Medicare/Medicaid simply won't pay for treatments that involve high drug costs. That's where supplimental insurance comes in. That's why you don't see the real drug cost damage that ravages the savings of seniors.

More importantly, you'd trust a government that simply won't pay for those treatments .. won't pay those drug costs .. and shields Big Pharma so that those costs won't come down.

You're either very gullible, or you work for Big Pharma.

Nice try though.

But, like Mark Twaine used to say about lies: "There are lies, damnable lies, and then there are statistics'.

I see you like the government statistics.
What’s behind Obamacare?
Pellosi and Reid are pushing a rationed care system that targets kids and seniors.
We understand the senior part. But why kids?
The United Nations made child labor illegal in 3rd world counties. Poor families now view their kids as liabilities.
Our Science Czar, Holdren, goes further. He not only states that the fetus isn’t human, but that children aren’t even human. They’re sub-human.
Why?
Because children are the best source of donor organs. When little Polly gets ill, they don’t treat her. They let her die, almost, then wheel her into a back room to viva-section her alive so that Pellosi can finally get a new liver .. or new skin for a face transplant.
Oh, you don’t...

Let's see ... I've got a nasty case of PTSD, plus concussion damage to the brain .. so, If I go into the local DNC and do something extremely violent .. is this good, or is it evil?

I guess it comes down to whether you're a Democrat or a Republican .. right?

In short, I haven't heard this much BS in quite a long while.

I served in the Army and Marines .. I'm a combat Veteran .. I really do know the difference between good and evil .. I've seen guys snap .. and I've got news for you .. it's scary .. and nobody was standing around trying to psychoanalyze it when it happened .. we were too busy trying to stay alive.

Bottom line .. the guy who snaps goes with it .. he chooses .. and he chooses to put my life on...
Who needs controls?
Just allow Canadian pharmaceuticals into our markets and Big Pharma can't compete much less pull that kind of stuff.
Control Insurance companies?
Sorry .. just allow all companies to compete on a level playing field in all states, and watch the market flatten out the costs.
Insurance companies hate drug costs .. that's why they hate pre-existing conditions .. the drug costs .. so it keeps coming back to drug costs.
Allow Canadian drugs to flatten those costs, and the insurance market prices will fall accordingly.
The first and foremost control we need is the free market system. NAFTA sent your jobs out of country .. so show me a legal reason why Canadian drugs aren't allowed in from a NAFTA...

Most scientists DO believe in climate change .. just not this Hoax foisted off by the Greenies.

Climate always changes. There has never been an 'average' climate between any two ice ages. The weather has never been the same between ice ages. Therefore we cannot use the past to predict the future.
And, since NASA has used guesses rather than hard data to drive their weather model .. well, that's not science.
And since Carbon has been debunked as the culprit in Hot House engines, well .. you figure it out.
But, hey, go ahead and be proud to be the party that stands for pseudo-science rather than real science. It's just loads easier than doing the real science. You don't actually have to think responsibly.
By the way,...
Why do Dems complain about Bush padding Big Pharma when Obama immediately moved to shield Big Pharma?
Keep Canadian pharmaceutocals off our markets?
Why? .. the free market would make Big Pharma come down to true market value.
Pharmaceuticals drive the cost of health care, drive inflation, have bankrupted Social Security, and have bought and sold Congress, the Supreame Court, and the Oval Office.
Cut drug costs and Social Security will be solvent in no time without this 'emergency' cooked up by the Left.
Why did Obama shield Big Pharma?
You already know this one: 'Why waste a good crisis?'

Actually Hathaway, the top climate proponent at NASA, recently backed away because the so called science behind his stance was debunked. Carbon is not a culprit in climate change. It only plays a very minor role. Methane emissions are far more energetic in that respect.
But, when Hathaway backed off, a lot of the Greenies started running for cover .. a lot of reputations are being ruined even as we decuss this issue.
It's actually humorous watching our enlightened politicians still chirping the same tired climate tune long after the orchestra has fled the scene. But, then again, Holdron (our new science czar)is an ideologue who really could care less about real science.

The Orkney Islands, just north of Scotland, had a Mediterranean climate 5000 BC. This was 5000 years after the last ice age. Our modern world is actually much cooler now than then.
So what caused that warming cycle? It sure wasn't caused by humans. Was it cow burps and sheep farts?
Carbon credits allow companies to pollute, then pass the cost of their products and pollution onto us, the consumers.
Cabon Credits are a Greenie ponzi scheme .. with a crooked lawyer running the scam.
This is what happens when activist lawyers gain political power.

So where do you get your political marching orders? This is just a hunch, but you get them from the same guy as 'The Great Leader' .. a guy who majored in ballet in college, and was a pole-dancer at Barney Frank's inauguration ... okay, maybe 'marching' was the wrong metaphor here.
