Howard Schultz, split the vote


Well, at this point, what does Howard Schultz have to lose but he is definitely right on this major point, i.e., Progressives are dead wrong when it comes to ICE.

Published to You Tube on Apr 4, 2019 by Fox News 

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz discusses border security at Fox News town hall moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. #SchultzTownHall #FoxNews

#1:  The plant should have questioned this buffoon about all of the illegal aliens who are taking the jobs of Americans…at Starbucks with Howie’s blessings.

#2:  Healthcare is not a right.

#3:  This man is a Progressive and a threat to the Republic.

Keep your eyes on the prize, America.  Howard Schultz has one role to play in the 2020 presidential elections and that is to steal votes away from President Donald J. Trump.

About My Going Underground These Past Few Weeks

12 Tuesday Mar 2019

Posted by bydesign001 in healthcare

Good morning all,

I thought that I would take a moment to address the silence these past weeks at Grumpy Opinions, PUMABydesign001’s Blog and across social media.

I would have published sooner but for a while, I had no access to my laptop and when I did have access, I was not in the state of mind to post anything but there, of course, is a reason for that.

Two and a half weeks ago, I headed to the doctor for treatment of what I thought was a recurrent stomach virus only to by day’s end find myself admitted to a hospital.

Definitely NOT a Stomach Virus —

After an 11-day hospital stay, a battery of tests, examinations and oh yes, a liquid diet of chicken broth, Jell-O, cranberry juice and yogurt, I was finally released two days ago.  Will receive findings of the last test, etc. by week’s end at which point the next chapter begins.

In the meantime, I am reading up on everything that I can while trying to heal my digestive system.

In between, I will do all that I can to continue bringing you the content and commentary from the many contributors and authors at Grumpy Opinions and PUMABydesign001’s Blog of which you have become accustomed.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and prayers on my behalf.

D.

P.s.:  Two requests, if I may be so bold:

  • Your prayers;
  • Anything that you have from a patient’s perspective relating to the digestive system, the healing process, recovery, etc.  Tks.

O-Cortez Agrees That the Healthcare Industry Must Be Nationalized

Independent Sentinel by S. Noble

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) policy director, Dan Riffle, tweeted support on Tuesday for Sen. Kamala Harris’ (D-CA) proposals to eliminate the private health insurance industry in America, which would cost 1.5 million American workers their jobs.

“Yes, we’re going to get rid of the entire health insurance industry. That’s a feature, not a bug,” Riffle tweeted, linking to a video of Harris saying just that during a CNN town hall on Monday.

In 2017, 1.5 million Americans were employed by the healthcare industry.

Cortez, or AOC as she likes to call herself, has already made it clear that she wants to natonalize the energy industry.

The hardcore leftist also wants the government to confiscate other peoples’ money, especially if they make over an amount she deems to be too much. Apparently, she has never considered the fact that these successful people will be less productive rather than give it to the AOC government of the United States of Venezuela.

Democrats Should Not Get a Single Vote from Seniors

When Barack Obama was in the White House, he never addressed the concerns of seniors and the disabled.  His staple legislation, Obamacare, fundamentally transformed healthcare for many into a nightmare.

What can be worse than Obamacare?

Medicare for All (M4A) as is being pushed by red diaper baby, Bernie Sanders and his disciple, Progressive Congressional candidate from New York City, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this 2018 mid-term election season.

The polls will open early this coming Tuesday and it is the civic duty of every American to vote. As for seniors and the disabled, voting for Democrats would be the equivalent of shooting onself in the foot.

While we all have much to lose should we not vote or not vote Red, voters on Medicare have much to lose if Progressives are victorious.

Bob Bennett posted a must-read over at Independent Sentinel on the elephant in the room, i.e., Medicare for All (M4A).

Independent Sentinel by Bob Bennett

Would seniors vote for a party that has PROMISED to destroy Medicare? Maybe—if they believe the lies of Democrats and Socialists. SO, IT’S IMPORTANT TO SHARE THIS.

