DP. Chicken causes, more or less, the same cholesterol levels as red meat. I’m not sure what research you’re referencing. Only a vegan diet provides less cholesterol, as you said. |
Your belief in this is why my Cardiologist wife and I were able to upgrade and renovate our beach home this past winter. I bet you also slather everything in coconut oil, don't you? Keep it up. I have my eye on a property in Nice, France to live out my French Rivera summer dreams. |
Who paid your $600 premium? Or did you get Obama Care? |
I come from one the poorest country in Africa with a GDP per capital far below $1000.
I think the US is wealthy enough to provide descent healthcare to its people. However, it seems to me that some of the politicians are playing with their people's minds by telling them hey looked at the starving kids in Africa with flies all over their head, be Thankful Jonny and Nancy your life is so much better here. In reality Jonny and Nancy while they don't have flies all over their head, they are sick, eat food with less good quality factory, underemployed, under/un-housed, in debt, no retirement, etc. I guess if you point to other people thousands and thousands and miles away from you, you can trick your people that way and keep screwing them in the process to enrich yourself at your expense. |
Because so many adults need work they now take the jobs that used to be considered “teen work”. |
Ask like every other developed country when it became a right. Even third world countries have right to healthcare. |
It seems to me that a government would want to provide the basic building blocks for its populace to be productive and successful.
Those basic building blocks would include: 1. security 2. an education 3. some level of basic health care so that people can use the education that was provided. People can argue about what should be included in "basic" healthcare -- but I believe it IS the role of the government to provide these things b/c the entire country benefits when people know how to read, do math, understand history, and can maintain health so that they can hold jobs and be self-sufficient. We all benefit from that. |
In civilized countries, yes. But in the failing United States of America, we can’t provide healthcare or education and yet have billions to burn our tax money, doing things like this. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-07-07/immigration-agents-descend-on-macarthur-park |
Keep posting BS on DCUM too, it suits you and your cardiologist wife family well! |
Back then my plan was $100/month for myself, and all that happened was I paid $10 copay for BC pills. I needed a finger cut looked at one morning but I sutured it up with a bandaid myself just fine. This was 2007-2009, pre-ObamaCare and Pre- Make Your Parents pay for it until age 26. That would have made my BC pills free. |
And what did this plan actually cover if you had a catastrophic illness? I had insurance like that too, but still would have meant I was SOL if I had a major event. It was also easy to get because I was in my 20s and had no preexisting conditions. Someone who has Type 1 diabetes? They are just screwed? Someone who has a stroke related to BC (I've taken care of a few patients with BC related strokes when I was a stroke RN)? What would we do with them? |
