Liar.
115,000 jobs added
And last month was revised up from 178,000 to 185,000.

Friday’s jobs report showed that last month’s gains were, once again, driven in part by the health care and social assistance supersector, which added nearly 54,000 roles. Transportation and warehousing also showed some strength, bringing on more than 30,000 jobs, especially among couriers and messengers.

FYI immigrants do a lot of those jobs, and they are low paying.

Amazing how each and every month, health care somehow adds more jobs and makes up the largest percentage of monthly job growth. Sounds legit...

What is good is that the private sector is adding jobs - not the government as what happened under Biden.

April's ADP report for April 2026 shows 109k in the private sector, of which 61k of that 109k are in healthcare and education. Does that mean that more people are going into teaching? Trades and transportation make up another 25k. So the future in employment is healthcare, education, and the trades.

And the healthcare (other than the wealthy doctors) and education industries lean liberal.

Of course! They get their money from .gov

Is this a surprise? Their nest is feathered by public funds.

ok, so I guess you don't want public education or nurses?

I want HC to be a reasonable segment of the American economy, not an unreasonable segment where the spending on it obliterates every other industry.

The way to do that is single payer/universal. Because what we have now is basically a bunch of middlemen and insurance companies taking the fat, rather than taking the fat out.

No, healthcare spending increases as national income increases. All single payer does is shift how the care is rationed.

Yes, there are middlemen taking a fat chunk because the free market is not allowed to operate. You want them gone? Make all insurance catastrophic and watch medicine reform overnight, especially if you repeal EMTALA so deadbeats can't get free healthcare at the ER.

So if you have a stroke while going for a walk and don't have your ID/insurance card on you, you just die cause the hospital cannot take you without evidence of insurance? Jane Doe in an accident and unconscious, can't get healthcare without proof of insurance?

Let's look at the choice:

Option 1) I keep my health insurance card on me at all times, and in exchange, I get to save untold thousands over the course of my life in healthcare savings that can be invested and put to more productive uses, or

Option 2) I don't have to keep my card on my and I get to spend my life subsidizing healthcare costs for untold waves of deadbeats.

Seems like a small price to pay for a massive benefit. You can also revise EMTALA to simply require phone carriers to let you also keep your insurance card on your phone, so you can have it in 2 places.

Sure, repeal EMTALA. I hope you bleed out in triage because you left your wallet on the kitchen counter and no one can prove you deserve medical care.

Amazing here how some fixate on remote scenarios instead of the real costs actually incurred.

You are not personally paying for those costs. They are paid by the U.S. government, which funds them via deficit spending. Your tax rate has not changed despite the increase in the deficit, nor is it likely to.

We all pay via inflation caused by excess spending. You're welcome to quote me official US government numbers, but those have been adjusted and manipulated sufficiently over the years that they no longer capture inflation accurately.

Not sure why you point to deficit spending when it is no free lunch. The fact remains that paying billions for deadbeat healthcare is grossly expensive and its worth should be debated.
