It seems as if Bloomberg has a long history of making donations to political parties.

New York Post no less.
https://nypost.com/2020/01/29/bloomberg-gave-800k-to-democratic-party-during-campaign-launch/
During his tenure as mayor when he ran with Republican Party backing, he donated millions of dollars to GOP campaign committees.

But in recent years, Bloomberg has opened his wallet for Democrats. He donated more than $100 million to help Democrats in the 2018 mid-term elections.

1.1 million seems like chump change. Why didn't they re-write the rules for the 100 million?
Occam's razor. Simple answer - they finally realized the need to change an unfair and outdated rule.

So you are saying the DNC is stupid and should have held out for more ? I concur . When you decide to sell out to a billionaire , at least make it worth it . 😊

I can see that you see the conspiracy unraveling before your very eyes.
He has a history of giving millions to both parties.
A rule that had become outdated was changed to a better rule in order to let a viable candidate be part of the debates.

Selling out to do the right thing.....pretty smooth.
End result of changing the rule: viable candidate allowed in the debate.
End result of NOT changing the rule: viable candidate unfairly kept out of the debate.
The correct thing happened.

You're a class A example of a dolt or a Homer Simpson walking around loose. If Republicans had done such a thing as the Dems are doing/or have pulled off here you'd be screeching from the mountain's highest point in the USA. It's just fine & dandy that you think of whatever the loony Dems do is pretty smooth and great.....you're a delusional freak of nature. Even having people explain things to you you're too stupid to see what's wrong w/what Dems do to cheat at winning elections......because nobody in their right mind would vote for their policies for America. So Dems cheat to win.

You know the definition of Occam’s Razor right ? You see all those words you’ve been using to try and explain away .....a billionaire benefiting from donations ?

I do. The simple answer is the one you should go with.
And that is exactly what I am doing. Give it a try.

Luther just doesn’t like admitting the left would do something like that . He would have to adjust his continuum. Lol

And by selling out, what exactly are you suggesting they did?
Change an outdated rule that unfairly punished one candidate to a better rule that allowed the participation of all viable candidates in the presidential debates? That selling out?

Allow insurance companies to increase rates based on preexisting conditions and things will get scary for many of us very quickly.

Allow insurance companies to deny coverage for X months for pre-existing conditions, and the bankruptcy paperwork will start to flow.

Being CID is already a full time job on its own, navigating doctor and hospital policies and figuring out how to do things so you're not paying six payment plans from one procedure. It's as if there's a segment of our population that sees being poor or disabled as weakness and likes kicking us when we're down.

Or maybe the portion of the population that is struggling to keep their heads above water dont like the government/insurance piling on to hold us down.

It's like some people dont want us to succeed in order to spite our good choices and hard work.

I can’t understand why he is bragging about his military service when all he did was sign up, go work in a cubicle , then come home. No basic training required. Heck, my old out of shape butt could do that!

You want the government(taxpayers) or Insurance to fund your sickness for cheap and lose money thus having a much higher chance of going bankrupt and causing other people to not have coverage? You think insurance is choosing to "pile on" when chemo can go into the millions and you've only paid for a small fraction of that. 8k a year for 24 years is less than 200k. Hell double your premium and it's not enough. Is insurance really the problem or the cost they have to pay?

Why arent you blaming the healthcare corporations for charging so much for so little? Why arent you blaming the medical machine manufacturers for charging as much as they do? Or the plethora of medical billers that engage in Medicare fraud, insurance fraud, etc. that can make the claim process more difficult. You WANT insurance to question stuff. If they didnt, costs go up as does your premium. it's simple number crunching.

Per the NAIC, the combined ratio for health insurance was 98.4% in 2016 which means the assumed profit of expenses/premium is 1.6%. That's it. That's the margin. It isnt some big figure where they are "piling on"

But no, insurance trying to stay afloat is the boogeyman. You're blaming the wrong party here.

To our socialists here, why stop at student debt? If elected can I get crazy bernie to pay off my mortgage?

If health care is a right , I demand Bernie and the government also pay for the firearms of my choice ... equal to my health care allowances . If forgiveness of medical debts and student loans are happening because it affects my ability to make money and support my family , causing me to struggle , I demand the government forgive all my debts that cause me to struggle . 😊
