What does it cost us to remain med-compliant?

Yeah that's pretty screwed up and why my daughter didn't marry for so long. Her meds are expensive and she needed the medical coverage.

Oklahoma has voted red in every presidential race this century and by at least 30 points every time. 2 Rep. senators, Rep. governor, 4/5 House of Rep. servants are Rep. The Trump administration has filed a request that the Sypreme Court end Obamacare, with total Republican support.

The citizens of Oklahoma just gave the finger to all those persons, because they, the people, who are suffering mightily, want healthcare. So, they voted to expand Medicaid by something like 250,000 people.

So, there you go. Who is out of touch now?

I don't know what more to say, my friend. You definitely seem caught between a rock and a hard place. I hope that someday, if you still can't work, that you might apply for SSDI. I am thinking that you do what you do now because of your children? It's an awful situation and you're certainly not alone in it.

When I compare my husband's native country to the US in terms of Healthcare coverage, I wonder why Americans are treated so cruelly. Why does one particular party hate Americans so much? Except the rich. They like them. I know what they want. It is certainly not a true Christian act they want to offer. It's the opposite. Those people seem to hate. They hate a lot of people. They hate. Or at the very least, they just don't give a damn, which is equally dangerous.

Right,. I planned very well for dissaster. I have a very good income, officially. But, I fully suppport 5 people, including me, and I support to the tune of about maybe 40% or so another two. Four of these are children.

Thanks.

I'm glad you had the good sense to plan so well, and yet you are still feeling the strain. I'm sorry about that. But unlike you, most people are not physicians, especially not highly regarded ones.

According to the 2017 census, the median family income in the US was $59,000. And that was the median. You know that so many many more earned less than that. Many less than minimum wage. There is a big fight to not even raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour (in both parties), and many making less than minimum wage have no insurance or have to rely on Medicade or Obamacare, which one party dislikes immensely, as you stated earlier. I don't know, "Let them eat worms?" I guess that's what some politicians are thinking.

I saw job listings at my local grocery store "bragging" about starting pays of $12 per hour. If such a person at that wage worked 40 hours per week, throughout the year, their annual gross income would be around $25,000. Considering that the average annual property taxes in New Jersey are around $10,000, such a person would not be able to own my house easily. And I have a small townhouse in the suburbs. The schools are very good where I am, but probably not so good where someone making $12/hour could live, unless they lived with parents or dormitory style with several others. I'm pretty sure most physicians make well over $200 K per year with many surgeons heading towards $500 K, all of whom likely are given healthcare benefits, when they are working. They invest some of that money, too. We're all taxed, but people like Jeff Bezos hardly pays taxes, at all, especially since a couple years ago. Paul Ryan's great triumph! Lucky Jeff! Also, some are even shameless about it and state "That makes me smart, for not paying taxes." It's on video for all to see, straight from the orange horse's mouth.

Yeah, I had good insurance then.

You know, at the end of the month, I am pretty sure the added $600 a week in federal unemployment COVID benefits runs out and the Repubicans will not renew it. 30 million people will lose income. Representative McCarthy, who has the IQ of a snow pea and the empathy of a terrorist, said it would, and I quote: "...not be producctive..." to extend them further. Right. It is not productive for out of work families who cannot afford their mortgages to now not even be able to eat. Not productive.
