America is going Communist.It’s scary zb.

I find solace in the fact that old ■■■■■ like you will soon die out and it seems the next generations are not so indoctrinated in fallacies. Godspeed!

Hi Remy

I know, it’s slightly off topic, but I would like to ask you a few questions about the health care and health insurance and how it works in the US of A.

Would you be willing to describe in as much detail as possible , your health care insurance, please?

I have a lot of more specific questions, but I thought I would start with more generic one for a start

Thanks

Jesus Wept.

With Nazism elected to power for the last time in 1945 (Argentina) if you define ■■■■ regime as a Far Right Military (Juan Peron) married not just politically aligned to Far Left Street Worker (Eva Peron, nee Duarte)
you’d think that Communism bringing down Gorbechev 30 years ago - might have consigned “Communism” to the history books as well… But no.

So the argument is that if those who fought Nazism have all died of old age, perhaps we can bring back the very kind of behaviour that actually pushed people to vote FOR the ■■■■ party, at least in Germany.

The country was faced with a choice between violent Communist revolutionaries who the aristocratic military old guard feared would end up like Russia 1917…
It was they the Military Right Wing that formed this alliance with the devil himself in the form of not just Hitler - but henchmen like Himmler and Eichmann to become “pretend” military offices, and legalizing brutality and murder to throw that proverbial bone of “Crime’s Punishment” at those given advancement by the party. Moderates and Minorities were persecuted. NOT just the Jews, but millions more Slavs in particular as well.
…Most of these military right wingers like Ernst Roehm in the actual political circle - were got rid of during the “night of the long knives” Godfather-style Murder event of course, and what started out as a Far Left/Far Right coaltion government - ended up being a Far Left dictatorship ruling by that point a mere Puppet Military where even Germany’s finest Generals like Rommel were scared of jumped-up self-appointed SS freak Himmler.

Don’t put it past the far left to consider doing it all over again, neither! They’ve spun everyone into this lie for the best part of the past century this lie that Hitler was a Right Winger FFS… whilst “Communism” has killed even more people than Nazism, especially in the years since the last person on Earth was murdered by a jackbooted actual ■■■■ Party maniac.

Hitler we are socialists.jpg
The so-called Anti-Fascists are the nearest thing on Earth today - of BEING Fascists.

Momentum, meanwhile - have not gone anywhere, neither.

What the hell is Boris Johnson’s government pandering to the Lefties for? - I don’t know.
We conservatives voted Tory to get some Right-Wingness Law and Order into our establishment, and all we seem to be getting instead is Preti Patel, supposedly a Right Winger - doing NOTHING to stop boat illegals coming over, and according to Farage - putting them into mothballed and furloughed hotels all around the country, with Serco security guarding them from would-be snoopers like Farage himself…

Jihadi Brides are on the verge of being welcomed back, along with their apparently now “forgiven” Jihadi Husbands and wider families…

Our borders are still wide open, despite Covid giving us an excuse for the very hardest of “Drawbridge Raising” excercises, that I continue to not wear a mask in protest at such a proper lockdown not happening.
It can’t be that serious if people can still come here from high Covid infected countries - can it? I’ve already paid the price more than once for other people supposedly smarter than I believing all this Covid and Pro NHS Bull we’re being force-fed…

Why all this pretence about the NHS as well? Either make it work with the same money, forcing it to reform - or replace it with a compuslory BUPA style system where you have to sport an ID and UK Payslip to get that hallowed “Free Treatment upon turning up”…

The NHS has become a graven image, a golden idol in our time. The NHS is practically venerated as a deity by Lefties already of course, but that’s because they don’t have any other God in their lives, quite frankly. It has become a “Religion of the Godless” - you look to the NHS to extend your life when “Religious Faith” means nothing to one. Most of us will be born under the NHS eyes, and most of us will breathe our last under those same eyes too… From Cradle to Grave, give us your workering taxpayer’s money forever in the form of National Insurance Contributions which oddly those here for the freebies WON’T be paying themselves.
What of us Driving community people? Professional Deliverers? To get sick NOW is to at very least lose one’s job, and banned from site never to return… Even having a full time contract with strong Union prescence - isn’t 100% watertight on that front… Made-up reasons can be made to get rid of “undesirables”, with the old unprovable “Covid” excuse being used when all else falls short otherwise. "The target worker is suspended on zero pay until Covid is cured (doomsday) or they can prove they don’t have it (by signing up to “Chinese Tagging”) and agree to worship whatever graven image we put in front of them… Mainstream Media narrative, the sanctity of the NHS, that there isn’t any god other than the one we establishment people make for you, and the Orwellian Nightmare - is at hand… “You are not forced to get out of bed if you don’t like it, nor will we prevent you from killing yourself, “mental illness” being something we accept as daily life, rather than try to prevent people being killed by.”

