I dont see it as a bet against my future, I see it as a shelter from potential future debt for services that must be paid for somehow.

just as a safebelt saves me from potential physical harm
insurance protects me from potential financial harm

noone is forcing people to have treatments, Im not understanding your question maybe...?

but that still doesnt account for the issue of all those who HAVE to be treated even if they never intend to pay the bill,,,,of course there is the option to not receive treatment,, there is the option to own a car and never get it fixed if someone hits it too

but insurance just makes common sense for the 'what if' that can accumulate into such a costly expense when it piles up amongst hundreds of millions of people,,,

people should be able to a) contribute and b) receive

too many people are unable to do either

I dont think anyone needs to just give all the money to any group of persons, but I think all groups should have their basic needs as long as they are trying,,,,

I hope you will feel better soon,,,

relevance?

explain how someone can steal without taking

but taking is not a crime

and STEALING is


If I take the camera out of my desk, that is not illegal
if I take YOUR camera, without your permission, that is illegal
and called 'stealing'

if you kill in self defense, that is not illegal
if you kill without justification , that is illegal and called MURDER

in a perfect world, maybe

but in this world where accidents and illnesses arent planned
and where emergency rooms have a duty to help everyone

the government isnt forcing treatments, they are mandating that there is 1) a means to compensate for the expense of treatment when and if it occurs and as a consequence
2) an insurance that everyone can get healthcare, because they will have a policy which covers the expenses incurred

the expenses must be covered SOMEHOW
government already provides some of that to hospitals so they have a financial interest in it as well as a human one

when people get treatment to be 'billed', and those bills arent paid, those costs still have to be covered

so having a preventive measure in place, IN CASE of the unexpected and unwanted, is not only common sense, but it is a reasonable concern to the government which invests in the healthcare system,,,,

yes, but I think mine is reversed

I dont want to ask of someone what I cannot offer myself
because I feel I cant offer much right now, I pretty much exclude the option of 'developing' anything serious with ANYONE,,,


not that Im a 'dud'. but I know Im just not ready and would be interested in someone who is

and I dont wish to be a hypocrite,,

does dyslexia affect hitting a space bar or enter key occasionally?....lol

I think thats a great way to do things,,,teach them to fishfor life instead of just handing out a fish for one meal,,,,

this, is brilliance,,thank you

two people putting someone other than each other first, means when that someone is gone,, they have NOTHING to share anymore,,,,they will be lost

no, a relationship has to have balance, you have to make each other your first priority because that relationship has to last through effort and not mere biology ,, for a lifetime even after said children leave and have lifes of their own

BUT that priority doesnt have to be EXCLUSIVE or ABSOLUTE as there is obviously going to be times when there is a more PRESSING matter happening with the children that should distract temporarily from the attention you would normally give to your own relationship,,,

my 16th birthday, we had good music, plenty of friends over, a new boyfriend came by to give me a rose, and we watched 'purple rain' over and over all night,,,

lol,, best birthday EVER!!!

how do you possibly know you will never need medical assistance?

thats like my son saying he didnt want to get auto insurance because he was never going to have an accident......

Id like to teach women from a young age about self respect, to help decrease the incidence of 'unwanted' children and fatherless homes

ID also like to have a private community to help struggling single and two parent homes network and get on their feet,,,

I think poverty could be reduced greatly with better education and preparation

teach people to be not just 'productive' for someone elses gain

but teach them how to 'produce' something for themself, to be entrepreneurs instead of paid peasants,,,,,


two things that take both the community and the immediate family to occur,,,,

social security is not bankrupt, it is built upon trust bearing funds (something a supposed money genius like Trump should be aware of, considering he is a genius at bankruptcies)

medicare is likewise not bankrupt, it has four parts (a thru d), which is irrelevant but it is not bankrupt just the same

soc sec and medicare cannot go bankrupt due to congressional action, they are both a factor of DEMOGRAPHICS< both financially and socially

we have seen a growing number of SENIOR citizens and unemployed, which makes it difficult for people to PAY IN to the system,, this can change and usually has changed when such predictions were made before



Trump does anything for attention

the statement has so much fallacy in it I dont know where to start

nowhere does the bill claim there will be no new doctors ( a bill doesnt employ doctors by the way...)

the 16500 figure is over TEN years, or roughly 1650 employees per year ,,a small percentage of which are 'agents' but mostly clerical and customer service



the bill wasnt written by a 'committee', it went through two houses of congress where MULTIPLE politicians reviewed , revised, and edited it as well


Congress may or may not have read the bill, My money is that some congresspeople did and others didnt (we are talking about 535 individuals when we speak of 'congress')

The President QUIT SMOKING,,,

the surgeon general provides scientific information, her weight is no moreless at issue than it would be for a doctor who actually TREATS PATIENTS,, and I have seen healthy ones


a statement loaded with unsubstantiated opinions backed with no fact,,,,Trump never outdoes himself,,,

as a general rule : I trust until given REASON not to

and

I give respect automatically unless something is done to LOSE that respect

I know people generally either expect trust and respect to be earned or they give it automatically,,,,IM the latter,,,

I care about everyone, but am aware I do not have the capacity or resources to help everyone just because I care

I have to first take care of my responsibility to those children God personally blessed me with

on the occasions when others ask for help, and I am able , I do,,,,

he is the commander in chief, yes?

he is not the immediate boss of all the soldiers in every location around the world,, they have captains, sgts,,,etc,,,,

to do that job...

coming back? Definitely


soon? thats a subjective measure.......
