turtlespeed 212 #51 July 28, 2015 Amazon ************>I really never understood why there is not more of a push to keep people from >just living off the system. There is a pretty large amount of effort spent trying to keep people off "the system" (PRWORA, non-cash benefits, TANF reform, CalWORKs etc.) But at some point you start hurting the people the programs were _intended_ to help. (That is, of course, some people's goal.) I don't believe that is their goal, but ther maybe a minuscule amount that think that way. I just have a hard time digesting that there at as many people that need the systems help as simply want it so they don't have to work as hard. When those people like Rmoney the vulture capitalist buy up a company... raid the pension fund... sell off what assets are actually there and tell everyone their jobs now reside in China or Bangladesh...... a lot of people in need. The Rust Belt.... it has happened over and over again... those PATRIOTIC American OWNERS.... send off the jobs for fun and their personal fortunes... and screw the former middle class. I would think all those PATRIOTS in the GOP would wish to do what is best for America.. but... nope.... did not and will not happen...Yep that's why we need more trade agreements with funding to help reeducate the workers that lose there jobs to overseas caused by the trade agreements.SCRAP all the trade agreements.... and if you want to do business in America.. you make it in America. Invest in Americans. Edited to ADD..... And if you want to move your money offshore... you lose your citizenship.. as well as your family with NO right of return... EVER.how very isolationist of you.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,384 #54 July 28, 2015 More Obamacare horror - more people are insured! ============================ Obamacare's side effects: Fewer uninsured, better health Dan Mangan Obamacare improved key health-care measurements for millions of Americans, reversing a troubling trend, a new study strongly suggests. The study found marked gains in the number of people with insurance—as other research has repeatedly confirmed—as well as improved access to doctors and medications, affordable health care and good health status after implementation of the Affordable Care Act. But the research published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association also noted that the the gains in health coverage and access to care for low-income adults were particularly striking in states that expanded their Medicaid programs under the ACA to include more poor people. The improvements nationwide came after all six measures used in the study "showed worsening trends in the 2012-13 period, particularly between March 2013 and September 2013," according to the study, which looked at the experiences of about 500,000 adults age 18 to 64. All but one of those measures—days limited by poor health—improved significantly after Obamacare plans went on sale on government-run exchanges in October 2013, according to the study, whose authors are from Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department and the Commonwealth Fund. The number of people who lacked health insurance fell by 7.9 percentage points, and there was a 3.5 percentage-point drop in the number of people who lacked a personal physician, the study found. The number of people who reported being unable to afford care fell by 5.5 percentage points. People who said they were just in fair or poor health dropped by 3.4 percentage points after the ACA took effect, the study found. ======================= http://www.cnbc.com/2015/07/28/obamacares-side-effects-fewer-uninsured-better-health.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
