    Being a Type 1 Diabetic, I'm pretty well fucked. I love in his interview when he says that the problem with healthcare is COST (which I agree with), but their solution is to make people pay more. Neither the ACA or this POS plan do anything to fix the cost issue. My insulin alone is ~1k a month. Insulin, like a lot of other drugs, has seen the cost go way up over the last eight or nine years.

    • My wife's sister and brother in law are docs in Germany and they're routinely shocked how much we pay for drugs they use.. that are MADE in the US.mathinc
    • fadein11 keeps insisting as the basis of his nose drips, that the US is the richest nation in the world. Try Qatar, Luxembourg, Singapore, Brunei or UAE

    • Portugal is nowhere near US in nation's richness but we still try to take care of our own...dmay
    • Unless you're funding the military of other countries, it is an investment of security, training and employment for its own citizens.

    • I killed your cactus. :( It lived for years. I thought I had killed it the first month you gave it to me—but I brought back. It died (again) about 8 months ago.PonyBoy
    • Which is cool cuz it gives your a reason to stop by again (cactus replacement!). :D
      Hope you're doing well, man! <3      PonyBoy
