Hey look, I'm as inclusive and open to different religions and cultures as any liberal, believe it or not. But this comes off as self-serving and disingenuous.

Why? Because they wanted some credit for it? I have no problem with them seeking some good publicity.

Here is another whopper: Last Friday, Trump said that former Presidents have confided to him in private that they wish they had built the wall. Clinton, Bush and Obama have each said that it wasn't them... and does that even make sense that they would? Trump is a liar.

BREAKING. President Trump Planning To Address The Nation Tomorrow Night And It Won’t Be Routine

The word is seeping out that President Trump is asking network for time to cover an address to the nation tomorrow night on the shutdown and border security.
​
In all likelihood the address will take place with US border with Mexico as a backdrop:

As with just about everything else to do with the Trump White House, absolutely nothing is routine. The NYT is also reporting that at least two networks are considering NOT covering the address because they don’t want to give Trump and traction in the budget fight.

I would imagine, truth be told, the White House is jumping up and down at the though of two networks refusing to carry his address while the shutdown is underway. I don’t know what kind of a genius would come up with the idea that playing into the perception of the press as being allied with the Democrats against Trump was a good idea, but highly placed idiots are found in the private sector as well as in government.​

I am going to go ahead and give you the DNC media's recap: "This President is Hitler and a racist and should be impeached"

You all are welcome so now no need to watch any of their coverage

It was probably FDR. Wasn't it Hillary who talked to Eleanor Roosevelt when the Clintons occupied the White House?

I have pretty liberal friends and they tend to be under 50, so they've not needed a lot of medical care in their home countries. That probably helps explain the difference. They certainly are shocked at how much it costs to get routine medical care and have a baby delivered in the US.

Our bill from having our son delivered was over 45k. Insurance covered almost all of it, but it was a completely routine birth. Something is wrong if it costs nearly 45k to have a baby delivered, don't you think?

LOL... Ask your buddies that sue doctors into oblivion when something goes wrong. You are walking thru a minefield with magnetic boots on this issue "counselor". YOUR profession is the root cause of those costs.

What is funny is that Trump has such a need for validation that he fabricates conversations. He does this all the time. It's the sign of an insecure person, who is also, very dishonest.

You need to go to a different hospital. My wife had an unplanned C section with a brief NICU stay and it wasn’t half of that. First kid wasn’t 20% of that.

Also remember that the price is never the price. As a lawyer you should know that. Your bill rate and your percentage of standard on the invoice are very different. If you went into that hospital with no insurance paying cash your bill would be nowhere near $45k.

They heard he was a lawyer and jacked it up for the extra malpractice insurance they would be needing.

It's beginning to look like "style" - phones, tattoos, piercings, etc - win out over any of the basic needs. Abraham Maslow would really get a completely new perspective today.

Probably 85-90% would . Then, we could send the rest to the doctor, and let them take their chances with the medical profession.

Once you accept that drug companies are there for continuing business and profits rather than actually curing and ending diseases, then you are well on your way to figuring out why medical costs are prohibitive. Why develop a med that will cure something when you can hook generation upon generation on the current "wonder drug" and all it's ensuing derivatives ... mega million band aids.

Explain. We spend money on defense so foreign Invaders don't injure and kill us. We spend money on healthcare to avoid the same.

How about too many people sit around and take illegal drugs rather than doing productive work because illegal aliens take jobs and illegal alien couriers bring in the drugs produced on the other side of the border. Prevention takes care of many medical problems. Remember the old saying about idle hands?

Amen......it's a broken system and has been for decades. It would be nice if it wasn't just the democratic party willing to address the issues.

Obamacare was the great enabler if you believe (as reported) that it added millions to healthcare plans. You see, if you never addressed healthcare cost issues when you poured gas on the fire - completely a Dim issue, then you do nothing more than make the fire bigger. Dims didn't fix the problem; they grew it.
