It's still better than a lot of other countries. Can you imagine if Bernie sanders is the president? Everybody has "insurance", and a lot of people will rush to the emergency room for a simple cough!

well, just my opinion anyway.

Thing is a lot of people believe "Oh, I have insurance, so I am covered!" No, you are not covered!
During flu season, get your vaccine, and stay at home when you start coughing or sneezing. Stay away from the hospital, probably better for you anyway! Not like the doctors can cure you. Sheesh.

Yup.

Grocery stores here are great at food runs.
It happens here in NJ before EVERY major incoming snowstorm. Half the store gets sold. Takes them 2 days to recover but they are ninjas at it.

SSSSHHHHH. Stop talking truth. You are costing the media companies clicks.

I have no need for a supermarket as I have been dying to test out my cannibal skills. Quite a few admitted chunkers up in here. Time to break out the Chianti.
