Seems there is a push to fundamentally change America away from a democracy and those who formerly identified as "conservatives" have been commandeered to be the cheerleaders for this change, not the facilitators thereof, just the whiny voice behind it. Sad thing is, they don't even know it . . . or at least act that way.
Because the American Public is sick and tired of you and your ilk, we will drive America towards a Greater path.
No matter how much you try to block the Change it will happen.
This latest fiasco with the ACA is why we have President Trump, the rates are sooo God Damn too high, the coverage sucks, you cannot
pick and choose an affordable health plan as " Butthole " promised because the hole system is absolutely rigged financially.
The system needs to collapse financially once and for all, no more subsidies, no more special deals, just let it collapse.
And there are four States that need to feel the PAIN real bad.....
1. Lisa Murkowski's - Alaska
2. John McCain's - Arizona
3. Rand Paul's - Kentucky
4. Susan Collin's - Maine
And about that " whiny " cry I hear increasing all the time from your posts......
You picked your battle, now stand up like a man and try and fight or admit you were
wrong and join the side that supports the TRUTH.
Are you paying your fair share?
California schools face $24 billion in retiree health costs
SACRAMENTO - California schools are on the hook for $24 billion in future health care costs for their retirees, a mountain of debt that's forcing some districts to curb benefits or spend less on teacher salaries and classroom equipment, according to a new state report.
Los Angeles Unified School District boasts a whopping 56 percent share — or $13.5 billion — of the unfunded liability, although it educates nine percent of California's public school population. It's historically provided some of the most generous retiree health benefits, including lifetime coverage for retirees and their spouses.
Teachers' union representatives argued good health care is an essential tool for recruiting and retaining teachers. But the looming debt means newer teachers are offered skimpier benefits and less money is available to spend in classrooms.
"Districts have to pay our bills and our basic bills are employee costs," said Teri Burns, a lobbyist for the California School Boards Association. "As that goes up, there's just that much less that's available for everything else — books and modernization, computers, professional development."
Beyond retiree health benefits, California's teacher pension fund is facing nearly $100 billion in future payments it can't currently afford.
"A hundred and 25 billion is like an anchor for families with kids in public schools," said David Crane, a Stanford University lecturer who writes on state pensions. "It drags down the performance of schools because the money doesn't even make it into the classroom. It's a really big problem."

"It’s uncertain how much immigrants in the United States illegally cost taxpayers, but FAIR’s data is largely based on broad estimates and assumptions. Another report by a conservative think tank pegged the amount at about $85 billion a year. Reports by pro-immigration or neutral groups have come in significantly lower, and other reports have been inconclusive.
Estimating the costs of illegal immigration is extremely difficult and produces dramatically different figures, depending on the source. Yes, there are costs. But Trump is selecting the highest of all possible estimates from a range that varies widely.
We rate Trump’s statement Mostly False."
