refugee from X cesspool. hopefully a surviving witness to Trumpocalypse 2.0. I block MAGA, if you voted for Trump you have nothing intelligent to say and I have no desire to waste a moment of time engaging with you. I don't care if it bothers you.
sorry, BUY insurance because I am not a selfish bastard.
but this is what Trump is advocating right now. the sick will be ruined, the healthy do better. it would be a total disaster for a huge portion of the population but they DO NOT CARE

i am not advocating for this at all, simply saying this is the GOP way of viewing healthcare. they only think of themselves. 50% of healthcare is used by 5%, 50% of US population uses only 3%, so half population uses 97% of healthcare.
even knowing I never needed healthcare I'd still by insurance

if you are young and healthy you can run the odds and likely be successful if you go without insurance. if you put $10k into an HSA and only paid out of pocket for yearly checkup you'd statistically make out well. if a catastrophe happened you would simply declare bankruptcy.

except that isn't true, by law you have to have car insurance to protect OTHER drivers if you are at fault in an accident. if I were young and single no way I'd pay that out of pocket. I never went to Doctor for decades only Dentist. I still had insurance. Only when I got older I did yearly checkups

sure, but I understand his frustration and he is basically saying he can risk going without insurance and save the money taking someone who would contribute into the risk pool, benefitting those with conditions. it is a LOSE LOSE situation for everyone. only winner is him if he stays healthy

these were 13 seats Republicans held prior to this election, as an example
2025 Elizabeth Guzman (D)
20,297 54.89%
Ian Lovejoy*Incumbent (R)
16,624 44.96%
2023 Republican Ian Lovejoy 16,032 52.19
Democratic Travis Nembhard 14,616 47.58
that is a huge swing in 2 years. Never say never.

Before Election Day, in VA Democrats held 51 seats in the House compared to Republicans’ 49, a slim margin. Democrats now hold 64 seats compared to Republicans’ 36 — the best position the party has held in decades.
this is what wave elections means. yes, no gerrymander but Dems flipped 13 seats.

but look at the map, look at district 11 with Asheville as an anchor for the Democrats. The GOP completely ignored the area after the historic flooding. I think it is prime for a flip.
And never say anything is uncompetitive. in VA Dems flipped 13 Assembly seats, many in "uncompetitive" districts

Districts 5 6 7 9 11 13 14 are all under R+10, meaning a wave election could place a few in jeopardy, especially district 11 which has Ashville in it and this is the district GOP ignored after flooding.

but some can win. the GOP in NC might have created a dummymander. they are relying on the map of 2024 when Trump way outperformed 2020 when Dems got 50% of popular vote. in 2024 they only got 42.80%. if Dems get over 50% they will flip a few seats and hold onto district 1.

he should have said "we have the talent but not enough workers to fill certain jobs available"

he is right that we do have to bring in "talent" ie skilled workers, has anyone looked at our healthcare industry? we have many foreign born nurses, Doctors, etc. who come here already trained. for whatever reason we don't produce enough nurses so we need foreign ones. he is still a moron though.

I imagine in 2026 Dems should flip 3 seats, possible even 4. Districts 1, 7, 8, and 10 if it is a wave election should all go Dems and even though Fitzpatrick in 1 survived other waves the demographics in 1 will finally catch up to him.

the GOP utterly ignored the PA Constitution for years and it wasn't rectified until Dems won enough seats on state Supreme Court. the House of Reps in a 50-50 state had 13 Republicans and 5 Democrats, after fair redistricting it was 9-9 in 2018, now it is 10-7 but Dems had a terrible 2024.

PA Constitution nailed it. The Commonwealth shall be divided into 50 senatorial and 203 representative districts, which shall be composed of compact and contiguous territory as nearly equal in population as practicable.
Unless absolutely necessary no county, city, town, etc shall be divided

I was below 400% FPL when I got it. As I said, it was fantastic, we never had cause to use it beyond vaccinations and the like but it gave great peace of mind. i guess the original configuration was all that could pass. my brother retired at 62 and went on the ACA and he is now 64 but his wife is 58

i used to have the ACA BEFORE the enhanced subsidies and I thought it was great, I got it when I moved back to the states and had no insurance. I don't understand why the original ACA is suddenly not enough. is it the more well off that are getting pounded?

maybe this is what Oz was really talking about when he said we will lose millions of pounds next year. they will starve kids and poor people, take away food choices; no Pasta, no bananas, no all varieties of food we can't produce (or produce well).

give JVL credit, he did write this: Boy, howdy, are you not going to like this. Not. One. Bit.
my only fear is the GOP would get rid of filibuster, then say goodbye to abortion rights anywhere, required ID voting, same day voting, abolish ACA. I have no idea how close they were but they could do it

they GOP would have outlawed abortion nationwide, they'd have required same day voting with ID's required, they'd have eviscerated SNAP, abolished the ACA. these are just the start.
so theoretically it could have been far worse.