Democrats have gotten behind Socialist Bernie Sanders’s deranged plan, the Medicare for All Act (M4A), which is nothing more than single-payer health care—a long-time leftist dream for America; but a nightmare for those in other nations who have it.

Professional liars and Socialists Sen. Sanders—no, that’s not the fried chicken guy—and candidate Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez claim that Medicare for All would actually cost LESS than Medicare for seniors or disabled alone costs now. The latter actually told CNN’s Chris Cuomo, on August 8ththat a study “show[ed] that Medicare-for-all is actually much cheaper than the current system that we pay right now.” Sanders said in a video that the plan “would save the American people $2 trillion over a 10-year period.”

Of course, any fool knows that’s mathematically impossible. To support their ludicrous promises, these hucksters cite a study titled, “The Costs of a National Single-Payer Healthcare System,” published by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Alas, like everything the Socialists say in order to sell their lunatic agenda, this is a lie: the study doesn’t say that at all.

The true cost of M4A

The paper clearly says the cost of Medicare for All would dwarf what we’re paying now to finance health care insurance for seniors and disabled alone:

The Medicare for All Act (M4A), would, under conservative estimates, increase federal budget commitments by approximately $32.6 trillion during its first 10 years of full implementation (2022–2031)…. This projected increase in federal healthcare commitments would equal approximately 10.7 percent of GDP in 2022, rising to nearly 12.7 percent of GDP in 2031 and further thereafter. Doubling all currently projected federal individual and corporate income tax collections would be insufficient to finance the added federal costs of the plan. [Emphasis added.]

But, the study adds, “It is likely that the actual cost of M4A would be substantially greater than has been estimated from its legislative text. That text requires that healthcare providers —hospitals, physicians, and others—will be reimbursed for all patients at “current Medicare payment rates.”

[Read the Bill, page 13, line 17.]

That last part sounds good, right? But it’s not.

Sanders based this rule on a projection by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), that Medicare provider payments will be roughly 40 percent lower than those paid by private insurers during the first 10 years of M4A’s proposed implementation (by 2031.) [Figure 2, page 8]

But those cuts in provider payments would only happen if Congress allows adjustments [cuts] that are mandated under current law[…]

Infanticide by the Socialist State; the Sun Sets on the British Empire

Unified Patriots by Lady Penguin

Words escape me. Great Britain demanding the death of ill children. Infanticide.

Little Alvie Evans died last night. A toddler child confined to a National Health Service Hospital; their dictates, their decrees, and finally, the throwing of the switch. Alfie isn’t the first notorious case the world is aware of coming out of England. Remember Charlie Gard? “Charlie Gard: A Society Which Loses its Humanity, Loses its Soul”

Alvie Evans’ story is another glimpse into what happens in a totalitarian Socialist State. It’s another example of outcomes when the State owns your healthcare and your life. Think about it. In socialism, the People are owned by the government, their everyday lives are affected, but worst of all, the government owns your body by being in control of your healthcare.

Joe Herring writes eloquently about Alfie Evans’ plight, “Another Child Sacrifice on Britain’s NHS Altar” published only hours before the baby’s death was reported, but he nails what’s wrong with Britain’s National Heath Service, and the dangerous outcomes of complete State control of your healthcare. In the cases of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans it isn’t just the confiscation of their rights by the State, but Great Britain has taken the right to determine what is best for children out of the hands of the parents. The United Kingdom’s judiciary and National Health Service own the children, and parental rights have been extinguished.

Alfie Evans’ case is even more egregious than infant Charlie’s. In Alfie’s case there was more knowledge and aid available to assist him, from diagnosis to treatment, than in Charlie’s situation. Italy had granted baby Alfie citizenship and was standing by with an air ambulance to take Alfie to Italy for care. But that was not to be allowed – no escape from the British Kingdom of Socialism. Note that money was not an issue for Charlie Gard or Alfie Evans, both had either raised the funds needed for critical transport and care, or it was being given to them. It was simply a matter that the NHS wasn’t going to turn the babies loose[…]
