overhaul the current (dire) childcare system and inject billions into universal preschool, paid family leave and subsidized childcare. It would be paid for by raising taxes on the wealthy.
Amazing.

Let me see...do the billions go to parents, or to federal-friendly educational institutions?

An everyday story of US healthcare – or how a visit to the ER can cost you $10,000
The fear of dying in New York was uppermost in my mind as my bruised foot swelled and turned black: I could never afford it

I had dropped my kids off at school and was lifting one of their scooters, when I turned sharply and felt something ping in my foot. It wasn’t much; a bad cramp, I thought, more painful than usual, which would probably wear off by the time I got home. I limped back to my apartment, took painkillers and put it on ice. By the next morning, the foot had begun to turn black. By the evening, the flesh was rising like dough. “Ew,” said a friend, when I showed it to her that night. “You need a pedicure. Also: you need to see a doctor right now.”

It’s either laziness, Britishness, or a strain of my general belief in denial, but in most circumstances I’d rather suffer than bother the doctor. In the US, this impulse is compounded by the knowledge that, however much you spend on health insurance, even the smallest engagement with the medical establishment will result in a cascade of bills. I’m still fighting with my insurers over a $1,000 charge from last summer.


Mainly, I’m aware, with weary resignation, that although the swelling has gone down and the foot is definitely on the mend, in other ways this is just the beginning. After an ultrasound, X-ray, blood test and patient transport all over New York’s premier hospital, I’m waiting for the inevitable $10,000 bill and the hours I will spend on the phone to contest it. It’s the story of American healthcare; the real pain starts now.
What a great system. America is really the no 1 country.

Supreme Court spares Obamacare from GOP challenge
Red states had urged the court to rule that Obamacare's "individual mandate" requirement is unconstitutional because the tax penalty for not obtaining insurance had been effectively eliminated by Congress.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/suprem ... d_ms_tw_ma

Avoiding technicalities, the states have no standing:
But in the decision, Justice Stephen Breyer said the states don't have standing to challenge the individual mandate "because they have not shown a past or future injury fairly traceable to defendants’ conduct enforcing the specific statutory provision they attack as unconstitutional."

The Supreme Court first upheld the health care law in 2012. The majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts said the individual was a legitimate exercise of Congress's taxing authority. But in 2017, the Republican-led Congress set the tax penalty at zero

The republicans are here to save us from government/socialism. Which would like to give us healthcare. But that would make us weak. And generate a lot of old people.
