I think folks are equating the US Federal Debt to the yearly US Federal budget deficit.

Two separate animals.

If our US government can get the yearly US Federal budget deficit under control, at least get it manageable, we can start getting back on track and maybe, just maybe, start paying down the US Federal debt.

That will probably never happen but c'mon. We can't go on racking up huge US Federal deficits every year.

OK, the headline should have been worded differently.

It should have been something along the lines of:

To lower Health insurance costs, Legalize Catastrophic Health Insurance Plans for All

Anywho, very good idea from the OP.

quote:

---

The government shutdown has focused debate on the vast sum ($136 billion in 2025, as projected by the Congressional Budget Office) that the federal government spends to annually subsidize continually skyrocketing Obamacare health insurance premiums. The Wall Street Journal reports that regardless of how that fiscal tug-of- war turns out, health insurance premiums paid by Americans are expected to rise another 8% or 9% next year.

---

quote:

---

One reason health care costs are rising at two to three times the cost of everything else is that the entire insurance market is dysfunctional. Most Americans pay high monthly premiums (or the government pays for them) for coverage they often don't use.

---

quote:

---

The Democrats and health insurers ridicule these plans as "junk health insurance." Wrong. Forbes notes that these plans provide comprehensive coverage for major medical expenses and have the same "10 essential health benefits" as other Obamacare plans, including emergency services, hospitalization, pregnancy services, prescription drugs, and mental health and chronic disease treatments.

So why don't most people choose catastrophic health plans? Because an obamascam provision makes it illegal!

This obamascam provision, 42 U.S. Code 18022(e)(2), only allows those under 30 or who qualify under a "hardship" exemption to enroll. Liberals in Congress want to force people to buy plans they can't afford because they generally support a single-payer government-run system where all health services are "free."

Congress should immediately repeal this provision of Obamacare. This simple change in the law would allow all of us to choose the kind of health insurance that so many of us want and need. And wider use of these plans would cut government spending and increase economic growth.

Number one. As it stands, we don;t have the votes to overturn obamascam, Too many greedy politicans are getting OT wealthy from it.

Number two: obama-scam was INTENTIONALLY designed to fail. Why? To pave the way for commie-care, ie full government control of the massive health care industry.

Once we have a COMPLETE dependent American populace, the radical communists can do anything they desire. Power derives from dependence.

This is why the sewer rats hate and depsise DJT. He is working to take away the evil, sinister plans of the sewer rats in power.

Absolutely. Been very impressed by the job the new coach has done so far. WM actually looks like a contender again. I don’t think it will be this year but they should be back in the dome soon

---

Coach D'Micheal has been a pleasant surprise, as has the assistant coaches AND most importantly, the players on the field.

Don't sleep on WM this season, all 3 losses for WM were very close games. They could have went the other way.

There is a lot of potential at WM. I doubt we will see the success that Coach Don Shows and Coach Jerry Arledge had though.

WM has been losing good solid players to other local schools the last few years. This may stem the tide and get players fired up again about the WM football program.

If the power ratings at LSL hold, WM is going to have the 10 seed at the bottom of the playoff bracket.

WM potentially could get another chance at Neville in the playoffs. But they are going to have to win the game in front of them next Friday night.

So funny people want to argue with an observation instead of considering their perceptions and what theyve been told by the “medical” community may be incorrect.

Yep. For decades we were told that butter is bad for us and that we should use some substance called 'margarine'.

Now after years of research, we have found the opposite is true. Margarine full of 'seed' oils, trans fats and uses emulsifiers.

Here is a little experiment you can try.
Put out some butter on a plate and right beside the butter, put out some margarine.
Now see if flies land on the margarine or on the butter. You will be surprised at the outcome.

Throw out the margarine and use real butter. Go with good, high quality European butters. I personally like Danish Creamery unsalted butter.
There are other good brands out there so do your research.

At one time, doctors promoted cigarettes as 'healthy'.

A lot of folks don't realize that our bodies can't survive without cholesterol.

Our bodies produce cholesterol naturally in the liver for many body functions.

The standard cholesterol panel is way outdated. It looks at total chl. We need to request advanced cholesterol testing.

What really needs to be checked is the size of chl. Mainly the size of LDLs.

Cholesterol needs to be light and fluffy like cotton balls. Not small and dense like a marble.

What happens if cholesterol particles are small and dense is that the burrow down into the arteries and build up plaque. These plagues cause small lesions in the arteries and will rupture, like a pimple cause blood clots.

Most of the time, enzymes in our bodies will break up these clots. However, over time, blood clots will build up in our heart arteries causing a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, strokes and eventually death.

Statins? Avoid them like the plague. Too many side effects.
Yes, they do reduce cholesterol, but at what price?

Our brains consist of about 25% cholesterol. What happens when statins are taken to the brain?

Possibly Alzheimer's? Dementia? IDK really know but more and more evidence is being discovered about the side effects of statins.

Statins are the numero uno prescribed 'medicine' worldwide.

Folks would rather take a little pill rather than eat a healthy diet and do some exercise.

Do you own research.

Too many in the medical field are way too quick to throw a pill at the issue rather than getting to the root of the problem which is usually a crappy diet and lack of physical activity.

Best thing to do is reduce radically sugar intake, avoid HFC at all costs, avoid the cappy industrialize starches, get rid of seed oils and use extra virgin olive oil. Avoid foods with MSGs.
Get some good exercise a few times a week.
Get good sleep every night.
Learn how to deal with stress.

It was the Ruston TE taunting the WM sideline, did it twice. Second time the refs flagged him.

Roger on that.

If Tuesday says anything, the GOP needs to be on their Ps and Qs from here on out.

West Monroe at Ruston

A huge game for both teams. If West Monroe wins, they take the 2-5A District title.

More importantly, lots of power points at stake.

I am going with my homeboys, the WM Rebels in a close game.

If they did this the filibuster would effectively be 55 from now on, because whenever anyone with 55 votes, but short of 60, was stymied they’d lower it again.

The US Senate could easily end it TODAY. All it would take is a simple majority vote.

Oh, and don't think the sewer rats in the democrat party won't do if they
ever get back the majority in the US Senate.

BTW, if you do a simple goo-goo search, the threshold used to be 66 votes to end a filibuster.

Guess WHO changed it from 66 votes to 60 votes?

DJT has broken that old dirtbag. Buh-bye yancy :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
