    RIP: Former Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY)

    Carolyn McCarthy, whose husband was murdered and son partially paralyzed by Long Island Railroad gunman Colin Ferguson in 1993, passed away last week. She was a personal hero to me. Although we had moved to St. Louis before the LIRR massacre, we had lived a few blocks away from the McCarthys...

    Trump-enomics

    The economy has been characterized by chaos and erraticism because wild, impulsive, uninformed moves of the current president. The stock market went down 19.4% at its low and now seems to be near the record high it hit under Biden in October, 2024. I kind of wonder whether he might have...

    Congressman calls on Noem, Dr. Oz with plan to 'swiftly remove' 1.4 million illegal migrants on Medicaid

    Please help the people on this forum who have high medical expenses by providing this information. My husband and I don't need it, but I am a consumer nerd who loves to pass on info to my friends that could improve their lives.

    Congressman calls on Noem, Dr. Oz with plan to 'swiftly remove' 1.4 million illegal migrants on Medicaid

    If these facilities became public knowledge there would be stampedes, and I live in one of the least expensive areas of the country and there aren't any around here. There are sliding scale clinics for people with low incomes here and there but that generosity does not extend to hospitals. There...

    Congressman calls on Noem, Dr. Oz with plan to 'swiftly remove' 1.4 million illegal migrants on Medicaid

    A friend recently retired from the billing department of a religious hospital. Where people's insurance was inadequate--or non-existent--they often reduced payments and let the patients pay an affordable charge every month--so affordable that the actual "bill" would probably never be paid.

    Congressman calls on Noem, Dr. Oz with plan to 'swiftly remove' 1.4 million illegal migrants on Medicaid

    The undocumented immigrants I know have been "always dependent on the kindness of strangers." A dear friend is one of those strangers, working so hard to help immigrants she has to be reminded to take care of herself. A young man had kidney failure. He showed up at an ER and the doctor said...

    Congressman calls on Noem, Dr. Oz with plan to 'swiftly remove' 1.4 million illegal migrants on Medicaid

    Since you are listening to untrue propaganda I can't respond. My husband just got out of the hospital because of neurological complications of covid. We just got the bill. They wanted 12,000 for 2 days. The VA paid $5,000. We owed nothing. Don't try to tell me that there are tens of millions of...

    Communism- Socialism

    It is the authoritarian dictatorial model of communism or socialism that is so negative. The authoritarian dictatorial model of capitalism is just as negative, or even more so. It is taking control from the votes of the people and ceding it to callous amoral leaders who do not have our best...

    Congressman calls on Noem, Dr. Oz with plan to 'swiftly remove' 1.4 million illegal migrants on Medicaid

    Every other developed country in the world has Universal Health Care, and friends of mine who have fallen ill in those countries have had very negligible bills. My own husband almost died from extremely low blood sugar after arriving in South Korea to visit our son. He was taken to the hospital...
