Don't get bobbed. He's differentiating "reimbursement in the face of disaster" from "subsidy for expensive but regularly needed service," both of which do fall under health insurance but only the latter is what he's talking about.

Not all, the insurance company I work for is a registered not-for-profit company.

But yeah, the for-profit ones are a bad idea, and there's far too many. The system is geared that way, even if there are still a few of us mavericks around :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our great @VP Mike Pence!

Wait a second... does the U.S. actually have 2 vice presidents named Mike Pence? Because the only V.P. that I know of is a bigot and a global warming denier.
 
Worth a thousand words, they say.

To head off a predictable reply - there is room at the bottom; there's a space to the left of the seal, and also above either of the uppermost names to the sides of the text. There is also no evidence that Trump was the last person to sign this document (it's somewhat doubtful that he would allow himself to be).

China is subsidizing its product in order that it can continue to be sold in the USA. Many firms are leaving China for other countries, including the United States, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs. No visible increase in costs or inflation, but U.S. is taking in Billions!

Nervous Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to herself and her family for having made such a disgusting statement, especially since I was with foreign leaders overseas. There is no evidence for such a thing to have been said. Nervous Nancy & Dems are getting Zero work done in Congress....

....and have no intention of doing anything other going on a fishing expedition to see if they can find anything on me - both illegal & unprecedented in U.S. history. There was no Collusion - Investigate the Investigators! Go to work on Drug Price Reductions & Infrastructure!

The beauty of that (well, aside from the obvious) is that it’s so away by itself you could easily remove it with MS Paint.

Still doesn’t know how tariffs work. I’d like hi to name three industries that moved production to the US due to the tariffs. Also, since tariffs are still coming online and distributors still had old stock they inflation hasn’t fully kicked in yet. It will be fun when toys are 25% more com pe Christmas.
 
Has he managed to force Trump Org to move the manufacturing of Trump products from China to the US?

That "not-for-profit" or "non-profit" (not the same) thing can be misleading. It describes their tax status and organizational structure; but they can still make plenty of money.

If we are able to make the deal with Mexico, & there is a good chance that we will, they will begin purchasing Farm & Agricultural products at very high levels, starting immediately. If we are unable to make the deal, Mexico will begin paying Tariffs at the 5% level on Monday!

For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!
 
Wasn't it Trump that wanted to go back to the mon?

When did it become part of Mars?

What do NASA have to do with defence?

Democrats are incapable of doing a good and solid Immigration Bill!

Luna is "part of Mars" in that it could or would be a stepping stone. I'm sure even the Dunce in Chief didn't mean a literal connection.

The problem with that argument is that he specifically said that NASA shouldn't be looking at going to the moon.

I think when even George W. Bush (not known for his scientific aptitude) talked about going to Mars, he specifically mentioned the Moon as a starting point, as opposed to Trump who said NASA should NOT talk about going to the moon. If he meant returning to the Moon as a stepping stone to Mars, then he shouldn't have criticized NASA's moon plans.
