I honestly would like to know also, no kidding around. What is the platform, and positions precisely,

But how big is it if you remove the paid subscribers?

I am not wrong. If you are going to say I am wrong, support your position with at least one fact. MNCare is Alive, but I would say it's not doing well at all. People who could afford it (not just the poor) now cannot get it. MN used a sliding scale that went up to 275% of the Poverty Level, and it offered very good coverage with a low deductible. So, what happens if you exceed 200%? You were kicked off and paying double and in some cases triple, even with the subsidy, especially as it related to co-pay (which were zero under the old system). So, for many people, the working mom who sits just above the threshold gets screwed. For the record, yes, sometimes I enjoy poking the bear, and my humor is my primary method of communication. With that said, I am not a liar (like some arrogant poster stated), nor do I generally say things like this unless I know it pretty well, not because I lived there, but because I have some level of direct knowledge. One thing Ray taught me about posting. Don't state something as fact you do not know much about. I am wrong in life far more then right, and I have no issue being shown how wrong I am with data. People between 201% of FPG and 275% of FPG got screwed, no matter how you dice it, I know that to be 100% accurate. So no, I did not lie on either account.

Most drivers are dumb sh$!s

I am addicted to it

Reversal has bad anger issues

I am pretty easy going but that was kind of an aggressive dick head move, but each their own.

Lol point? A liar? Really? Ok

The question is, was his starting cash his or the Tax Payers lol......

Everyone has problems. The US Welfare system is broken, plain and simple. People on full assistance have nicer things than my kids. You go to Dunbar High in Fort Myers, and all you see are kids wearing Jordans, using iPhones, and so on. Of course, not all kids have that, but come on, you are choosing to ignore the reality that our systems are broken. When you all realize that neither side has a vested interest in you succeeding, you can start to do things for yourself. You are acting as though no transportation programs exist. Nearly all major cities and most states have (TAP) programs in place, and numerous non-profit organizations, such as the United Way, exist to remove the barriers you keep putting up for people. Do me a favor and dial 211 on your phone right now..

good

Free transportation makes it much easier to raid the suburbs

Wow, seems a bit aggressive and random. Bad start to your day?

A few: Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi (amazing perspective) The Unthinkable Revolution in Iran by Charles Kurzman (interesting insights) These two are post-revolution, but they tie a lot together. The Reign of the Ayatollahs: Iran and the Islamic Revolution by Shaul Bakhash This Flame Within: Iranian Revolutionaries in the United States by Manijeh Moradian Why did I have an interest in this? Wrestling, of course, Babak Mohammadi told me about how Iran was, why they left etc, it interested me over the years.

Along these lines, I suggest people read up on how the Iranian Revolution happened, from a political science and History perspective. I will leave it at that for people to come to their own conclusions.

From AI. But does anyone else see that pattern? For RV to say that unions are not powerful is just denying reality. $742 Million to influence themselves lol (kinda) Determining the "most powerful" union for lobbying is complex, as power isn't solely defined by spending and can involve factors like membership size, strategic political organizing, and influence over key legislation. However, based on reported political and lobbying expenditures, public-sector unions collectively spend the most money, with the National Education Association (NEA) often ranking as one of the largest individual spenders. Key Unions in Lobbying and Political Spending 1. The Largest Individual Spender The National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers' union, frequently ranks as one of the single largest labor union spenders on political activities and lobbying in the United States. In a recent reporting period (Sept. 2021 through August 2022), the NEA spent nearly $42 million on self-reported "Political Activities and Lobbying," plus millions more on contributions and grants to political organizations. 2. The Collective Power of Public-Sector Unions When considering collective political spending (including lobbying, campaign contributions, and political action committee (PAC) funds), the largest public-sector unions—like the NEA, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)—demonstrate enormous financial power. Collectively, these four major public-sector unions spent over $700 million on election-related activity in the 2021-2022 election cycle. This high level of spending gives them substantial influence at the federal, state, and local levels of government.

Fallacy = Obamacare made Healthcare more Affordable.... Simply not true, most Americans.

I support 90% of labor Unions or at least what they originally were designed to do, I support their initial mission. I do not support professional unions.

You may be on to something....

I am middle class (yes, the majority of us), mine is far from affordable, not even close, and the coverage we have is awful and expensive. So yeah, where did it make it affordable? The poor already had good health coverage. Minnesota had a great, scalable system called MNCare, which provided quality health care to all US citizens. Obamacare destroyed that program. Our insurance has been considerably higher since Obamacare. It is not working, do we need good HC yes, we can agree 100% on that, of any issue that should be bipartisan, this is it.

Great White Enjoy the Day!
