My point is that Republican Red State Politics kills it's citizens. Dems or Reps may live equal life spans in those states, but the reason that they both die at a younger age is Right Wing Red State Policy.
so diet (heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol) and smoking (cancers) are less of a factor in life expectancy then political policy?... got it.. |

HEALTHCARE IS NOT MEDICAL CARE....
healthcare is your choice of what you fu(king do with your body/mind/spirit...via food/exercise/outdoors etc etc......
a doctor telling you to eat an apple a day DOES NOT make the apple any more healthier under 'government healthcare'.....
if you're too stupid and follow EVERYTHING that is stamped out to 'teach' the masses en-mass and not think for yourself then sure you made your bed.... |
| ...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

U.S. Economic Comeback Continues
Quoted Text
On the back of the highest consumer spending in three years, the U.S. economy grew at a rate of 3.2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2013. The growth continued what was a strong finish to the year, as the preceding three months saw growth of 4.1 percent. The continued strength of the economy was likely part of the reason the Federal Reserve announced yesterday it will keep cutting back on bond purchases. The growth came despite a government shutdown, and a significant drop in federal spending.

The plan has several good features. The initial investment can be as small as $25, contributions can be as small as $5 per paycheck, and there are no administrative fees for account owners. (The government picks up that tab.) At many private funds, fees on small accounts can be enough to wipe out returns. The guarantee against loss of principal should induce some nervous types to join. Investors can borrow from their balances, albeit with a penalty. As low as the return is, it’s actually set artificially high by the government, which pays investors the average return on long-term Treasury bonds. “It seems to me like it’s a small step in the right direction,” says William Gale, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Still, he adds, “It’s not going to change us from a nation of spenders to a nation of savers.”

Wow!
What an epic disaster!
Famous words for Dems when it all goes wrong...."I wasn't my responsibility" and "I don't know"
Thanks Obama!

Wow, Stewart actually lined up questions to give her a chance to sound pragmatic and acknowledge the bureaucratic failure in the Federal Government, and she actually doubled down on its competence. Then said she has no responsibility for bureaucratic failures in a bureaucracy she votes to create. |

Obamacare will push 2 million workers out of labor market: CBO Obamacare will push the equivalent of about 2 million workers out of the labor market by 2017 as employees decide either to work fewer hours or drop out altogether, according to the latest estimates Tuesday from the Congressional Budget Office. That’s a major jump in the nonpartisan budget agency’s projections and it suggests the health care law’s incentives are driving businesses and people to choose government-sponsored benefits rather than work. “CBO estimates that the ACA will reduce the total number of hours worked, on net, by about 1.5 to 2 percent during the period from 2017 to 2024, almost entirely because workers will choose to supply less labor — given the new taxes and other incentives they will face and the financial benefits some will receive,” CBO analysts wrote in their new economic outlook. The scorekeepers also said the rollout problems with the Affordable Care Act last year will mean only 6 million people sign up through the state-based exchanges, rather than the 7 million the CBO had originally projected.

Republicans Vote To Kill Thousands in Red States!As many as 17,000 Americans will die directly as a result of states deciding not to expand Medicaid under Obamacare, according to a new study. Researchers from Harvard University and City University of New York have estimated that between 7,115 and 17,104 deaths will be "attributable to the lack of Medicaid expansion in opt-out states" in a study published in Health Affairs. http://healthaffairs.org/blog/.....nd-financial-impacts |

the EXACT reason why it is NOT the government's responsibility to make sure you live....because then it is their choice to choose when you die....much like the monarchies of the past.... a government set above you to make sure you live will also decide when you die.....much like abortion...you're very shortsighted to think otherwise..... medicare doesn't keep you alive medicaid doesn't keep you alive medicine is not a god or magic but it sure as hell scares the pants off of EVERYONE into thinking they are too stupid to know what's best for themselves. |
