Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sure Mike, it's fine with you, your insurance covers it whenever you get an eye full of santorum
TIL Peter David was flat broke, disabled as fuck, but was still kicked off Medicaid.
It looks like he was lucky enough to still be getting care. The problem is that his medical bills were so high that his family was at risk of becoming homeless.
His wife has been struggling to get a job that pays a living wage, and his daughter has been struggling to get an entry level role. Sadly, this is a very American story, and if he wasn’t lucky enough to have so many fans, things would be even darker for his family.

His religiosity and ethics remind me of my uncle.
That is not a compliment.
Ah yes, I remember that part of the Bible where Jesus healed the sick, but only if they weren't dirty freeloaders.

Then he should start with his own government all-paid healthcare.
That's a great point. What are his benefits in detail? Meaning, how much is:
- his salary
- his stipends, if any
- his medical benefits including any payments, minimums, yearly allowances, etc.
- bonus for being chairmain?
- gifts or benefits from his campaign or donors
I don't have answers to those. But i know they all get free fully covered healthcare. That's enough to piss me off.

You know, he's absolutely right. It IS moral to throw people off Medicaid.
The part that he doesn't say is that it's EVIL morality.
Most punchable face.
Its a moral imperative that we provide healthcare to each other. Mike Dick over here wouldnt know shit about civility.
If one's morality is focused solely on making the rich richer...
Well, you see, he's not an unborn child, so it's fine. 🫠
