Resurfaced Democrat Debate Clip That Kamala Harris May Regret

She isn’t a radical leftist, but a full on communist. At least Sanders is honourable enough to admit it…

Obama’s ā€œAffordable Care Actā€; Medical insurance rates went UP after his stupid-ass legislation got passed… It made medical insurance LESS affordable for millions of Americans…

Immediately cancel Congress’ special Medical Care… Make them use Obamacare…

The scariest words in the English language today: ā€œI’m from the government and I’m here to helpā€ā€¦

Instead of terminating the Affordable Care Act, former President Donald Trump is now promising to make it ā€œmuch better, stronger and far less expensiveā€ if he wins the presidential election in November.

ā€œI’m not running to terminate the ACA as crooked Joe Biden says all over the place,ā€ Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social on Thursday, echoing a message he posted last month. ā€œWe’re going to make the ACA much better than it is right now and much less

Trump is now making many promises to improve the Affordable Care Act, but once again he has not said much about how he would actually accomplish that goal. And it could prove even harder since the Biden administration has reversed many of his actions and the law has become even more popular since Trump left the White House. A record 45 million people now have coverage through the Obamacare exchanges or Medicaid expansion, two central components of the law, according to the Biden administration.

It is well known that private industries are able to get laws passed in their favorite.

Over One-Third of Congressional Members Held Significant Health Care-Related Financial Assets

Due to their role in shaping health care policy, lawmakers should divest from assets while in office, Penn Medicine

PHILADELPHIA— Revelations that some members of Congress, including members of key health care committees, hold substantial personal investments in the health care industry have raised concerns about lawmakers’ financial conflicts of interest and their potential impact on health care legislation and oversight. Now, a new study shows that over a third of all members of Congress held health care-related assets with a median total value per member of over $43,000 between 2004 and 2014.

Using personal financial disclosures for members of the House and Senate over that 10-year period, researchers found that while members of health care-focused committees and subcommittees in the House and Senate held health care-related assets at the same rate as other members of Congress, multiple members of these committees and subcommittees held hundreds of thousands of dollars of health care-related assets during their committee service.

ā€œAll members of Congress have the opportunity to vote on health care policy that impacts the lives of all Americans,ā€ said lead author Matthew McCoy, PhD, an assistant professor of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. ā€œWe should hold members of Congress to a higher standard and expect that they divest from assets in industries directly affected by their committee work to preserve the integrity of their policy-making.ā€

At the start of the sample period in 2004 across both chambers, a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats held health care-related assets. However, party differences diminished over time. In 2014, there was little difference in health-care related asset holding by party in the House.

ā€œGiven that making policy changes in the health care industry could impact any investments a member has, their voting could be biased toward their own financial gain,ā€ added senior author Genevieve Kanter, PhD, an assistant professor of General Internal Medicine and Medical Ethics and Health Policy. ā€œIn order to understand the significance of these financial holdings and the importance of disclosures, there needs to be more research into how these financial assets actually influence policymaking.ā€

@SmallPaul Another great reason to vote for Orange Man Bad… In November… The US Medical industry is appalling… It’s almost as bad as the Heath Industry in the UK…

Affordable health care is a major issue for aging populations in the western world and In both countries it’s a case of ā€œhow healthy can you afford to beā€¦ā€

Australia has one of the best health systems in the world… Medical care is built into our taxes… And is FREE for all… Even Specialist care is relatively cheap…

The United States ranks 69th!! and UK ranks 34th!! most affordable… So both have much to learn from more organised countries…

Trump backs out of ABC debate vs. Harris, pushes for Fox News instead

If you want to know why mainstream media died… Watch this… Weaponized journalism should cause concern… The ABC debate got cancelled when Biden dropped out…

Trump had to concede to every DNC demand for the CNN debate… And still sent Joe Biden back to the basement… He did the CNN debate… Why can’t Kamala do the Fox debate?

I also remember CNN and the left saying Trump was scared to debate Biden… Where’s Biden now?

In a debate against Harris, Trump does not need a security blanket, Gabbard proved that in 2020…

ā€œI’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at allā€¦ā€ The former president wrote Saturday on his Truth Social platform… Trump doubled down on that pronouncement at his rally Saturday evening in Georgia, telling attendees, ā€œWe’re doing one with Fox, if she shows upā€¦ā€

ā€œI don’t think she’s going to show upā€¦ā€ He added, claiming the Vice President ā€œcan read a teleprompter but can’t speak off the cuff…" This woman’s comments cannot be unburdened by what has been…

Throughout the months you and Trump made fun of Joe Biden’s mental decline, and now you want to brag about beating him, There is nothing to brag about beating a mentally deteriorated person.

