It is not 'falsifying' credit reports, it is saying the outrageous medical bills thrust on people should not stop someone from say buying a home or appliances or a car or whatever.
We spend TRILLIONS on health care in the US, FAR more than any other country BECAUSE of price gauging and insurance fraud by the insurers but you could care less about ANY of that C ...[text shortened]... t:

Do us all a favor and stopp it with Trump. When I see the name Trump jump out in your posts, I am HAPPY to tell you that I indeed ignore the post. That's just me, though. I think Sue and Mchill love your posts. They learn something with each post.

Yeah, the guy you claim not to like but defend him at every turn, ever hear the term existential? Look it up, that is the threat your orange blob is to our democracy and I can only assume you WANT project 2025 to succeed and throw what we used to call the US back 200 years.

I'm sorry for you, and for millions of other Americans who also can't pay for medical care. The solution is so easy... but you won't vote for it.

It is to the lasting shame of the world's soon-to-be-second-largest economy that you cannot devise a national health care system free at the point of consumption. It is not because you lack the resources. Much smaller economies h ...[text shortened]... e operation. And that's the long and short of it. So much unnecessary suffering. Pathetic, isn't it?
It is complicated I actually prefer the antagonist system where insurance and hospitals battle it out over the cost of care. It is messy, sometimes it goes well and sometimes not, it is better than here is the care we are going give you, no choice, no alternatives.

When I was going through all that I was working at the VA, I was there around 10 years and so my perspectives I got a glimpse into both worlds.

Forget all that if the communists (and they are all communists) win the presidency. Forget everything . I’ll be watching every bit of it unfold. Won’t have to watch, though! You will FEEL it.

One of things about getting into see my doctor on my plan others in my group could get in front of me but the delay is reasonable with the whole world trying to get in, great delays!

I played chess at another chess site years ago and one of the players there, a Canadian died on line playing chess there (Nova) he was waiting months to see a doctor about his heart issues.

No process we come up with will be perfect and ours as horrible as is I will take over all the rest.

Why do these libs put down people who want the best health care, and are willing to pay an insurance company to get it? Like, If I go to a restaurant and order the best steak instead of a hamburger? What is the communist Kamala’s reasoning to decide my insurance?
If a smart insurance guy in my town sells insurance to the people in my church, $300/month premium, what has that got to do with her? Can you answer?libs won’t, because they don’t know why.

I believe could be wrong, but I think it is how politicians play with the people's heads. Think gun control, some smuck gets up in front of a crowd saying he will push common sense gun control, the crowd goes nuts cheering everyone likes that. The trouble is in that crowd each person has their views on what common sense gun control is and they all walk away thinking he agreed with them, but he did not.

It is not just a left thing the right does the same thing, we don't get past our first impressions and look deeper so if they can get us thinking this is evil and that is good, get people there then no matter what their bias will fill in the blanks. As long as they don't look too hard, get passed the shining new thing!

Look at what would happen next if the politician gave all new home buyers 25K to buy a house! Where will all of that money come from? How much deeper in debt will the nation be after that? No different than student load forgiveness, who pays off that debt it doesn't magically go away someone gave that money and it will have to be paid back by someone. I worked three jobs and went to school to pay off mine and now due to taxpayer-funded loan forgiveness, I get to pay off someone else' loan too.

Stop abortions by law means they will be done illegally you cannot stop them so keep them safe and lawful, but stop legal gun ownership and we will all be safe, no one thinks things through anymore.

It is too bad that I cannot show this to that class verbatim, the profane posts of all you libs, I don't think we come close to your execration exhibited on the Forum. I do show them to coffee group. It is a weak man that has to guard his comments in front of children.....but maybe you don't?
Don't read this while driving, you may hit a donkey. A donkey...jesus.
