What was the purpose of the link? I didn't see it in there.

Like people don't have choices of what to eat and how much to exercise. I'm not in the shape I was 15 years ago but I'll be damned if I'm going to blame anyone but myself.

A Slate blog? You can't be serious? Obamacare is a joke. Having a HI card is not the same as care when the deductibles are as high as they are on these plans. People with the plans don't often get care because they can't afford it anyway.

Then lets load up them Chickens with GH!

Want to put some money up that he finishes his first term?

Because it might have been requested by the AG or some other part of the DOJ than the FBI.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said on Friday that despite Russian attempts to undermine the presidential election, it has concluded that the results “accurately reflect the will of the American people.” The statement came as liberal opponents of Donald J. Trump, some citing fears of vote hacking, are seeking recounts in three states — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — where his margin of victory was extremely thin. A drive by Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, for recounts in those states had brought in more than $5 million by midday on Friday, her campaign said, and had increased its goal to $7 million. She filed for a recount in Wisconsin on Friday, about an hour before the deadline. In its statement, the administration said, “The Kremlin probably expected that publicity surrounding the disclosures that followed the Russian government-directed compromises of emails from U.S. persons and institutions, including from U.S. political organizations, would raise questions about the integrity of the election process that could have undermined the legitimacy of the president-elect.” https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/25/us/politics/hacking-russia-election-fears-barack-obama-donald-trump.html?_r=0

I fully support any way of creating more competition inside the phar marketplace. I'd like to see it start with the insurance companies and or hospitals be able to bargain together for meds. I also think there can be some things done inside the USPO to make drugs more affordable. We can also take measures to put reasonable limits on liability when the FDA agree's to push things through. I'd prefer all that before we just take over the industry. Keep in mind the % of national HC that are drugs is about 9.8%. Takes a lot of cuts to make a huge impact. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/health-expenditures.htm

Linky?

Look at the statement from Obama. First you have to understand that the ORDER comes from the FISC upon reviewing the REQUEST from someone at the DOJ or CIA or NSA or wherever. We know that the WH was updated on other surveillance INCLUDING the results of the second FISA request in October. Why were they informed if it was an independent probe from the DOJ or somewhere else? A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/445504/obama-camp-disingenuous-denials-fisa-surveillance-trump

Are you saying the FISA requests never occured?

Wow there are some accurate news sources.

Its a big part of it. Question is do we want to force doctors, nurses, lab tech and everyone else in the medical industry they are going to have to take a pay cut.

Yet according to the UN Sweden will be a third world country in just over a decade. http://speisa.com/modules/articles/index.php/item.454/sweden-to-become-a-third-world-country-by-2030-according-to-un.html According to UN projections, Sweden will be a much poorer country by 2030, much worse than what anyone in the Swedish government indicates.The UN report HDI (Human Development Index) predicts a significant decrease in Swedish prosperity, unlike their Nordic neighbors, who will retain their top positions and even strengthen them globally in the long run.In 2010 Sweden had the 15th place in the HDI rankings but according to UN forecasts, Sweden will be #25 in 2015, and in 2030 on the 45th place. Sweden is one of few countries with such a sharp deterioration from what it had in 2010.Finland demonstrates one of the world's best school systems, while the Swedish school have lost competitiveness. Fewer ends up on welfare dependency in their Nordic neighboring countries while Sweden continues to have a greater amount of family households forced to live on welfare, which are a couple factors causing the dropped global competitiveness.Negative developments, or rather liquidations can be exemplified by Orrefors Kosta Boda, which in 1992 had 940 employees in Sweden and was a profitable industry. Today less than 100 remain in the company after further cost reductions and adaptations in order to meet global competition. Most of today's less developed countries such as Cuba, Mexico, the Baltic countries and Bulgaria according to the 2030 UN report will be passing Sweden in prosperity.Even Greece, which today is more or less bankrupt, but will be on 13th place by 2030.Sweden's leftist establishment and media believe a cornerstone of their perfect society is multiculturalism: large scale immigration from some of the poorest, most backward nations on earth. Swedes who disagree with that plan risk being labeled racist, fascist, even Nazi."We had a perfectly good country," Ingrid Carlqvist, a journalist said. "A rich country, a nice country, and in a few years' time, that country will be gone."The logic should be really simple to understand, yet many have difficulties grasping it: If you import the Third World, it's what you'll get.Here is the UN report: 2010–2030 UN projections of Very High HDIs

Its appearing that way.

But remember we should believe everything Clapper and the IC tells us.

If it costs you more money I'm all for it.

Oh no you don't believe that stuff do you?

Be curious to see if this leak involves Obama's intel sharing order. Hmmmm. Wonder how long it had been handed over to Wikileaks? Did too much information get into the hands of too many people?

Free. Got to love the socialists/communists definition of free.

I was thinking the same thing.

Obesity was just one of many reasons I gave. Why are you so focused on that and the economic status of which I haven't mentioned at all? Yes if we were a kumbaya communist utopia nobody would have to work, yachts and pot for everyone and medical advancements magically come from Unicorn farts.

Nope. I just understand you can't look at one statistic like that and make such generalized assumptions on HC costs and life expectancy no more than you could on say marijuana use and crime. My proof is easy to see with my Asian American example. So many things go into ones life expectancy simply claiming a free market system is the cause is completely lacking all of the facts. Reality is with lifestyle choices of American's is probably amazing where we are at. Is our HC too expensive? Absolutely. Do we have as good as HC as anywhere in the world? Absolutely. Should we be doing more to make HC less expensive while maintaining our quality of care? Absolutely. I just disagree with the way to do it so that makes me a dishonest shithead.

No it doesn't. It just PROVES that it contributes. I love your communist nobody but authority is to blame attitude though Moto. And by the way where do I even mention poor people? Talk about a dishonest shithead. Look in the mirror pal.

America is the most obese country of the Industrialized world. Sorry but I'm willing to be virtually every obese person has been told by one doctor at one time or another to lose weight. They can't make you stop eating and exercising a bit. http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/29-most-obese-countries-in-the-world.html
