  1. This is middle school, but same issue. Liberalism is a mental disease. 7th grader suspended for 10 days for "liking" a picture of an air soft gun on Instagram. [Hidden Content]

  3. Beaumont re-elected one ousted trustee and the son of another. If the state removes you from your job, how can it be legal for you to run again? [Hidden Content]
  4. What's so wrong with this? HERE'S HOW THE HOUSE BILL WOULD CHANGE HEALTH CARE FROM THE CURRENT LAW, by Kevin RyanREPEAL - The American Health Care Act, if passed by the Senate and signed into law, will dismantle most core aspects of ObamaCare, including:The employer mandate and penalties for not insuring employees who work more than 30 hours a week at companies with more than 50 employees are repealed.The individual mandate and penalties for not having insurance are repealed.Obamacare's expansion of Medicaid will effectively be reversed in 2020 when the federal government stops funding it. States that have not already expanded would not be allowed to do so, starting immediately.Obamacare's income-based subsidies are ended.The 3.8% tax on investment income is repealed.The 0.9% tax on higher income Americans is repealed.The tax on medical devices is eliminated.The tax on prescription medications is repealed.The tax on health insurance premiums is ended.The tax on Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) is repealed.The tax on tanning salons is repealed.The tax on retiree prescription drug coverage is repealed.The tax deduction on expenses exceeding 7.5% of a family's income is reinstated (Obamacare had increased the threshold to 10%).Obamacare's prohibition on using Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account (HSA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines is repealed.The tax penalty on withdrawing money from Health Savings Account for non-qualified medical expenses is repealed.State Medicaid plans will no longer have to cover some Obamacare-mandated essential health benefits.Planned Parenthood funding is eliminated.KEEP - The law will keep several features of Obamacare:People with preexisting conditions cannot be denied coverage. The measure would provide states with federal funds to help set up high-risk pools to provide insurance to the sickest patients and to help those with pre-existing conditions pay for insurance.Dependents can still stay on their parent's health insurance plan until age 26.Insurers are still prohibited from setting annual and lifetime limits on individual coverage.The "Cadillac tax" on generous healthcare plans will remain, but be postponed from 2020 to 2025.Current Medicaid enrollees will be grandfathered in when the federal government stops providing the extra federal funds that allow for expansion in 2020.REPLACE - The replacement part of the bill includes several major changes to existing law:Obamacare's income-based subsidies are replaced by age-based tax credits of $2,000 to $4,000 per person per year, increasing with someone's age. The credits would start to phase out for individuals earning $75,000 and households earning $150,000, and would be unavailable for individuals who earn more than $215,000.Although the annual penalty for not having insurance is repealed, people who wait until they become sick or let their coverage lapse for more than 63 days can be charged a 30% surcharge on premiums for one year when they do finally sign up.The amount people and employers can contribute to tax-free health savings accounts will double.Private plans are still required to offer ten essential health benefits, but states can now opt out of the requirement.States will now be able to opt out of Obamacare's mandate that insurers charge the same rates to sick and healthy people.Under Obamacare, insurers could only charge seniors up to 3 times more than they charged young people. The new law changes that restriction to 5 times more.MEDICAID REFORM - The GOP bill would also significantly overhaul the Medicaid program.The bill would end Medicaid as an open-ended entitlement and would put the program on a budget.States would receive an allotment of federal money for each beneficiary, or, as an alternative, they could take the money in a lump sum as a block grant, with fewer federal requirements.States will also be able to require able-bodied Medicaid recipients to work, participate in job training programs, or do community service.The Congressional Budget Office projects that bill would cut the federal government's spending on Medicaid by 25% by 2026 as compared to current law.SOURCES: [Hidden Content]
  5. RN is one of the most high-demand jobs in our area. I can make a few calls right now and have him multiple jobs lined up for next week. He would have to be out of work for over a year in order for your family to force me to pay for your Obamacare. If he is an RN and out of work for that long, he wasn't truly looking for work.
  6. I work. I can't afford to pay $30k a year for insurance so I don't have it. What about me?
  7. Are we doing this again? I call you out and you run and hide? You've admitted multiple times on this site that both you and your husband are RN's yet somehow make less than the $52k a year combined so your family can qualify for Obamacare. Either you are the 2 lowest paid RN's in the state or you are committing insurance fraud. Which is it?
  8. Like quoting 100 bible scriptures in a topic about Health Care?
  9. Romero strikes out the side after a leadoff walk. Tied 1-1 headed to the 9th
  10. Those damn Russians are at it again...
  11. That's cute
  12. He's trying to be the most hated player in the league before he even gets drafted.
  13. NO way that was born a female. Sorry for posting the pic, but I didn't want to be the only one that had to see that.
  14. I voted for Neil Gorsuch and hopefully a few more over then next 7+ years.
  15. They were owned by the Saudi's before then partnered with Shell and took a 50% stake. Shell is a Dutch company so neither were American owned anyways. I like reading the idiots on FB blaming Trump for this. This has been in the works for years.
  16. The games I've attended over his time at A&M, he always caught my eye with the things he did that don't show up on TV or in the stat sheet. He was one of the team leaders even though he wasn't a starter. Sezer led the team out on the field and led the team in prayer before the games and you can tell was truly looked up to by the younger players. Not everyone can be a superstar 1st round pick, but every successful team at any level needs players like Alex. Best wishes to him in his future. I have no doubt he will be successful in whatever ventures he decides to take on.
  17. Pop matched up Leonard on Harden and Kawhi shut him down. Pop may be the best there ever was and that makes me nervous going forward.
  18. 3 very impressive wins over Texas the last few days. They go for the sweep today. 4 wins would match their season total from last season against the Rangers. This team is fun to watch!
  19. All of my friends at Motiva that I have spoken with are happy with this. They seemed to like it better before Shell got involved.

  21. Did he not post his Core Values on the wall in Florida? [Hidden Content]
