    Yes. I’d go to the VA if I wanted to die. Besides, my wife still has to have coverage. We still would be dealing with ACA. She doesn’t qualify for Medicaid automatically for disability because she was diagnosed with Cortical Basal Degeneration vs Progressive Supranuclear Palsy even though they can’t know for sure until an autopsy. If diagnosed with PSP, she would have automatically qualified for Medicaid because of the average life expectancy of 7 years.

    Very sorry to hear that, reason I asked is that for any veteran, I have always felt that the best private plans such as what you could have with a company should be available for veterans, choice of doctors, etc.  No veteran should have to jump hurdles like you are doing for good health insurance, you’ve earned it.  


    I also understand there’s the way things should be and the way they are, I just feel our government rewards those that don’t deserve it and ignores those that do, simply for votes.

    It’s why I’m not a fan.

    At going on 63, we’ve paid our share as well. We didn’t ask for the ACA. There were other ways to do things. But, that ship has sailed. Now, we don’t have a choice for 2 more years if we want any kind of insurance coverage.

    Understood, OlDawg, you are a veteran, correct?

    The people against it are either on true socialized medicine (Medicare, Medicaid) or employer based. You gripe about it, but you’re on socialized care with Medicare. You have no leg to stand on.

    Sorry.

    If you were over 60–but not yet 65–retired (either through choice or not), and needed insurance due to health reasons, you’d sing a different tune. You’d be glad you could get anything.

    Our ACA coverage has been better than any I ever had under my employers. It’s just expensive as crap. But, we’ve had zero issues with it. Even for high level experimental treatments for my wife’s Parkinson’s Plus.

    My gripe is that my employer provided insurance went up drastically when Obamacare kicked in.  The promises made about it turned out to be all lies, my insurance went up to subsidize others.

    I’ll be on medicare in the near future and I’ll still have a leg to stand on to gripe about this mess because I’ve actually been paying for it for over 40 years, even though I would have gladly opted out, but I  didn’t have the option, just like social security.

    Elaborate. Labeling a post as lies means nothing if you can’t counter. This has already been discussed and I really don’t care to argue it again.

    It’s the trend of the lefties here, and everywhere, give short dumb responses like this or bash the source, all while never providing a credible rebuttal.

    Like I’ve said before, lazy responses.

    He was sitting President.  He gave unproven advice.  How quickly do we deflect. I can pull up documents if you like?

    Pull them up if you want, I don’t care, I was there and witnessed the difference.  Your party colluded with social media to squelch advice that would have saved lives.  Your party kept businesses shut down and took the livelihood away from millions, and there’s no counting the mental health toll.

    No need to post your false documents, I along with many others were there, that’s a big reason that old fool was kicked out of the White House.

  7. No country has built and operated an independent military base on U.S. soil

    . However, allied nations maintain a significant presence for joint training and operations on U.S. military bases. 

    Recent events have sparked public discussion about these long-standing arrangements:

    In October 2025, a plan was announced for Qatar to fund and build facilities at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho to train its pilots to fly U.S.-made F-15 fighter jets. This drew public outcry from some who mistook it for a foreign base being established in the U.S.. U.S. Defense officials clarified that the base would remain under U.S. jurisdiction and ownership.

    The incident highlights that agreements allowing allied forces to train on U.S. soil are common and have been in place for years or even decades.
