I agree Trump had nothing to do with the problems in medical care, and actually neither did Obama. The root of the problem comes from the nature of medical care -- a nature that few politicians or indeed, people in general acknowledge. Thus the merchant-customer relationship typical of...

Yes, of course it can.

We should distinguish always between legal immigrants and illegal. Morally we should make exceptions for those here illegally but innocently so, although that opens a large can of worms. The U.S. has created anaother moral dilemma for itself by lax prosecution of employers who employed those...

if you can't access it what is the best care in the world to you. Distribution is why the U.S. is so far down in the list. It is that simple. You might as well be living on the streets of Mumbai as in the U.S. if you can't afford medical care and can't qualify for medicaid because you have no...

The care is mediocre according to WHO. Certainly substandard by the standard set by the other industrialized countries. (anecdotes have no bearing here, only what is true on average) We can not separate health insurance from health care. Only by paying a large amount spread out over a...

Ha ha ha. When I read your prior response to Poindexter, I read it as "You are my porn." I just realized that you had written "pawn", not "porn." I think I liked "porn" better. He is a guy or girl, not sure, that you can't reason with. I don't have "it" on ignore but neither do I respond...

The Pope is wrong. He obviously hasn't been involved with the U.S. Healthcare system .

Excellent! thank you. Did you read it? Looks like a ban on assault style weapons is definitely the way to go but include a ban on large capacity magazines as well.

It is a curious thing to recognize how terribly far out of step with gun owners in general the NRA is. I suppose that's because the NRA is at its heart and soul a lobbying agency for the gun industry masquerading as an organization with the best interests of gun enthusiasts in mind.

Didn't we have a ban on assault style firearms in effect for a number of years? It expired maybe in 2002. I'm guessing here. But If I'm right, why not go back and look at the incidence (rate) of mass shootings during the time the ban was in place versus now? Any difference I wonder?

I'm pleased to see the Parkland kids taking a very political approach. They are going after the congressmen taking NRA money. If I were to advise them that's precisely what I would suggest. They already have the public on their side.

Your post is clear and well stated. Thank you. We have a fundamental disagreement on which approach will yield the most satisfactory outcome overall. I believe that an approach based on reducing probability is supported by the statistics from other nations where there is not ready access to...

There has never been any question that there was a failure to act on the information available in the Cruz case. We should be addressing that of course. There is a far broader problem, however, that the Parkland kids have brought attention to. They have proposed actions that will reduce the...

ha ha ha. That's NRA stuff. they will lose as always.

Reference please. Or is it just your uninformed opinion?

The sooner you learn that Wall Street, which I use as a collective term for all markets and "security" and forex trading world wide, is a cesspool of corruption. The sooner you learn that, the better off you will be. And once you learn to pay no attention to brokers recommendations or the...

Thank you.

pure conjecture on your part.

sounds like something trump would say, or any other demagogue.
