Quick set of thought on homelessness. My post. https://www.epcodemparty.org/single-post/2018/07/09/Homeless-not-helpless
@UnTied @Hol312 Broad brush strokes as an example.
Actual cost of a "simple" appendectomy: $8-10k
Provider (hospital, surgeon, etc. combined) bills Medicaid $15k, gets paid $9-11k.
Same exact surgery, level of difficulty, surgeon, hospital, etc., but billed to private insurance (Blue Shield, Aetna, etc.) for $135k, and ins co pays $99k.
That's what drives up the cost of insurance. The premium pool is based on those charges, not Medicaid charges.
Oh, ave cost of same surgery in U.K.? $3-4k
'I mean, it’s stitched into the stars & stripes of this country, from the Constitution, to Gettysburg, to our motto, “E Pluribus Unum”, from many, one. It’s even in our country’s name – the UNITED States. This year patriotism shouldn’t just be about pride of country.
It should be about love. Love beyond age, disability, sexuality, race, religion, & any other labels. Because the second any of us judge people based on those labels, we’re not really being patriotic, are we?'

RT @[email protected]: The Dems, the #NeverTrumpers, the #DSA’s, the outraged, everyone cant get complacent before and even after November mid terms.
The deck is stacked for the GOP. They’re playing with house money and will use every trick to win...

@FireMonkey I figured it out after I looked up the acronym lol
Here's the deal Kidz, it's us vs them. You're with us or against us. Give no quarter. Take no prisoners. Protect the vulnerable. Kiss your lover, and hand them a weapon. Plume, pen or phone, firearm of choice, they're all fixing to be needed. I'm done. Flag upside down. 242 years of the republic isn't going down because I didn't act. I really do care. Don't you?

If civility were such a key cornerstone of the right, Heather Heyer would still be alive today.
Think about THAT while moaning about how Sarah Sanders couldn't get a bite to eat at a restaurant.
As uncle J has posted.
This is referring to the ‘Province of Zara’
