fwiw...nuclear submarines have been lost and are still sitting on the bottom of the oceans. not sure what effect they are having or are expected to have in the future. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/k19/radiation_main.html

another sport season ends without a coach getting fired. what the heck is happening around here?

the republicans are in control of everything. if they would rather have americans dying for lack of healthcare that is on them. The blood will be on trumps hands in that case.

Right now there is no motivation built into the system that gives the providers (hospitals/Doctors) to drop their prices. If a patient is told they need a heart surgery, they are scared and sign up for wherever their cardiologist tells them too. The insurance company doesn't have any motivation because if they start losing money, they just raise premiums. If the person qualifies, they just get subsidies from the government. The government has forced everyone to have insurance so their customer base just exploded. This system SUCKS!!! We have a wellness program in our company. Within that plan, if an employee needs that heart surgery, the wellness program will look at how much it is going to cost and then find comparable hospitals that will do it for much less. The patient/employee is not forced into using someone they don't want. They can then choose based on the cost. We will totally wave any deductible or co-pay if the employee decides on the lower cost facility. The wellness program also researches the quality of care at the facility so they are not sent to a place that won't do comparable work. Something like this has got to be built into the system for everyone. We have an employee who had a procedure done at an office not physically within the hospital. When they received their bill, the hospital charged them a fee. When asked, the hospital said the doctor who did the procedure had an office within the hospital so they are allowed to charge a fee.....even though the patient never set foot in the hospital. The cost structure and billing is totally screwed up to the point these places can charge whatever they want and get away with it. Our insurance company is trying to get more providers signed onto contracts. What some providers will agree to is to charge insurance customers "medicare plus 100%" So, if a medicare patient would be charged $1000, the insurance patient would get charged $2000. Now, you may scoff at that, but a lot of providers won't do these contracts because they are charging insurance patients sometimes 10-15 times medicare. Hospitals and doctors are NOT going to like being forced to charge less. But, there is no reason why a procedure should cost $80,000 in one place and $15,000 in another without the patient being informed. good luck getting the government involved in that process.

absolutely anything and everything that turns out well is trumps doing. everything and and anything that can be perceived negatively is obamas fault.

wth could they possibly know about healthcare compared to Trumps team?

has donnie claimed credit for the big wiki leaks yet?

I'm confused by this tweet. how do you know the flying spaghetti monster is real? CNN hasn't said a word about it yet.

i wonder if wikileaks can find trumps tax returns?

Because killing babies is abhorrentBut killing mothers and babies is cool? Show me the actual epidemic of pregnancies killing the mother, and I might reconsider my views. from zoogs p[ost earlier in this thread https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/02/21/us-life-expectancy-will-soon-be-on-par-with-mexicos-and-croatias/?utm_term=.6daba90c50cb Not so in the United States. “Notable among poor-performing countries is the USA,” the researchers wrote, “whose life expectancy at birth is already lower than most other high-income countries, and is projected to fall further behind, such that its 2030 life expectancy at birth might be similar to the Czech Republic for men, and Croatia and Mexico for women.” The reasons for the United States' lag are well known. It has the highest infant and maternal mortality rates of any of the countries in the study, and the highest obesity rate. It is the only one without universal health insurance coverage and has the “largest share of unmet health-care needs due to financial costs,” the researchers wrote. So you're not going to answer my question? That article had nothing on pregnancies killing the mother, only the life expectancy of men and women. I guess bolding and red highlighting the quote isn't quite enough for some people to notice.

according to the universal translator he means "Don't take that babbling old fool seriously"

Here i something very important about this argument and image the administration is trying to put out. That's one big fat lie/misinformation. The administration can't completely repeal the ACA because they don't have 60 votes in the Senate. So, they can only legally affect certain parts of the bill. What is in the little pile on the table is simply the legislation that changes the big bill. It doesn't REPLACE the big bill. So....much of what is in the big bill is still going to be there. So....in essence, you would need to combine the two piles on the table. a fwiw......that pile is only phase 1. phase 2 and phase 3 are still to be written.

Nice blanket statement, but wiki and trump aren't actively trying to kill those that disagree with their ideology. who is actively trying to kill who? ISIS is trying to kill...everyone lol....you implied someone other than isis.

What does this have to do with Trump? a giant crooked global corporation? what doesn't it have to do with trump?

Are they still keeping the death panels to decide who gets on the train? of course they will finally set up those panels

coming to a city near you...Donnies Death Camps!!! trains leaving soon. allll abooaaard!!!

Breitbart? the propaganda machine of nazis and kkk members? nice.

everything bad about trumps bill is obamas fault. everything else is bigly good

wikileaks and donald trump are doing more damage to the united states than ISIS could ever hope to do.

a $500 iphone is nothing compared to the cost of health insurance now....and he is implying with this statement that costs are going to go up. i thought trump said trumpcare would cost less and cover more?

fwiw...he will increase corporate values by a lot with him deregulating everything and slashing their taxes. how could a company not profit from less labor laws, less taxes, and fewer regulations to comply with? of course there will be a price for america to pay for the larger corporate gains but the people won't mind

it's a good thing the CEO's don't have kids or grand kids that would like a clean glass of water to drink or clean air to breathe in the future. all those $$$'s might be able to make up for those small things.

so it's all just a diversion from the russian involvement investigation?
