    No - no they don't, if they cannot their insulin, they will not buy it - and their condition will get worse and they will die.

    There are already a number of people that do not take the medications prescribed to them because they cannot afford them. We can criticize the decisions that these people make - but it does happen. I have spoken to some of the doctors I hire as experts and they discuss clients with chronic conditions dying from a lack of medication.

    We will not give people medication that will let them live for decades longer, and with far less complications --- but we will allow someone to be on life support in a vegetative condition for decades at the cost of millions of dollars

    Oh man I am seriously rooting for a government shutdown and Trump being able to follow through on MASSIVE CUTS to the liberal DC bureaucracy. Thousands of unmotivated, low productivity, unaccountable bureaucrats will get the axe... saving taxpayers billions a year. Move as much of government out of DC as possible -- ideally to places like Abilene, TX or rural Oklahoma.


    GOOD DAY

    Re-onboarding those fired only a few months earlier will save us so much money, I'm giddy with anticipation.

    **** Trump is dumb. Wants to Tariff movies not filmed in the US. I guess no filming on location. What a stupid idiotic idea. I guess no foreign movies on streaming services.

    this tops the dotard's previous quackery about ingesting cleaning solutions,

    Trump went on to specifically tout the magic healing power of these fictional med beds.

    [​IMG]
    “These facilities are safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength,” AI Trump said.
    “This is the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”

    For years, some on the extreme right, online communities such as Qanon, have promoted the conspiracy theory that
    the U.S. military is in possession of technology — in the form of magic “med beds” — which can singlehandedly cure any disease and
    extend human life. The beds can supposedly even regrow missing limbs within minutes.

    if only Traitor Geroge would use this scam to help regrow his brain !

    Of course it is, just open privately funded free clinics. Requires no participation or even cooperation from the political enemies standing in your way.
    Yes, it is amazing.
    I have had no problem accessing excellent preventative care treatment, getting quick and efficient treatment for the flu, etc.
    I absolutely agree with this. See solution above.
    Indeed, fear of lawsuits is a major issue, see above re: over testing.

    Man Baby gets easily confused ...


    Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him.

    “I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

    Trump Clueless On What ACA Subsidies Are

    Donald Trump was clueless when he was asked to explain why he is against healthcare subsidies for Americans from the ACA, since immigrants are ineligible for those credits.

    In his Big Ugly bill, Trump is targeting Obamacare and the premium COVID subsidies that will expire since they were not included in the bill, affecting millions of Americans.

    Since Trump has no idea how healthcare subsides work for the public, he changed topics and ranted about the border, migrants and undocumented workers because that's all his addled brain can focus on.​

    Supreme Court lets Fed Governor Lisa Cook keep job pending January oral argument

    The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her post pending oral arguments in January on whether President Donald Trump has legal cause to fire her.

    The court’s move is a blow to Trump, who has repeatedly and unsuccessfully asked federal courts to allow him to terminate Cook from the Fed’s Board of Governors without delay while her lawsuit challenging her removal is pending.


    Trump has cited claims that Cook committed mortgage fraud as his reason for firing her from the seven-member board.

    But his first effort to remove her in August came after he, for months, had unsuccessfully pressured her, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other members of the central bank to cut interest rates

    Cook denies any wrongdoing in connection with statements she made before joining the Fed in applying for mortgages on two homes she owns in Michigan and Georgia. She has not been legally charged with making false statements on those mortgage applications.

    In its order Wednesday, the Supreme Court bluntly said, without elaboration, that Trump’s request to stay a federal district court’s injunction against removing Cook is “deferred pending oral argument in January 2026.” The actual date of the argument was not set.

    The order said the Supreme Court’s clerk would establish a schedule for the filing of legal briefs in the case, including ones by outside parties who have an interest in the outcome.


    The Trump administration’s effort to remove Cook is seen as a potential landmark case on whether to maintain the Fed’s long-held veneer of independence from political interference.

    Trump has insisted that the accusations against Cook meet the standard of “cause” required by the Federal Reserve Act to remove a Fed official.

    The Department of Justice in earlier filings had called the injunction barring Trump from firing Cook while her lawsuit is pending “yet another case of improper judicial interference with the President’s removal authority.”

    Cook’s lawyers, Abbe Lowell and Norm Eisen, in a statement after the Supreme Court issued its order, said,The Court’s decision rightly allows Governor Cook to continue in her role on the Federal Reserve Board, and we look forward to further proceedings consistent with the Court’s order.”

    White House spokesman Kush Desai, in a statement, said, “President Trump lawfully removed Lisa Cook for cause from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.”

    “We look forward to ultimate victory after presenting our oral arguments before the Supreme Court in January,” Desai said.

    The Fed declined to comment other than restating its position that it will abide by any court decisions.

    Wednesday’s order allows the Fed to conduct business as usual, at least through the end of the year.

    Cook will vote at the Federal Open Market Committee’s October and December meetings, and possibly at the FOMC’s January meeting.

    The FOMC in September voted to lower its benchmark borrowing rate by a quarter percentage point.

    In addition, officials indicated additional quarter percentage point reductions at each of the two remaining meetings this year.

    Cook participated in that FOMC meeting despite Trump’s protests.

    She voted for the quarter-point cut, while Trump’s newest Fed governor appointment, Stephen Miran, dissented from the move, saying he wanted a half-point reduction.

    Miran also indicated in the committee’s “dot plot” of individual expectations that he wants to see another 1.25 percentage points lopped off the funds rate by the end of 2025.

    Cook has not indicated a preference, though, like Powell, she has advocated a cautious approach to easing policy.

    Pro-Palestinian protesters have done huge damage to universities around the country -- making them unattractive places for parents to send their children. Some very deranged people, supporting terror coming out of Palestine. I have little sympathy for them.


    GOOD DAY
