Health Insurance Coverage

Health Care Costs Will Skyrocket, And SNAP (Food Stamps) Will Be Cut Dramatically Next Month: The Height Of Cruelty And Loss Of Humanity!

Ronald 4 Comments

With four weeks to go until the New Year 2026, it is totally clear and obvious that we are going to witness a massive, skyrocketing increase in health care costs for tens of millions of Americans, thereby denying many of any ability to have health insurance coverage, and insuring the deaths of severely sick and disabled people of all ages.

Additionally, SNAP (Food Stamp) benefits will be cut dramatically, as the Trump Administration is working to crack down and deny basic food sustenance to millions of people who will starve and damage their health, all over the government demanding detailed records from “Blue” states on the background of recipients, as part of the plan to increase deportation rapidly of those considered “undesirable” from a whole slew of nations.

These actions are cruelty and demonstrate total lack of humanity and compassion by a government more evil than America has ever witnessed.

The Republican Party in Congress has totally failed at caring about the future of millions of Americans, with their refusal to challenge Donald Trump, and do the right, moral, ethical action on both of these issues!

So sadly, it seems unavoidable to recognize that the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is likely to be in death spiral, at least until the Democrats, hopefully, regain control of Congress in 2026, still a long shot, particularly in the US Senate.

But even then, Donald Trump can use the veto power and deny millions of Americans basic health care, and also ignore food support for the poor and disadvantaged!

For 15 Years, No Republican Plan For Health Insurance, And Still None!

With five weeks to go until 2026 arrives, the Republican Party, once again, has no plan or ideas about health insurance for millions of Americans, who have relied on the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) since its passage in 2010, to provide health care coverage.

The truth is that Republicans have been, as a party, vehemently opposed to Obama Care, to a great extent, because it is the accomplishment of former President Barack Obama, so the reality is that Racism is a major factor in their rejection.

For 15 years, Republicans have shown a lack of concern about this premier issue, and if it was not for Chief Justice John Roberts in 2013, and Arizona Senator John McCain in 2017, the Affordable Care Act would have been obliterated years ago.

This is nothing new for the Republican Party, which has been opposed to Medicare and Medicaid, enacted into law under President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 and 1966 respectively.

It is also the reality that the Republican Party has been opposed to Social Security since it became law under President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935.

Had the Democratic Party not controlled the House of Representatives for 58 of 62 years from 1932-1994, and controlled the US Senate for 52 of 62 years from 1932-1994, America would not have had these premier examples of social justice.

The fact that Congress has been so evenly divided since 1994 has complicated the ability of the federal government to deal with health care and so much else in a statesmanlike manner, and endangers the lives and health of millions of Americans, moving forward!

Government Opens, But Health Care Crisis Remains!

The Federal Government Shutdown is over, but the crisis over health care for millions of Americans remains, and time is running short to insure that the American people have access to health care, no matter what their station in life.

For 15 years, Republicans have been challenging and condemning the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, even though polls show massive numbers supporting the ACA, although not as high when Barack Obama’s name is mentioned, which demonstrates pure racism.

We are in a dangerous time, with Donald Trump having no concern about the harm that is being visited by the “Big and Beautiful Bill”, that gives unjustified massive tax cuts to billionaires and corporations, at the expense of Americans who will be unable to protect their health, due to the outrageous increases in insurance premiums now being offered for 2026.

We have to hope for some kind of miracle so that this travesty is reversed!

7 Million Americans Participated In NO KINGS Rallies!

Ronald 8 Comments

America, which has a tradition of non violent rallies and demonstrations, once again demonstrated to the nation and the world the widespread opposition to the authoritarian Fascist policies of President Donald Trump and his corrupt, lawless, Cabinet Officers and other advisors.

Seven million Americans, of all backgrounds and political persuasions, participated in nationwide marches across the breadth and expanse of America in all fifty states.

The resistance to the abuses occurring and multiplying daily will evolve further, as Americans are not about to give up their civil and human rights to a unstable, demented tyrant, who is deteriorating before our eyes on a daily basis.

The sycophants around Trump prop him up, and are enriching themselves while Americans en masse are losing coverage for health care insurance, and seeing many government agencies and valued federal government workers being eliminated, a crime against humanity!

House Speaker Mike Johnson Abuser Of Power, And Lackey Of Donald Trump!

Ronald 22 Comments

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will mark two years in that position, second in line for the Presidency under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, on Saturday, October 25.

It has been a tumultuous two years, serving under Joe Biden, and now, Donald Trump.

Johnson has been extremely controversial in his utterances and actions, demonstrating an abuse of power, and being a total lackey to Donald Trump.

Johnson claims to be a devout “good” Christian, but he is anything but that, including

having the House of Representatives not in session for almost a month while the federal government is shut down.

refusing to seat an Arizona Democratic Congresswoman, Adelita Grijalva, elected nearly a month ago, so as to avoid her voting on forcing the “Epstein Files” to be made available by a majority vote of the House.

claiming that the NO KINGS marchers and demonstrators taking place today are “terorists and radicals”, who “Hate America and are Antifa”, denying their validity as a means of protest of the authoritarian moves of Donald Trump.

and demonstrating no concern about the impending health insurance disaster, including in his own home state of Louisiana, due to the massive tax cuts given the wealthy at the expense of ordinary people.

His controversial and divisive leadership has made him look worse than former Speakers Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan, and made former Speaker Nancy Pelosi shine as easily the best recent Speaker of the House since fellow Democrat Thomas “Tip” O’Neill in the 1970s and 1980s.

Papa John’s CEO Complains That ObamaCare Will Raise Pizza Prices By 11-14 Cents! So What?

Ronald 2 Comments

The CEO of Papa John’s, John Schnatter, has made a public complaint that “ObamaCare”, requiring him to give health insurance to all uninsured, full time employees by 2014, will raise pizza prices by 11 to 14 cents.

There is doubt as to whether that is really the case, but even if it is, is it not worth it for customers to be willing to pay such a measly amount extra for their pizza?

Is anyone going to decide not to buy pizza because of having to pay a dime and four pennies more as a maximum?

Actually, deciding not to buy Papa John’s would probably, long term, be better for one’s health, as it certainly is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a superior pizza that everyone must have!

If the price is to pay a bit more for those who consume Papa John’s, so be it, for the good of the full time employees of the company, who deserve consideration by their employer, instead of public complaints!