He did little if any to fix the problems you stated

It is lobbying that determines how far congress will go to support the people over corporate interests

  • In 2021, health care companies spent nearly $700 million on lobbying, the highest ever reported in a single year.

@SmallPaul Throughout the months many of us made fun of you and a few others cognitive blindness to Joe Biden’s mental decline… We could see it years ago… You chose to believe everything you were told…

@SmallPaul Not surprised… There was a lot of media hype about a lot of ineffective vaccines to go into a lot of gullible people…

Blatant lie, As I stated, There is nothing to brag about beating a mentally deteriorated person.

This election will be the same as Trump Vs Clinton.

Kamala Harris will win the popular vote and Trump will win the electoral college votes, making Trump the President.

Harris team launches GOP group with endorsements from ex-Trump officials, key Republican voices


Vice President Harris’s campaign launched ā€œRepublicans for Harrisā€ with more than 25 GOP endorsements, including former secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood, as well as former GOP governors and lawmakers.

The campaign announced Sunday that Trump-era White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye, ex-national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, also endorsed Harris.

Hagel, a Republican senator from Nebraska and Defense secretary, and LaHood, a GOP congressman from Illinois and Transportation secretary, both served under former President Obama.

Additionally, former Reps. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) and Susan Molinari (R-N.Y.) put their support behind Harris in November, along with Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who had endorsed President Biden when he was still at the top of the ticket. The vice president replaced Biden after the incumbent stepped aside last month following a disastrous debate performance and multiple calls from Democrats to drop out of the race.

ā€œI encourage other Trump administration officials who saw the tyrant we worked for in office to speak out and stand with Kamala Harris this November to keep integrity in the White House and ensure democracy for our country,ā€ Grisham said in a statement.

Troye added, ā€œThe stakes are too high to let partisanship jeopardize our freedoms and the Constitution.ā€

Republicans for Harris will focus on activating GOP voices ā€œto speak to their friends and family about the importance of voting for the Vice President,ā€ according to the campaign, which described the group as a ā€œcampaign within a campaign.ā€ The group will have kickoff events Monday in battleground states Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Other endorsements came from former GOP Govs. Bill Weld (Mass.), Christine Todd Whitman (N.J.) and Jim Edgar (Ill.), the campaign announced Sunday. It also highlighted that former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) endorsed Harris after backing Biden.

I was hoping the tablets would work for you Dennis but sadly you are still as sick as that narcissist you think is normal.
It is truly incredible that ā€˜adults’ still support this bully whose speeches are weird and dangerous.

This is all from Obamacare, which put the Health Insurance industry in charge of our healthcare.

The other big factor is we do not have enough doctors, the babyboomers are all now at retirement age and 50% of the doctors in the US are boomers.

A simple solution is to remove the government and insurance companies from our healthcare and go back to paying the healthcare provider directly

another interesting fact is the US is turning out 4 new lawyers for every 1 new doctor, this is not good

@Dennis3450 Competition amongst insurers can bring down the costs… Although even in Australia… Pricing collusion is regulated by ASIC closely…

I believe even if you are part of the Commonwealth (UK, Northern Ireland, Canada etc) you are eligible for free healthcare while in Australia…

Unlike the US and UK who a currently letting anyone across their borders… Australia generally only targets skilled immigration… So healthcare skilled migrants are sought to fill any shortfalls in the public health systems here…

We are currently having issues with Government funding of the Hospital system… Leftist Government’s have pis*ed so much money against the wall during COVID and building vanity infrastructure projects that only small demographics will ever use… They are cutting public funding to the health system…

Fortunately… This is having a huge negative impact on their re-election prospects… Even the lunatic fringe go into meltdown over health service cuts…

The Vice President’s Basement Strategy

The basement is a good strategy for Ms. Harris… Her honeymoon is all most over… In the words of Mark Twain ā€œIt’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubtā€

After all the pain destruction loss of property to ranchers at the border… She should be ashamed to show her face… The spin doctors keep saying it’s not her fault…

It’s going to be nay impossible for Kackle’s to find a way to convince voters why it is better to pay $3.50 for a gallon of gas instead of $1.70 when Trump was President…
