Who pissed in your corn flakes? Wasn't me. I was trying to explain where your assumptions were wrong. And I say toodles to you, also too.

Meth is always the answer.

DahBoner, actually we were actively agreeing. Which is cool. But my next point was going to be about the poor folks that fall into the ACA "donut hole" but not now...

That is despicable. My father had dementia and was on Medicaid for 7 years and the state of Missouri did not attempt to recoup anything from me. They did, however, force me to cash in his life insurance, which was a bit painful as I had been his sole beneficiary.

You did right. I lived in Louisiana for 4 years and I never saw so many hard working people who had to live without health insurance and affordable health care. Unfortunately, if you live in Louisiana and do have health insurance, you still get bad health care.

You are assuming that this woman votes. I am frequently astonished at how many people never vote. In the 2014 mid-term elections, only 36.3 percent of eligible voters cast votes - the worst turnout in 72 years

The key words in your statement are "half-decent health insurance." Why can't all Americans get "decent" insurance? You are right about the ex-President of Mizzou - he "jerked" everyone and is not missed.

Evil is a good word. Also despicable. Also inexcusable.

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.

You are right, they want to kill you. You have three strikes against you - you are poor, you are sick, and you are female. If you are African American, add another strike. In their eyes, you are expendable.

In my distant youth, pregnancy was the punishment for having sex without a wedding ring on your finger. Only married women could get birth control in those days. Some doctors actually asked to see a copy of your marriage license.

The scheme only works for minorities. Most of the white scumbag criminals in my area never go to prison, they just give them probation and send them back to their communities.
