@ArizonaDOT @iMrAnderson Maybe this person likes the name of a Mayan serpent god….

@iMrAnderson Thank you for reaching out. We will forward this to the MVD for review.

Just curious how this plate didn’t get reviewed by @ArizonaDOT
Let me know if you plan on revoking it.

I’m usually on your side on most things, but I suggest you look at socialized medicine around the world, specifically look across our northern border. Or, worse yet, look at the nightmare people going to the VA have to deal with. I have an insider’s view at how the system works, and often, how it doesn’t. Glad you are feeling better.

Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is.
So I will weigh in.
I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours.
My bill? $13,500 dollars.
Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount.
For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is.
But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is.
And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers.
On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500.
We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20.
Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings.
Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this.
And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie.
People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

@SenJohnKennedy Agree to disagree, still had to write an additional check for $3700 after having an additional $150 taken out of each check to support MN Learing Centers
English

@SpeakerJohnson IDK, I still had to send the IRS another $3700 to support MN Learing Centers

@WhiteHouse I’m not one of them, paid more than last year.

@WhiteHouse That $3700 came out of the check I had to send. Have an extra $250 taken out of each check and it still isn’t enough to fund all the fraud.

Watching officers get pelted with snow while they are out in brutal weather protecting this city should make every New Yorker furious. It is disgusting behavior.
And the politicians who constantly bash the police and refuse to have their backs are setting a terrible example. Leadership matters. Tone matters.
ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS must speak out and make it clear that attacks on our officers, in any form, will not stand.
Back the police. Full stop.

🚨BREAKING: Leader John Thune says he might NOT be able to allow a standing filibuster to pass voter ID and citizenship for elections because they don't have enough time
"We'll TALK about that IDEA and determine how they want to proceed."
"We will vote on the SAVE Act — but a talking filibuster has ramifications everybody needs to be aware of."
"We will have those discussions. That would tie the floor up, with unlimited debate and amendments."
"We have a lot we have to do."
80% SUPPORT THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
It’s time to send a LOUD message to the @SenateGOP .
If you believe Senate Republicans MUST bring the SAVE Act to a vote, drop a 👍 below.
Do you firmly support this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No

@TheChiefNerd Haven’t watched since the Cowboys were good, no reason to change now.
