The talking head said 1 + 1 = 2 I don't "parrot" as much as I agree. You seem to think calling me a "one of the country rubes" is a good argument. It sounds more like you're out of arguments to me.
Yeah, I get it. You're in your later years so you vote for the party who hands out the benefits for votes, and hands the taxpayers the bill. I don't think you're a "rube" for voting in your own self interest, but I think there's another side of the coin to the most of the hand out mentality. At some point, much like our national debt the shit is going to hit the fan.
From day 1, I knew the ACA was going to be something other than "affordable". They name sports arenas and football stadiums after insurance companies. They aren't going to help make healthcare cost less, and neither are hospitals. I had a cardio stress test done for my high blood pressure. The bill was $3,400. for 20 minutes of the doctor's time. He looked at my heart sonograms and ran out of the room. When I grabbed him to say, "I have questions", he said, "I'm busy, you're fine." and left. While good health care is a blessing when you need it, it's also a business where hospitals, insurance companies, and drug companies are used to high profits. The problem isn't the quality of care,... the problem is the cost. I digressed here, but my point is that YOU may vote for the dem's because you are on the recieving end of your well deserved benefits. Many don't vote for them because they are on the paying end...
. Fix the place up, sell it in 5 years, and move 5 miles out of town and do it again... other than that, I wouldn't know what to tell you if you stay in NYC.
