Anything Miller can do to make people’s lives more miserable or locked up…he’s in. What a PATHETIC, tiny, little boy man. One day it’ll be HIM that’s locked up.

Their is a reason we do not have universal healthcare-the government, private for profit companies keep this from happening-they make billions while we struggle.

This morning I had time to catch up on this month's pieces, and I am, as yesterday, filled with outrage at the actions of the regime. I've long known that Medicare Advantage plans (and United Healthcare is the most lucrative) are an advantage only for the insurance companies. Thank you for exposing all of the corruption behind our healthcare system. In the interactions I've had with my Indivisible cohort, I have used your writing to tell them of the things they are not aware of.

Thank you! This is the beginning of the visible plan. Heretofore, it’s been dismissible.

Thankyou for this. This is very scary and everyone needs to know. We have a Far Right political party leader who has said she will implement everything Trump has done and is receiving advice from Trump. Someone stated she is being advised by Bannon but no hard evidence for this has surfaced as yet.

I have posted your report to the groups who are seeking to counteract nazifascism here.

...LGBTQ people (used to be labeled mentally ill), hysterical women, menopausal women, women with post-partum depression, difficult women, anyone with anxiety or depression, ADHD - they make the definitions vague on purpose. This is a very slippery slope. Anyone who is disabled or who has a clinical mental health diagnosis should be fighting this along with their families and friends. This is what Germany did. They called it aktion t4 - google it. We are on the same trajectory. When the hell are people going to wake up? And when they do, how will we every reverse all of the damage... 🤦‍♀️

This topic is so complex that it is impossible to treat it completely without writing an essay as long, or longer than the original. First, these decisions are being made by people either without medical knowledge, or medical people who are as greedy as everyone else in the Heritage Foundation. They don't care that, by a mere stroke of luck, they weren't born the trash that they think the disabled and people of individual choice are. Most of them, other than the most wealthy, don't even realize that even they are targets of these plans. I wonder how many people here would trust RFK, Jr. for anything, let alone life care decisions. Almost everything that leaves his mouth is hateful and either totally wrong or greatly exaggerated. They have been dumping almost everything they don't understand into a diagnosis of Autism, in order not to find out what's really going on. As for disabilities and inabilities to contribute and earn a living, let's talk about Steven Hawkings, who had an IQ of 160 (though, as I do, felt that much more than a number goes into an effective IQ). No one can debate that he was effective, even though at age 21, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. He lived with it for 55 years, dying at age 76 and all that time, even from a wheel chair and when he eventually lot his ability to speak, he was productive as one the top scientists of all time. Many of his theories and findings have shaped our view of the universe and how safe interstellar travel may or may not be. Elon Musk may have had to give Space X a second thought. Hawking's survived with ALS far longer than anyone (most common is 20 years or fewer)and his 55 years is still the longest of any ALS survivor. So my question for RFK, Jr. is, "How does your ignorance account for this, or for another individual who is now a 40- year survivor?" You cannot answer, because you are trained to hate, not to understand what the hell you are ever talking about.

I'll add this, Mr. Kennedy, disabled people have married, had children and led loving and meaningful lives. In fact, I'd venture a guess that 99.99% are far more loving that your corrupt nature would ever let you behave. And if you started now, to read out loud the list of every disabled individual who made a contribution to society and/or led a happy and fulfilled life, you would be dead before you could finish reading the list. One more thing, Robert, when you develop your next medical problem, which looks like a certainty from where I am sitting - and it wipes you out financially - guess which institution will have a bed reserved for you.

One more thing, you maleficent spawn from darkness, the money you worry about isn't even yours - and will never become yours. Your goal is to put as many away as you can, draining every last penny and, at that point, after making a fully functional, hateful system that will only expand, and after your 'bosses' no longer have use for them, at which point you will consider them trash. Tell the truth now, for once in your life. Isn't that the real reason that you are building crematoriums and calling the data centers? And have you even ever thought about what happens when only the wealthiest remain? Let me answer that one for you. They will go after one another, until there is a 'last man standing.' And since they will have disposed of the last woman years earlier, it's only a matter of time before that one dies off and a newer, better, more intelligent species than ours begins its journey on a world that it wouldn't dare destroy. They'd know better.

I had an HSA once. Put $850 into it because it seemed like a good deal. Fast forward 2 years. I had a largish medical bill and wanted to pay it from my Healthcare Savings Account. Guess what. The balance was ZERO!

How TF is that possible? I called because obviously a mistake was made but no, the agent explained to me that the amount had "rolled over" and been absorbed by the insurance company. I protested loudly but was told that I'd been notified by mail.

I replied; "I don't care! You guys are always sending me garbage in the mail. You kill thousands of trees to send letters telling me things, usually stupid things I really don't need to know at that. Why not send a special email then? C'mon! If it's a SAVINGS ACCOUNT that means when you put money into it, the money stays until you take it back out!"

Nope. Not to them. To them it's THEIR money, you've relenquished it to their stewardship. When I protested further, I was told "it's perfectly legal." Think about that. "It's perfectly legal to entice you into entrusting money to them only to have them STEAL it from you.

Horrifying.

This has long been the GOP playbook: If you're poor and sick, you should just die. As a matter of fact, if you're poor, you should just die.

Free Luigi!
