Capitalism drives the health insurance company too. Greedy investors fund the health insurance decisions. All insurance companies, actually, with the possible exception of mutuals.
I’m in NC. The radio pundits during the runup to the General Assembly’s lottery vote were about the potential revenues being around $300 million. Further discussion was how that was the total budget for Forsyth County (Winston-Salem vicinity) schools. NC has 100 counties, some smaller, some larger, and for the GA to vote for it was viewed by the pundits as a really dumb thing.
The very thing of it becoming a replacement rather than a supplement to the school budgets was obvious to anyone who knows American (and especially NC) politics.
People are so despicable! I live out in the country and I can’t tell you how many lungfishes jerks have let run wild around here! The boonies ain’t your dumping ground, you slimeballs!
I despise Trump for just about everything, and my opinion goes back to the ‘80s. This is gonna piss a lot of people off, but Bill Clinton has a lot to do with this shitshow. While Ken Starr was an absolute tool for trying to get him for anything, Clinton getting up in front of everyone and committing perjury with zero remorse and then getting reelected anyway, showed that America (or at least the voters) has degenerated way too far from moral integrity (history of slavery notwithstanding).
Politicians lie. That’s a given. No way you reward them for their behavior.
