Why harsh words in the time of death?

I'm with you - I think the answer lies in expanding Medicare/Medicaid somehow. I don't know how, and it is going to be difficult, but hopefully someone smarter than me can figure it out.  

Voluntary Medicare buy-in has been looked at for decades.  Allowing people in the 50-64 age range to voluntarily buy in has generally shown to have the opposite effect of what researchers thought.

Basically, people in that age range are being overcharged for the services they use, and when they leave the individual marketplace, those who remain insurance costs rise dramatically, while Medicare premiums and costs rise only minimally—if at all.

The younger, sicker people are the ones left on private markets.

I knew obumercare wasn't going to be any good.  How did I know?  When it was passed -- Congress exempted themselves from it!  That tells you all you need to know!

Trump said he doesnt forgive. So maybe he should read this verse

Reiner was a Jew. Since you have shown support for Hamas and “Palestine”, shouldn’t you be cutting cartwheels because a Jew is dead (oops, unalived)? You truly have no conviction in your life. Why the $4 million bond? I thought the libs were for no cash bail. If he was murdered (oops, unalived) by an illegal, would you have him deported? It’s a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state, so NO. Please answer all of these questions for me. It’s so confusing to follow the liberal mindset. It seems to change daily, or is it just to fit the situation? Reiner was a huge liberal, so let’s let his son off with a slap on the wrist and probation. It’s the way he would have wanted it.
