They’re trying. (Kaiser just settled for $556 Million.) Not only this Administration, but previous as well. I remember suits against United Health Care, Aetna, and multiple others through the years to the tune of billions. Again, the entire system needs to be ‘rejiggered’. [Hidden Content]

It’s okay. The term ‘racist’ gets thrown around so much nowadays, I thought I’d just remind people what racism really was, and that it can be practiced by all—even within their own ethnic group.

Probably not. There was no personal attack in the post you quote. The truth just hits hard.

I can’t say for certain. What I can say is that no one I know that’s on Medicare A/B/D has had benefits cut. They had a small price increase. No benefit cut.

Correct. A ‘discount card.’

Any black person who voted for Obama practiced racism. They voted for him because he looked like them. They thought he understood their needs better than someone who didn’t look like them. They were wrong. He actually had very little in common as a shared life experience with any of them. They thought he had the same characteristics as them because he looked like them. They assigned him traits because of the color of his skin that he didn’t possess. This is the very definition of racism. Period.

Trump pharmacy is no different than a coupon center for those that don’t have insurance. Think GoodRX.

Why should he offer something to a for-profit entity that’s already gouging the public, and rife with fraud, to help them maintain a profit margin?

How? The Administration has no input on services provided that go above those guaranteed under standard Medicare. All the extra bells and whistles most of these plans provide are based on their profit margins.

Medicare Advantage plans are privately run.

I gave it 2 days in the news cycle. Generous.

I think there’s quite a few people in that boat. It’s a mess.

Bush Jr. was the last POTUS I felt good about my vote. I didn’t agree with the war, as history has shown there’s no winner in a religious war. But, he was the last elected POTUS I voted for that I thought had some character. I voted for Romney (who wouldn’t have left us with the ACA, was very astute with financial matters, and also wasn’t the fool about Russia that Obama was), and Gary Johnson because of wanting to address the national debt and personal freedoms. I voted—but not for POTUS—the last elections. Couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger for any candidate.

This is actually incorrect, and has been a fallacy for many, many years. Almost 60% of the American public (working and retired) participate in the Markets either through stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other investment vehicles. [Hidden Content]

Pretty sure Robert Guillaume (RIP) was totally miffed he was selected to voice Rafiki in Disney’s The Lion King. One of my personal favorite actors Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP) (The Green Mile, Armageddon, Sin City, etc.) probably vehemently fought against portraying Attar in the Planet of the Apes franchise. How dare they portray monkeys and gorillas! Don’t we think this kind of ‘racism seeking’ has gone on long enough? I can pretty well promise you if you’re looking for it, you’ll find it. I have no idea what happened with this episode. Honestly, I never even saw, or watched the video. That’s how much it impacted my day. I’m sure there will be something new 2 days from now. This story probably has about that length of legs. Then, it will be on to the next catastrophe. I didn’t vote for any of the last 4 (Trump 2x) POTUS. I didn’t vote for any of them for a reason. Frankly, they were all crappy in my mind. I try my darndest to just look at policy. I’ve gotten to the point where I put more emphasis on local elections. I at least feel like my vote counts.
