Health Care

[GH2001]

It was the heat of the moment.

Damnit man. That was my line.

[GH2001]

He said his goal was free healthcare for everybody. 

But while he was looking up words like "specious" he skipped over the meaning of easier ones like "free."

He says there's no free market.  Wrong. But whatever.

There is no such thing as free healthcare either.  Somebody pays. Be altruistic with somebody else's wallet.

Agree.

And I think we can all agree that by free market none of us mean unadulterated unchecked anarchy. Not sure why anyone thought that. That's not the definition of a free market economy within the bounds of our constitution in this country.

Damnit man. That was my line.

I know. It showed in your eyes.

THIS is more pertinent than an argument about whether or not there "is" a free market.

[Godfather]

I don't think he's lamenting that there's no free market. It sounds to me like he's saying the concept itself is preposterous.

Are you accusing chestnuts of being lazy?

[Kaos]

THIS is more pertinent than an argument about whether or not there "is" a free market.

That's sorta what I was trying to say for like 11 of the 13 pages here.  The other part was just yelling horseshit to amuse myself.

You did say that about 11 pages ago.

Speaking of Health Care...Trump is going to try to terminate the Meals on Wheels programs.

Good.  I like meals that sit still.

Speaking of Health Care...Trump is going to try to terminate the Meals on Wheels programs.

Will the part of that program that is 97% private funded still be ok?  Or will Trump stop people from donating to it?

[The Prowler]

Will the part of that program that is 97% private funded still be ok?  Or will Trump stop people from donating to it?

I'm sure people will still be able to donate to it, they'd just have to make up for the 3-4% of the Federal funding that would be cut out if it goes through.

[AUJarhead]

So then he's not terminating it?

[Snaggletiger]

No, private funding will pick up the slack.  My wife has been delivering for Meals on Wheels for years.  Our Sunday School class contributes as do many others I know of. I'll throw an extra $10 in the plate.  It won't be affected in the least.   

[Snaggletiger]

So then he's not terminating it?

Terminating...cutting 3%....aren't you splitting hairs here?

[Token]

So then he's not terminating it?

He's just cutting the fat out of the plate.  Only lean meat now.

[AUJarhead]

Well, Prowler said Trump was trying to terminate it. I'm trying to figure out why he said that.

[Snaggletiger]

Well, Prowler said Trump was trying to terminate it. I'm trying to figure out why he said that.

I know you were told there would be no math, but let me lay it out for you.  Termination vs. 3% cut.  There's only a miniscule 97% difference between the two.  Why are you questioning this logic?  Trump BAAAAAD! 

[The Prowler]

Well, Prowler said Trump was trying to terminate it. I'm trying to figure out why he said that.

Federally terminate.

[Saniflush]

He's just cutting the fat out of the plate.  Only lean meat now.

No tread on the tires....More of a racing slick look.

[GH2001]

Federally terminate.

Or cut the very small federal portion. No terminate of the program. Quit lying. Quit being a useful idiot for that side.