Nope, I’m not bowing down and worshipping that, and I notice even people identifying as Atheists are starting to go “hmmm” a bit too on that matter…

The Future belongs to such “Moderate” Liberals as they who now question what it IS to be a Liberal living in today’s now outgoing Liberal Democracy…
The “Solution”? - isn’t to get rid of Trump, nor get rid of the Democrats, nor even give the Tories a big enough majority that they’d actually use it go get some decent stuff done, rather than a big lie NONE of us voted for as recently as December last year.

Both Communism and Nazism - belong in the dustbin of History. Put them there and LEAVE them there!

What hospital care does one need in the US to get NO big bill for a say, two week hospital bed stay?

I’ve heard horror stories of Cancer Patients getting billed in excess of $50,000 for a two-week stay in hospital, which if true - is absolutely ruinous to one’s personal finances! :open_mouth:
People would surely have to re-mortgage their houses to raise THAT kind of cash - as not many will have that amount stacked up as “savings” - especially among blue collar rustbelt workers, I would have thought…

This is important for the coming election. If the Rust Belt states feel better off now than they did under Obama - then Trump is likely to get a boost from Liberal Blue Collar Workers who maybe held their noses to vote Hilary in 2016, believing that “Trump was no good” back then. A lot of Liberal Americans I have spoken to “wanted change”, but couldn’t bring themselves to vote Trump on his total lack of experience, and they expected him to not last very long even if he did win, which of course he counfounded everyone by doing so.
That’s a LOT of potential “swing voters” there.
Meanwhile, those who DID vote for Trump in 2016 - how many of those voters now hate him enough to vote for Senility-on-a-stick Biden?

It is often said that the best way for a man to get into a woman’s knickers is to “make her laugh every day”.
Whilst a cynic like me might add “Just make sure your own pants are not around your ankles when she starts laughing”…

Trump might win a few votes, or keep a LOT of voters on board - by simply his entertainment value alone.
]
How many people who were previously “uninterested” in politics - been electrified by the past four years, be it deranged hatred for “Not Their President”, for which he just trolls them more, or for the respect they have for this guy who’s seriously torn up the rulebook for “politics” the world over?

There can be no “halfway house” result in November. It’ll be the biggest upset in history for the Democrats - or the biggest upset in history -for the Republicans.
Trump simply cannot tread water here.
As Boris Johnson likes to say:

“It is Do or Die”.

Yes, I know, Pat would be the best man to ask, but I know he has a lot to deal with, so I don’t want to bother him

OK. His past posts were eye openers, indeed.

You lot seem to be clued up on American politics more than we are. Trump is loud mouthed, bombastic (at times :wink: ), uncouth, has no polish, shoots from the lip, lacks political sliminess and has been attacked by the democrats and the media from the beginning. He didn’t go around kissing the rings of other world leaders like Obama did and apologizing for what America did during WW2.

A lot of people don’t like him personally but he still believes America can be great again.

As for the health system here, you do have to buy your own insurance through your employer so that’s a consideration when applying for a job. Good doctors and hospital care isn’t cheap but I know people that have been in hospital and not lost their homes or life savings.
Since i’m retired now I have health insurance through the government so don’t have to buy it.

Don’t a lot of us in the entire Western Free World say things like “I can’t stand any of them politicians” - but then insist on voting every time anyways… I know I do . :blush: :unamused:

Hi Remy

That’s OK, I am also interested in how your medical care and expenses look like when you are retired.
If I’m not mistaken, once you reach 65 years of age, your insurance is mostly covered by government, am I right?
There are some costs that you need to meet when sick , but you are covered by Medicare ( am I right)?

So, once yes u retire and are covered by Medicare do you still need to.pay some monthly premiums towards your health insurance?
What is your copay?
What is your deductibles?
Do you pay in full for any medicines that you need to take?

I am interested in anything regarding US health care.

Thanks
