Where do you think health care providers will pass that cost on that gets "negotiated " down? They certainly don't eat it-when someone with no insurance has a $1,000,000 cancer treatment bill reduced to $600,000 and they don't even have $6,000 to pay the rest of the system (everyone else) absorbs the cost. $50 Tylenol is nothing new, I recall that phrase being used an awful lot before 2010.

But I thought Donny had a bigly awesome beautiful healthcare plan already figured out during the campaign that would provide wonderful cheap healthcare to all on day 1?? Oh yea, he outright LIED to everyone and none of you seem to care. He never had a plan, didn't and still doesn't have even a fundamental understanding of the system, and you guys are ok with that. That's the real problem. I wonder if he actually has a wonderful plan for tax reform, infrastructure, etc....
You really aren't that dense are you? They are overcharging the insurance companies plain and simple. Do you think they will do a procedure for a loss? If they don't have to run a bunch of paperwork through insurance and just get cash, they can do things much cheaper. It's all the Bureaucracy that adds a huge cost.

Yea, yer right. I mean I'm sure there's at least $57k in paperwork on a $60k procedure to get money from insurance... sending out collections notices and chasing bad debt is nothing.

Of course they are overcharging, thats the nature of a for profit system with no competition. but to think they still make money getting $3k outta a $60k bill is ignorant. Every time that happens you pay for it.

But since this is about the pres and not specifically health care, how about donnys admission to his campaign working with the Russians this morning on twitter? Rather than say sessions didn't do anything wrong he comes out and says "stupid leakers, stop exposing our crimes". How does he come up with this sh$t?

It is beyond a fact that the younger generation as well as the older brain deads have no clue what true socialism is or the mark it has left on history. It makes me realize that they have not researched the socialist countries of history with ALL their failures and hardships upon their people.

If you actually knew half as much about authoritarian governments as you say you would know that the first and most important step to gaining and holding absolute power is to discredit and control the media. It blows me away that guys like you who probably still call French fries freedom fries will stand back and let this orange buffoon stomp all over the most important aspect of a functioning democracy. You think they have a few press in North Korea or Venezuela? Donny is working very hard to ensure that the only news out there is praising his every move. That should scare the sh$t outta everyone, especially the far right small govt types. But everyone is just acting like sheep, do you all say "baaaaaah" when lined up in yer maga hats going to a trump rally?


The release of Jr's emails and donnys own admission of the fact that sessions talked campaign issues with the Russians (by calling out the leak) seems to show that maybe, just maybe, what he calls fake news might not be so fake at all... and that's just the last couple days.

Who the hell says who the hell to a bunch of Boy Scouts? And then spends half his speech talking about how great he is and rambling on about politics when he is supposed to be giving an inspirational speech about THEM? What an awesome role model, you guys must be so proud of your great embarrassment-I mean, uh, leader...

I better not get censored for writing hell on here, after all the president said it to 40,000 (record attendance according to the orange one) Boy Scouts so it must be fine. I can't wait until my 7 yr old asks me what the hell is for breakfast.

Your little feelings sure get hurt easily.

Trust me, my feelings don't get hurt by bad language, I work in the construction industry... it just amazes me that you trumpers will abandon your principles and follow this guy no matter what he says even if it's cursing to 40,000 Boy Scouts. So, rather than hurl petty insults, I'd seriously like to know how you think this is ok, cause I guarantee any other politician says that in the same context you'd be going for their throat.

I guess there's no point in having r-rated films for language any more either.

Thought we were "returning to Christian values" here.

Didn't realize that meant bragging/complaining about political stuff to boy scouts, then belittling anyone will thinks that's inappropriate.

You're sure showing those Christian values.

Yea, Christians have been twisting their teachings and beliefs to suit their needs for centuries, I guess it makes sense that they love a guy like the mango messiah...

For some reason you guys sure have a hatred for religion.
I don't believe either of us said that.
I merely pointed out that the president, and many of his supporters in this thread, claimed to be the embodiment of Christian values.
I have yet to see that be the case, unless those Christian values are actually belittling, insulting and dehumanizing others, and bragging/lying about your own exploits incessantly.

We enjoy pissing with you, no doubt.
Mainly because you have proven incapable of recognizing anything positive about him, his family or his administration.


So ye, we are battling the nonsensical with nonsense, mostly for amusements sake.

Today on the trump show...

And when you only have to look back a week to put very direct actions with each of these..
Hotchkiss identified what she called the seven deadly sins of narcissism:[9]

Shamelessness: Shame is the feeling that lurks beneath all unhealthy narcissism, and the inability to process shame in healthy ways.[clarify]

Magical thinking: Narcissists see themselves as perfect, using distortion and illusion known as magical thinking. They also use projection to "dump" shame onto others.

Arrogance: A narcissist who is feeling deflated may "reinflate" their sense of self-importance by diminishing, debasing, or degrading somebody else.

Envy: A narcissist may secure a sense of superiority in the face of another person's ability by using contempt to minimize the other person or their achievements.

Entitlement: Narcissists hold unreasonable expectations of particularly favorable treatment and automatic compliance because they consider themselves special. Failure to comply is considered an attack on
their superiority, and the perpetrator is considered an "awkward" or "difficult" person. Defiance of their will is a narcissistic injury that can trigger narcissistic rage.

Exploitation: Can take many forms but always involves the exploitation of others without regard for their feelings or interests. Often the other person is in a subservient position where resistance would be difficult or even impossible. Sometimes the subservience is not so much real as assumed.

Bad boundaries: Narcissists do not recognize that they have boundaries and that others are separate and are not extensions of themselves. Others either exist to meet their needs or may as well not exist at all. Those who provide narcissistic supply to the narcissist are treated as if they are part of the narcissist and are expected to live up to those expectations. In the mind of a narcissist, there is no boundary between self and other.

Oh, I think most will agree with your assertion that our great President Trump has narcissistic tendancies. However, he's still doing a great job.

I would say that anyone who believes that they are great enough to run this country is probably also a narcissist. We can all agree that barrack osama is.
