The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Well . . . by nature, DJT is gregarious, supremely confident, expansive, hyperbolic, and effusive; he also considers himself impervious.
That said, I see a strong need in him to get in the last word and be right ALL the time. What that leads to is throwin a lotta pasta against the wall in full confidence some of it will stick and what falls to the floor will be soon forgotten.
And he’s purty much right on that score, ain’t he, at least most of the time.
What I think was on his mind when he made that impulsive need-to-sound-gracious statement is that the ACA has severely injured our health-care system to the point that it’s failing a lot of people because of prohibitive cost.
I’m sure it made perfectly good sense to him when he blurted it out just trying to be statesmanlike, but as I often told my students, people cannot read your mind, only your words.
And being a rich & powerful Noo Yawkuh, he has very little patience with people, especially rivals or enemies, who don’t “get it.” Being The Donald, he can’t stifle 70 years of personality development and suddenly become a mealy-mouthed circumlocutory politician in a lousy 100 days.
He’s right, of course, in implying that our health-care system is in trouble . . . that’s why he repeatedly made that campaign promise to repeal and replace the fatally flawed ACA.
His intention was good, but as they say about the road to Hell . . . . . . . .

Re: Australia’s health care:
While I’m not condoning their program, it appears to be a mix of state and (seperate) private coverage with those of means encouraged to participate in the latter.
TO QUOTE:
“In an international comparative study of the health care systems in six countries (Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States), found that “Australia ranks highest on healthy lives, scoring first or second on all of the indicators”, although its overall ranking in the study was below the UK and Germany systems, tied with New Zealand’s and above those of Canada and far above the U.S.[24][25]”

@Kid,
“not that long ago that the US had the best survival rates by far for the big illnesses…”
No argument there; we probably have the best medical care; doctors, etc. of anywhere. My only point is that Australia’s system is not exactly a “single payer” system as I understand such. Also Trump may, very well, have had a valid point by comparing the Australia system of financing health care to what we [currently] have known, as “ObamaCare”. In no way, whatsoever, do I condone a single payer system. The one that I’m under, known as Medicare, operates under an un-funded liability of nearly $80,000,000,000,000; about 4x our National Debt!

JMB, don’t you think that is THE nuttiest statement ever? UK healthcare is known to STINK to high heaven…and Australia’s BELOW that but HIGH in health care for ‘healthy lives’
? Germany’s isn’t that hot, either, by the way. I’ve seen it close and personal and I SWEARNUTS.
I don’t think Trump compared Obamacare to Aussie Care….he just waxed ineloquent on how great Aussie healthcare was, not KNOWING IT’S UNIVERSAL, pretty much!

I agree with the continuous coverage requirement tho, too many people would go on ins when they need something then off afterwards. Plus just throttling the ambulance chasers would fix it form a cost standpoint. Haven’t heard the phrase tort reform mentioned since Trump took office. Dissapointing. Though states can do Tort Reform as Texas did. Someone told me doctors were pouring in there afterwards.

Krauthammer’s right…within 7 years, we WILL have universal health care….why not? We practically have it now.
Government should be COMPLETELY out of it…except for Medicare for older folks and Medicaid when needed….Other than that, we need to go back to what it was.
It will NEVER go back because PEOPLE EXPERT FREEBIES IN AMERICA TODAY….there IS no upside to freedom of choice, to independence, pride in ownership of one’s own destiny…there just ISN’T.

Strong sense of deja vu here, ’cause I think I’ve said this before in this forum . . . .
Health care is NOT a right OR an entitlement. In fact, most of what people expect from Uncle Sugar in this country doesn’t fall into the entitlement category at all. Entitlements are earned or paid for in full, such as Veterans’ benefits, Social Security, pensions.
Food stamps, Welfare, subsidized housing, and even health care in its present form are basically socialist wealth redistribution schemes because government cannot give individuals anything except something it’s taken away from somebody else.

YA, I sound a little ‘downer’ but I AM….I feel sorry that older people can’t live with loved ones like they used to, caring for the grandkids, cooking, etc……isn’t going to happen like it used to.
AND I believe people don’t save like they used to because they know there’s freebies coming. I’m guilty of that, too, by the way.
I have a sis who’s benefited greatly from Medicaid but I hate the whole idea of it.
I also have a Romanian friend who is a citizen now and waited till her Medicare kicked in so she could have some very expensive surgeries which I was frankly surprised were covered because they’re mostly cosmetic…but due to breast cancer years ago, so I guess it counted. She didn’t need this, it was just fun to get it paid for…
Heck, THIS woman was able, maybe 35 years ago now, to bring her Romanian nephew here to Johns Hopkins for rare heart surgery…yes, WE paid for his flights, for the WHOLE Johns Hopkins bill, and paid for her to fly there to be with him from L.A., too! WE PAID. Think an American kid could get all that paid for? Or that we’d pay for relatives to fly to be with an American kid?!!!
