I live in Charleston SC area, approaching 60. It will give us the biggest increase we will have in premiums since we moved here in 1997.
I'm curious to see how my friends who are Republican who moaned about rising premium costs will feel when Trumpcare does nothing to reduce their costs and will mean paying more for less.
They'll blame Obama, gays, Muslims, and everyone else but themselves for Trump and his creation, of course, as they do every time. They are the party of no: no policies, no skills, and no accountability.
" After launching Yes California with a splash in 2015, Mr. Marinelli had come under scrutiny for his seemingly cozy relationship with Moscow, in particular, the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, which helped him open a California “embassy” in December.
The Kremlin-backed pro-separatist group also provided him with office space and paid for like-minded separatists to attend a conference in September, according to a Dec. 13 report by KQED-FM, a California public radio station.
Other California independence advocates were alarmed by the reports. The California National Party, which seeks to recognition as a third party, blasted Yes California in a Jan. 21 press release as a “Russian puppet organization,” Business Insider reported."
The modern GOP agenda consists of right, selfish white businessmen convincing poor whites that poor non-whites are the cause of their problems. It's laughably transparent, but it works every time, sadly. All they have to do is wave around the specter of: gays, Muslims, "taking your guns," liberals, or some other drek, and the far right will happily vote themselves into poverty every time. They are so easily manipulated; if Trump offered them a "deal" where he'd shoot them in one foot and then shoot some minority they hate in both feet, most of them would take it - they are so focused on hatred and destroying "the other" that they can't see the damage they are doing.
No matter - rest assured that if Trump and his worthless party pass their "Kill the sick, old, and poor" healthcare bill, it won't take a week after it goes into effect for the right-wingers to clutter up this forum and other such places with whining about how Trump's healthcare bill is all somehow "Obama's fault."
That's pretty much par for the course when you put cultural identity in front of reality. You know, black voters did the same thing. They believed that Obama was going to make a whole new start and raise them up when he was elected. Eight years later, he accomplished very little that mattered in their lives. You can't tell them that though. They are still devoted to the identity and would vote for him in a heartbeat again if they could.
California is often touted as one of the largest (8th I think) economies in the world. A place of high tech. And of course a liberal utopia. Just how is it that, amidst all this success and grandeur...that 40% of the population of the largest city in the country (correct me if I'm wrong on that-didn't verify) live in poverty sufficient to qualify for taxpayer funded health care?
