I don't live in NYC. Therefore, I don't give a damn what da do. I live in Calif. but want to leave ASAP. I have been here too long. I can live much better in Arkansas. A state I left in 1963, but now that is the promise land for this old man.

MA seems to be doing OK with their comprehensive healthcare program, on which Obamacare is based.

Perhaps, we should urge the progressives to implement their liberal policies. when all productive workers and companies leave, because of high taxes, the states of liberalism and relocate in REPUBLICAN states. Only then will the liberals realize that the free stuff just doesn't work. 150,000 middle class citizens are leaving California every year. Calif/Mexifornia has not realized that their state is dying.

Kemmer, let me help you with some history lessons. The government does not love you. The Health Department is not there to save you.

Most likely, before you were born, not so for me, President Eisenhower hired Nelson Rockefeller as Deputy Secretary of Health for his newly organized HEW (Health Education & Welfare Department). Next, he advanced Nelson Rockefeller to run Intelligence for Latin America where thousands-THOUSANDS pf N**i war criminals with their dossiers scrubbed, including many N**i doctors, entered the United States under the Health Department.

Please pay attention and awake from your Liberal la La Land stupor:

Background on Nelson Rockefeller:

Nelson Rockefeller Biography - IMDb Mini Biography By: Jon C. Hopwood

"Working for a Venezuelan subsidiary of his family's Standard Oil of New Jersey Co. piqued his interest in Latin America, and he learned Spanish. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, T.R.'s fourth cousin and another member of the New York-American patricianate, created the position of Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs in the Office of Inter-American Affairs for young Rocky after he told the president of his concern over N**i influence in Latin America. Roosevelt named Rockefeller the Assistant Secretary of State for American Republic Affairs, a new position in the State Department, in 1944....

PS Standard Old, owned by the Rockefellers, supplied N**i Germany with oil until the Capitulation.

"In late 1945, he resigned from the State Department and went back to private business. Five years later, he was tapped by President Harry S. Truman to serve as chairman of the International Development Advisory Board, which was tasked with developing a plan provide technical assistance to foreign governments. President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower gave Rockefeller the job of studying governmental reorganization, then in 1953, Ike appointed Rocky to serve as Under Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare."

"...In 1952 President-Elect Dwight D. Eisenhower asked Rockefeller to Chair the President's Advisory Committee on Government Organization...

"In 1954 he was appointed Special Assistant to the President for Foreign Affairs (sometimes referred to as Special Assistant to the President for Psychological Warfare). He was tasked with providing the President with advice and assistance in developing programs by which the various departments of the government could counter Soviet foreign policy challenges.

"As part of this responsibility he was named as the President's representative on the Operations Coordinating Board, a committee of the National Security Council. The other members were the Undersecretary of State, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the director of the Foreign Operations Administration, and the Central Intelligence Agency director. The OCB's purpose was to oversee coordinated execution of security policy and plans, including clandestine operations."

Today, HHS and the FDA have tried to run big Tobacco into the ground and out of business as RJ Reynolds develops new pharmaceuticals to cure diabetes, schizophrenia and Ebola, working with MERCK and the US Army. HHS under President Obama shut down the US Army's collaboration with Thailand's pharmacies to cure AIDS. Meanwhile, the American Lung Cancer Foundation is soliciting public funding for research through radio ads citing that 80% of lung cancer patients never smoked a day in their lives. So why the
Department of Health's war against tobacco? Do more B****s than W****s have diabetes, schizophrenia and Ebola? But instead, the Democrats open the borders to flood the Ghettos with poisonous drugs that the Minorities might perish all the sooner?

Kemmer, at what point do you become suspicious of government Healthcare?

Can you understand my concerns here?

What must I do to impress upon you the dangers of government run healthcare? I am at my wits ends. I reiterate: I'd rather pay a private practioner who profits from curing me than pay the Government that profits from k*****g me.

Not with a $12 billion surplus, it's not.

Thank you so much for this information. The left wishes for things based on how they feel about it. They don't realize until it's too late the consequences of their ignorance. Do you think Venezuelans were expecting what's going on now when they allowed their country to veer hard left? I don't think so either.

Trump envies Maduro, Erdogan, and Putin--if not Kim Jung Un and Xi.

fullspinzoo

This is why I don't pay attention to anything you say. So far from the T***H. Are you kidding me? Somehow, for some reason, I thought you were smarter than that. My bad! You're right up there with the other genius on OPP, Lonespell. Did you go to a Univ. and if so which one? Your statement is ludicrous and far-fetched, but typical. Maduro, and Putin, Kim Jung Un and Xi are c*******ts, more in line with far left liberal buddies Why don't you just line him up Hitler and Stalin and be done with it. If you had some problem with some of his policies and actually argue your case, I would listen. But your case is always in the gutter, he has big ears, Melania's shoe are wrong, Ivanka is low class, somebody has big ears. It gets old. So s**k of all your (and your ilk) mud slinging. Pretty much done with OPP. All I hear is a steady stream of bulls**t without any merit. Most of the morons on the left are too lacking in intelligence to make a strong logical case against Trump's policy. The murder of Kate Steinlen or Officer in N. Calif and 32+ others just doesn't matter compared to a good amount low-life migrants (criminals, MS-13 members, human traffickers. Anyway, done with you. Can't even make a strong argument against POLICY.

When you theorize, as you often do, you should preface your statements with "I think". You see if you said "I think Trump envies Maduro, ...", it would sound like you are actually examining the situation and making an "educated(?)" guess about something. Instead, you come off as a troll - who doesn't think at all. Just someone with a load of BS ready to spread it with little conviction.

kemmer

Trump acts as though he has no congressional constraints; he flies into a hissy fit when his personal wishes/whims are not carried out. He fires smarter advisors who dare to tell him "No!" He doesn't bother with daily intel briefings, and has fired aides he considers smarter than he is.
Draw your own conclusions.

It surely seems amazing that someone like President Trump, as stupid and unqualified as he is, with little help from congress, the media, his own party, etc. has managed to put the economy back in shape, increase the total taxes collected by the government in spite of a huge tax cut, force our allies to start paying their own way for the umbrella of protection we provide, knock unemployment for nearly every category of workers to levels never before seen, silence NKorea's threats, and push the i*****l i*********n issue onto the front burner after so many decades of kicking the can down the road!

What a complete failure! (#MAJORSARCASM)

Hey, you wouldn't approve no matter what he did. I know it's painful, but be t***hful for once in your life.

...and found a cure for cancer, speaks daily with God, has forbidden hurricanes this season, arranged for bumper crops of corn and soybeans this year, and has promised a $100,000 check to every citizen, after he's re-elected in 2020.

kemmer

Everything he's done is either flawed (the so-called tax cut) or will profit him personally. Get a clue.
