Hegseth kicks ProPublica" D" in the dirt.

-- in their attempt to assassinate his character. The publication was prepping a story about Hegseth's application to West Point...

saying Hegseth wasn't accepted and in fact... never applied.

YOU DIDN"T HEAR ABOUT IT because he presented his letter of acceptance into West Point.

---throw another log onto the fire of not trusting democrat butt kissing media....

--"So, we've got two liars on our hands: ProPublica/Jesse Eisinger and West Point.

ProPublica fully intended to run with the lie, likely with visions of

Pulitzers dancing in their heads; giving a subject " a person who's up for one of the most important jobs in the world, no less " a mere one hour to

respond is the very opposite of "real journalism." Would it surprise you to learn that George Soros has donated a significant amount of money to this

rag?"

"This is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that ppl interpret and feel & experience denied claims as an act of violence..."

The End justifies the means.

Here's a question for Lumpers, do you really believe people are not denied claims in a Universal Healthcare system, Or country with UHC?

Wanna steel $53 million from city taxpayers to buy hundreds of American Quarter Horses.

Wanna make millions as a Judge collecting kickbacks for sending kids to privately run prisons

Do it under Biden.

Conahan and fellow Judge Mark Ciavarella, both of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, were convicted in connection with a scheme that sent thousands of juveniles to two private detention centers in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks.

How did Lumpers defend Biden? I don't get it.

" do you really believe people are not denied claims in a Universal Healthcare system"

Of course they are; no system approves 100%, nor should they.

The real question is, do UHS systems deny at a (much) greater rate than American companies do?

Fascinating

More than 18 years after the Duke lacrosse allegations, Crystal Mangum admits that she made it all up.
"I testified falsely against [the lacrosse players] by saying that they raped me when they didn't...I made up a story that wasn't true...I hope that they can forgive me."

I am going to guess there were Lumpers here defending Crystal, just like Jussie Smolett.

#9 | Posted by oneironaut at 2024-12-13 12:32 PM

I have much more sympathy for Magnum. She made far less money than Smollett. And, she acknowledged her crime, apologized and asked for mercy.

Smollett has been the opposite. Still a complete d-bag and was at first bailed out by Big Mike.

#5 | Posted by oneironaut

I don't think most people believe that at all. But the two systems should/would have entirely different motives for doing so. Private insurance does it to maximize profits. And as has been reported by multiple sources, they often do so without an corresponding rational. ..And I remember when the right was screaming at the top of their lungs about government run "death panels"

Properly run UHC should be doing so to manage waste in the system, but not to supplement anyone's bottom line.

Why don't you tell us why healthcare in the US is twice as expensive per-capita as almost every other developed nation?

#14 | Posted by Whatsleft at 2024-12-13 03:16 PM

I prefer paying for private insurance because I enjoy my money going to fund CEO and shareholder bonuses.

I do, I say it repeately, but you seem to think its the insurers fault for this, they make far less profit than the "medical providers".

keeps swinging that rope WhatsRight, you're bound to hit something.

Properly run UHC should be doing so to manage waste in the system, but not to supplement anyone's bottom line.

To help you understand the system is defined by the government.
inertiawins.com

I bet there's more "waste" in this government organizational chart than all of the entire "health insurers"

Besides wasn't OBamaCare supposed to solve all this? Why after all the new regulations are you regurgitating the same thing?

Is it because regulations like ObamaCare remove competition increase government and help the large corporations?

Here's something I have been researching and found interesting in my debates on Sky and X.

The governmental transparency is actually the cause of soo much crony capitalism in the US.

Strange but it really makes some sense if you take the time to read this incredible paper.

Interesting, be happy to discuss if anyone of you Lumpers can actually read.

You can die waiting for healthcare, but at least you weren't denied!

Gavin Newsom just approved a new .1% tax increase on all California workers, effective next year.

"Besides wasn't OBamaCare supposed to solve all this?"

Universal Heathcare was supposed to solve it. We never got anywhere close to achieving that.

So No. And there was no way republicans were going to allow Obamacare to work as planned anyway.

"Why after all the new regulations are you regurgitating the same thing?"

Why after witnessing republican efforts to destroy Obamacare can you remain so gleefully ignorant?

Are you so stupid you remain unaware of Republican plans to undermine and destroy Obamacare at all costs?

It has to be intentional.

But no worries comrade. Trumpy and his maga maroons are working on the 9 year concept of a plan he may have a concept of ... . someday.
