@mike_lustgarten @mcuban What a vile psychopath you are.

@mcuban It shouldn't be complicated How much does the procedure cost? Can you afford it? If yes, you get the procedure. If not, save your $ Get rid of insurance in this equation, which is a scam.

Single payer COULD cut cost and improve care but there are 2 fundamental issues. 1. All plans proposed have placed the Sec of HHS in charge of the program. You can't have a political appointee in that position and it's hard to de-politiicize HC in this country 2. They assume that they can get providers and specialists to accept whatever rates they set. You are talking about organizations that in most cases, don't even know their costs. Why ? They don't want to know their costs. For lots of reasons to long to dig into here Proponents of M4A have to first get hospitals to the point where they can define all their costs and do a Bill of Materials for procedures. You can't negotiate a price for all Americans if you don't know what your costs are It's Shark Tank 101. So we get a stalemate. Politicians don't do the work needed. Hospitals and providers avoid the work needed Other countries started on their path to universal care decades and decades ago. When healthcare was much simpler technically and fiscally. If senators won't support the Break Up Big Medicine Bill or anything comparable , there is no chance of getting to single payer. Our politicians don't have the backbone to do what is needed. You can call out all but Hawley and warren. No one else has uttered a syllable in support

@mcuban STOP making it sound like the US would have to start from zero without DOZENS of other countries to look at for examples.

@RonFilipkowski She could offer them all handjobs, but Miss Lindsey will pass.

Bobo has demands.

@CBP <Sales of 31 foot ladders intensify>

Construction of the border wall system is underway near Sonoita, Arizona, featuring black-painted, prefabricated bollard panels. This border wall section within the Tucson Sector is aiming to curb illegal entry and smuggling. The wall works! Expansion of the border wall will further enhance our nation’s border security.

@ElementasSeries Oh FFS, the number of pages can be modified by the font size, kerning, etc.

Someone found out my first book is 277 pages and said, "Books less than 300 aren't worth my time." I've read many fantastic reads that were less than 300 pages. How sad to miss out on good books because of a page count.

@yinyang_yo_ Builders don't build those smaller houses, they're not as profitable. Even when plots are small, they build as close to the edges as possible. Reaching out and touching the house next door from your bedroom is "fine". Your "system" is broken and has been for MANY decades.

"Property taxes will push grandma out her house!" The way the suburban model was supposed to work is that retirees sell their houses to downsize, and younger working professionals buy their house This was supposed to help drive support for the development of smaller houses

@PNH471945 @Jbn3ex And got spit on, and called names, and dealt with Agent Orange issues, and a VA and other organizations that tried to forget you existed, and... No problem!

@Jbn3ex At its peak the draft called on 8-10% of young men, not great but then again if you survived you lived through the most prosperous time and place in history

>age 20 in 1967 I think youre forgetting about something here

@ASH_Harajuku @Jbn3ex You really have no clue about how many do today, do you? It's not "Only 25%", ignoramus.

@Jbn3ex Only 25% of Vietnam War soldiers even saw combat btw.

@AtlRey So you're a far-right Nazi wondering what to do? I could recommend some things, but I don't want to lose my account.

My political journey: 1. Grew up Democrat 2. Started to despise Democrats 3. Became a Republican 4. Started to despise Republicans 5. Became Tea Party 6. That ended - I went silent 7. Trump came - I became MAGA 8. Voted Trump 3X - felt at home 9. Now I'm watching MAGA change 10. Wondering next steps

MAGA aren’t drawn to Trump because he is smart, competent, or “Christian”. They are drawn to him because he tells uneducated, insecure, angry people that their stupidity, ignorance, and racism are actually strengths.

@Acyn Rick "The 5th" "Medicare Fraud" Scott has "thoughts".

Rick Scott: The average net worth of a Democrat Senator is over $3 million and they are okay with TSA agents not getting paid.

@USDA So you're going after all the "Product of USA" coffee vetbros, right? Because they're NOT getting the beans from Hawaii.

When you see this label, it means exactly what it says.      Born here. Raised here. Harvested here. Processed here. 🇺🇸      No shortcuts. No exceptions. No confusion.      That’s Product of USA. 🔗 productofusa.gov

@ReallyAmerican1 The tests they keep doing again, and again, and again, and...

@ReallyAmerican1 This coming from the complete fuckwit that thinks he's "acing" his tests.

BREAKING: Trump disparages Kamala Harris’ intelligence and challenges her to take an IQ test to prove her competence. No president has ever talked like this before.

@covie_93 Is he in the Trumpstein files eating them?

Are they all pedophiles??

There were only 10 documented illegal alien voters out of 2 BILLION American votes (according to the right wing Heritage Foundation) but do go on about voter fraud you lying fascist assholes

@seanhannity @GavinNewsom You're such a fucktard and suckup that you even use Shitler's word, "obliterated". Neither of you obviously know what the FUCK that word means. The fact that they're asking for TWO HUNDRED FUCKING BILLION DOLLARS *just* to continue in Iran means "obliterated" doesn't apply.

.@GavinNewsom you do make me chuckle. Not only are you the worst no show governor in the country, you're also the dumbest governor in the country. In case you're not watching the news because you're too busy tweeting, traveling the world, stalking me and President Trump and writing a book no one will buy and podcasting - Irans military and its nuclear program have been obliterated. Trump did what every other democratic president you supported promised to do, but never did. The world is a safer place.

@McFaul Even IF all the rest was accomplished (it won't be), "& the end of support for terrorists forever" is a pipe dream. He's GROWING the terrorist ranks with this fucking idiocy.

I opposed Trump's war against Iran. There was no imminent threat to the US. All other means of achieving US objectives were not exhausted. He did not consult with Congress. But if Trump's war produces democracy in Iran, permanent nuclear and missile disarmament & the end of support for terrorists forever, I will praise him.

@_robyn_smith The only safe permanent moon base is DEEP under the surface. It will cost more than that.

Why does it cost less to build a base on the moon than high speed rail from sf to la

@revenant_MMXX @myotarditis You know you actually have to take care of them until they're old enough to do "their own thing", right? You can't be a Boebert and let a feral 2yo wander the streets.

@myotarditis Kids don't need your attention every second of every day. As long as you have a good trust-based relationship with them and their needs are being taken care of, it's okay to take a break and let them do their own thing.

Stay-at-home moms easily have more free time than anyone who works a full-time job and it's not even close. Kids play independently, they nap, they aren't nearly as much work as Big Mom pretends they are.
