Example of Predatory Government.
Medicare Advantage is a Scam,
will deny coverage at their discretion
for profit.
Not only does gov. not protect US,
it promotes it in Medicare Handbook.

The Obscene Morbidly Rich do not measure their wealth
by how much they have, the Measure is
the disparity between Them and the Poor.

And to the measure, add degrees of cruelty.
Judging by results, the greater the measure
the greater the pleasure.

& whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt,
is like administering medicine to the dead,

Given the discussion about food banks and hunger in the United States, it’s worth noting Ottawa Public Health reports that 25% of families faced food insecurity in 2024. On average it costs $1180 (CAD) to feed a family of four.
ottawa.citynews.ca/2025/11/02/h...?

Healthy eating for family of 4 costs $1,180/month, many Ottawaans cannot afford it

Food insecurity continues to rise in Ottawa and across the country as wages do not meet the costs of basic needs.
