5,647,561 | [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] | Alright, let's move towards a market system, then! In Singapore and Switzerland, every single adult purchases their own health insurance, creating a huge, dynamic marketplace. The key word here is "every", since an insurance market with only sick people in it is worse than useless.
Under the ACA, half of all Americans have their employer do their healthcare shopping for them. Another 30% have universal "socialist" coverage (military, seniors, disabled), leaving 10% in the actual market. This is a major market distortion. Would you trust your employer to do your grocery shopping? Tell you which phone to buy? Do you really think they can put as much downward pressure on prices as you can yourself?
This is the problem with U.S. healthcare, both pre- and post-ACA, and the AHCA does nothing to address it. We cannot have a true market-based system as long as we have employer middlemen doing the negotiations for us. | 6 | You are make the conservatives point. OBAMAcare was designed to fail.

There's nothing astonishing about Mr. Kushner's meeting with Gorkov. Rather, it was totally mundane. Of the meeting, Kushner says, "There were no specific policies discussed. We had no discussion about the sanctions imposed by the Obama Administration. At no time was there any discussion about my companies, business transactions, real estate projects, loans, banking arrangements or any private business of any kind."
The gifts Gorkov offered, and which Kushner reported, were obviously intended to curry favour. Again, this is normal practice in both business and politics.

"Doc Buma returned to his native California and left the military in 2003. He became a police officer, working anti-narcotics, for almost 10 years. Ultimately, the flashbacks, the post-traumatic stress bested him and he retired as a cop about five years ago. He studied educational psychology, he said, as part of trying to sort himself out.
He took up co-hosting a podcast, Sick Call, in which he and a fellow vet talk about a variety of issues, including topics related to the military and law enforcement. In one recent episode, he talks about Khadr. It’s all part educating others, part therapy for himself, he says."
Sounds like Khadr played a role in a journey that has had a few bumps. I'd think that in a productive life, Omar might pay respect to those so affected by his actions.
Instead "Khadr has said he no longer remembers the firefight and would not comment on Bumanglag’s account."

5,663,875 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | Not buying your argument. As far as PTSD is concerned, my wife is in the counseling field and I'm well aware of how PTSD is diagnosed and treated. Viagra is typically not one of the remedies. There is a distinct mental health process that occurs in mitigating PTSD and Viagra is by far not one of the remedies. There are a whole host of medications considered before Viagra, but mental health counseling is THE primary remedy. Also, if you weren't aware, PTSD can be triggered from gender dysphoria as well, so you're actually making the case for transgender coverage if that's your argument.
Finally, cite the percentage of Viagra distributions that are related to PTSD-related conditions. Your assertion that it's only 100% distributed to PTSD-afflicted personnel is far-fetched at best. | 4 | What the posters gleefully tossing out that Viagra report miss is Viagra is used to treat a specific medical condition for a dysfunction, and that dysfunction can be a result of a service related disability, such as PTSD. So you are saying that men suffering from PTSD should not have Viagra covered, they should just deal and so what if it's just one more problem in a problematic life that resulted from serving their country. Quite a few service related illnesses have ED as a symptom, but apparently you think it should not be covered.
The study also compares cost for transgender treatment for active duty against DOD spending on Viagra which includes retired and VA.
What is also missed is that the Rand study is an estimate prepared before transgenders were allowed to enlist, and before last October when Carter decided that the military would pay for any hormones or reassignment surgery - elective procedures - not because of service related disability or injury. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45256178, 45363536, 45491609, 45454484, 45645228] |

Voter suppression is a very different animal. It is the systematically applied strategy of using every available tactic to keep people who have the legal right to vote from voting. It has been documented again and again across the Red States in our country. Tactics like "voter roll purges" wherein everyone having the name of a felon is removed from the rolls and has to prove they are not that felon in order to get re-registered. Tactics like having fewer voting booths in precincts which are "Democratic"; tactics like shortening hours, closing the polls even though there are citizens waiting to vote; tactics like refusing to have early hours so individuals can vote w/o having to take time off from work.

The democrats should jump on the "Fraud Commission" bandwagon, demand a key seat (I would recommend the chairperson) and demand Libertarians, Greens, and someone acceptable to all to represent Independents/non-affilitaed voters and given vice chairperson positions. Then turn the table on president Trump. But let's admit it, neither the democrats or republicans want safe, fair, and efficient voting for anyone other than their followers.

if some official described your actions in this manner they may be in error, wrong-doing is unacceptable, as is the elimination of Depts., qualified personnel, and funds for worthy programs instead of eliminating the fraud. such heavy handedness can be seen as mean spirited. | 4 | Some time ago I reported fraud to the City's Section 8 housing Dept. The landlord told me the water bill for the property, which he pays, had more than doubled. Although there was suppose to be only two people living in the house i discovered there were five. The renter was renting out rooms. I was told the Dept. had no one to investigate the matter. I contacted my council member and the mayor, but received no response, except they were looking into it. This situation continued for three years until the landlord died, and the beneficiary quit the Section 8 program.
The problem is the people running these entitlement programs, whether Fed, State. or City don't care as it is not their money. For there is always more, as there is a seemingly unending supply of money from shearing the willing sheep.
