Are you mortified about President Donald J. Trump?

As someone who works in healthcare, let me give you an anecdote. I work in a hospital and one of my patients presented with a massive MCA stroke, hemiplegia, aphasia, neglect, the works. He had private insurance. His payer stopped paying for treatment 2 weeks into rehab. Instead of being discharged to an impatient rehab facility for intensive rehab, which was indicated, he was d/c'd to a SNF and then home a few weeks after that, where insurance never covered any additional neuro treatment.

All the evidence suggests the first 1-2 months post-stroke is a critical period and the modality of care you receive during this period has tremendous impact on your permanent functional ability. Do insurance companies care about this? No. This man never had the opportunity to exercise choice, shop, or participate in any kind of free market, to appeal his claims denial, or to understand this aspect of his plan (as a matter of practice these sorts of intricacies are never disclosed). Under medicare + supplements, and everywhere else in the wealthy world, the same treatment plan is routinely covered.

He has every opportunity to diet and exercise self restraint for the entirety of his life preceding the stroke to help prevent high cholesterol

I love my insurance plan, sorry others sucks.

Does it cover inpatient neuro subacute rehab post-stroke or traumatic TBI? For how long? What about outpatient neurorehab in the year following? Do they pay for trans-cranial cortical electromagnetic stimulation (best evidence for certain indications)? (Medicare and European/Oceanic systems do, most private insurers don't)

Speech therapy? How long? How frequently? Are they following best evidence indications for frequency of speech therapy and functional neuro-e-stim, or as few interventions as possible to cut costs?

You don't know anything about your insurance or how good it is. Chances are, if it's affordable, it's shit, and as soon as you are in the hospital unconscious they will start rejecting claims.

You know what happens at 35+? You own property. You start thinking about retirement. You want to take care of your children. You want to save money to pay for your kid's college tuition to give them a chance.

Yup. I'm 32 but I was able to figure this out in my early 20's. Like many I started a lib in high school and college but if you're not a dummy things start to make sense shortly after.

Most Trump voters don't like Trump personally or think he's a good role model for their daughters, but they do know that those things are way less important than the fact that Republican policies are much better for their bottom line and their ability to work hard and provide for their families.

Everybody knows the saying:

If you're not a liberal when you're 20 you have no heart. If you're not a conservative when you're 30 you have no brain.

Explain r/k theory. You can summarize. I haven't heard of it.
My biggest gripe with trump is how polarizing he is. Americans should not be shouting liberal suck and Republican racist. Work together to find goals. Not demonize the other side.

I have other problems with him but it's not relevant to his border dispute. And that's the fun thing with statistics you can twist it however you want. I've heard he's had his worst approval month to date and then I see oh yeah he's god emperor MAGA suck it libturds.

I don't think voting will do it.

These corrupt elites are dug in. We need to carve them out at the root.

That means violent uprising.

Government works for the citizens. Not multi-national corporations or "our allies".

American citizens are priority number one. Period.

I agree. I want to at least have an ideal to stand behind that doesn't = 1 giant world government where everyone is forced into an African peasants standard of living.

I'll say it again: the wall is a do-nothing gesture meant to mollify the conservative voting base into believing their politicians are working on the problem.

In reality, Donald Trump and others like him will continue hiring illegals to clean their hotels and pick their crops, and illegals will continue to come, because they know "lucrative" work is available to them.

No, the progressive liberal alternative of porous borders and unlimited illegal asylum is not a good idea. But that doesn't make the wall anything other than a $5+ billion waste of money.

A tiny little wall isn't going to mollify anyone. It's been clearly conveyed, however, that Trump isn't the one to blame for nothing being done. When the recriminations start coming out for 2020 narratives, Trump can certainly offer up congress as the guilty party.
