really just read a headline that said 'EPA chief pruitt doesn't believe CO2 is a primary contributor to global warming'GODFVUCKINGDAMMIT
To be fair, if you don't believe in global warming, nothing would be a primary contributor to global warming.You would hope that one of those people wouldn't be the head of the EPA, but welcome to Trumpland!
Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick I want my team to win games and draft well
We have an Education Secretary that believes guns belong in schools to protect against bear attacks. We have an FCC Chief who thinks Net Neutrality is bad. We have national security advisers who are in bed with Russia.And people are shocked by an EPA head who denies the cause of climate change? Despite the fact that climate change denial is the official position of the administration?
i am not shocked, i am fed up and done with this administration, as i have been for a long time
http://www.wsj.com/articles/gop-health-plan-would-hit-rural-areas-hard-1489364405Edit: Article is suddenly behind a paywall, but you can read the whole thing if you Google the headline and open it from there.
Rural regions' higher premiums are driven partly by a population that tends to be sicker and require costlier care, with higher rates of chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, said April Todd, an executive at consulting firm Avalere Health, a unit of Inovalon Inc. Also, insurers often struggle to win price concessions from health-care providers who have few competitors, she said. "Given that they're the only hospital, you don't have a lot of negotiating leverage."
The analysis ignores one of the key parts of the new bill, which tackles this very problem. Allowing people in rural areas to buy insurance registered in different states, which would allow those in rural areas more options.
Surely those out of state insurers are going to have the same problem though, or are you suggesting that people will have to go out of state to get treatment?
It's not going to matter. Without subsidies or expanded medicaid most rural folks will never be able to afford health care anyway.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
I'll admit that I don't know enough about the proposed plan to answer this question. Didn't have time to actually take a closer look at the document, so give me a few days.
Well, that puts you in the same boat as most republicans in congress that have no choice but to vote for this dumpster fire. Why bother reading it?The TLDR version of the bill is 15 million will lose health care while the uber rich will get uber richer.Shocking, I know.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
