8 Million And Counting

What is the scoreboard for you might question….this is just to let the world know what Donny and those slugs that are in his employ are doing to the health of this nation.

The unprecedented healthcare cuts that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party enacted last summer have impacted people in all 50 US states, stripping insurance coverage from around 8 million Americans total and wreaking havoc on hospitals and other providers nationwide.

The advocacy group Protect Our Care on Tuesday released state-by-state fact sheets detailing how many people have lost Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Affordable Care Act coverage due to Republican policy decisions, including the party’s roughly $900 billion in cuts to Medicaid and decision to let enhanced ACA subsidies expire, sending premiums skyrocketing.

“Eight million Americans have lost their health care because Donald Trump and Republicans decided they would rather hand out tax breaks to billionaires than protect working families,” said Brad Woodhouse, the president of Protect Our Care. “Every day that healthcare becomes more expensive, a family is forced to make an impossible choice between putting food on the table and staying covered, a senior is forced to ration their medication, and an expectant mother has to travel farther to access maternity care.”

I still say let’s give Medicare For All (M4A)…..what have we to lose?

To be honest I want to give you an opposing view….this is from the website Reason….keep in mind their slogan is “Free Minds and Free Markets”….so with that in mind they are basically on the side of for profit healthcare…

“Free healthcare is cool,” comedian Shane Gillis recently said on The Joe Rogan Experience. “We should have that.”

“You should treat the entire country like it’s a community,” Rogan replied. “If you had a community, would you want the sickest person to fucking die who could be very valuable if you could take care of them, and do you have the resources to take care of them?”

While support for “free” healthcare in the United States is not new—Harry Truman campaigned on universal health insurance in 1948, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.) has popularized the “Medicare For All” slogan in recent years—the policy has received renewed interest of late. The Democratic Socialists of America have made universal healthcare “at no cost to individuals” a key component of their party’s expensive platform.

But it is not just political hopefuls who like the idea of universal healthcare; academics seem to as well. A recent study by the Yale School of Public Health claims that single-payer universal healthcare would save more than 100,000 lives a year, and would supposedly cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace. The study, which has not been peer-reviewed yet, appears to come to its conclusions by modeling a scenario that assumes cheaper pharmaceutical prices, less administrative overhead, reduced fraud, and fewer emergency visits.

…

The U.S. healthcare system has plenty of problems. While the promise of “free stuff” may sound tempting, the experience of countries with universal healthcare should make Americans deeply skeptical of the idea that putting the government in charge of the entire system is a panacea.

https://reason.com/2026/08/19/universal-healthcare-sounds-great-heres-whats-happening-in-countries-that-have-it/

The part about long waits for treatment….when I needed a gastro doctor it took me 14 weeks to get an appointment….we have those long waits, maybe not as stark as others but they are there.

If they are against M4A then how about giving Americans the same coverage as Congress people?  It is free and their waits are shorter and their drugs are mostly free….how about that for a solution?

In case there are those that still do not know what M4A is….let me help….here are the basics….

Medicare for All would transform the program into a single-payer health insurance program that would provide all Americans with healthcare coverage.

Single-payer healthcare systems, also called universal healthcare, are currently in place in various countries worldwide. These healthcare systems can have differing elements, such as:

  • how the health insurance is paid for
  • how the healthcare is delivered
  • how the health facilities are owned and operated

So yes I support M4A and will do so as long as I kind breathe on my own.

How about you?

Want To Save Lives?

If so then Medicare For All would be the road to travel….I have been a supporter of the idea since its inception….and now a new study has shown just how effective it could be….

Previous research has shown that shifting the United States to a Medicare for All system could save roughly 68,000 lives and $650 billion per year, but a new study by experts at Yale University suggests the savings would likely be even greater on both fronts.

In a Tuesday statement, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), lead sponsor of the Medicare for All Act in the Senate, highlighted the findings, published recently on medRxiv, a server for preprints, or research that hasn’t yet been peer reviewed.

…

“We estimate that such a system would reduce national health expenditure by $1,041 billion annually,” they explained. “Sources of savings include reductions in administrative overhead, pharmaceutical prices, fraudulent billing, and avoidable emergency care. Combined with the reversal of recent retractions, universal coverage would save over 114,000 lives annually.”

Specifically, as Sanders’ office detailed in a statement, Americans would save:

  • $377.5 billion by paying no more than other major countries for prescription drugs;
  • $286.3 billion by eliminating bureaucracy and waste;
  • $285.7 billion by curbing fraudulent billing;
  • $100 billion by preventing costly emergency room and hospital visits; and
  • $295.6 billion by reimbursing providers fairly for the care they provide.

I would say that is good news, right?

But not to worry….health insurance and other corporate donors will be fighting hard to defeat any chance of M4A having any success…

The investigative outlet Sludge published an analysis on Monday showing that the health insurance industry is among the corporate donors to Third Way, a think tank that is reportedly preparing to pour $15 million into an effort to combat the rise of candidates who support Medicare for All and other progressive policies.

Third Way, which has long been hostile to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and Medicare for All in particular, does not publicly disclose its donors. But Sludge’s David Moore uncovered some of the group’s benefactors by examining corporate tax filings, which revealed that the private insurance industry group Better Solutions for Healthcare (BSFH) donated $50,000 to Third Way’s advocacy arm in 2024.

Among BSFH’s members are the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and the health insurance industry trade group AHIP. Moore noted that BSFH is “run out of the offices of leading Republican digital and strategy firm Targeted Victory in Arlington” and was founded by GOP operative Alexander Schriver.

Sludge’s review of corporate tax filings showed other healthcare industry donors to Third Way, including CVS Health and Johnson & Johnson.

“Another corporate lobbying heavyweight, the Business Roundtable (BRT), gave $50,000 to Third Way in 2024, up from the $25,000 it gave in 2023 and down from the $75,000 it gave in 2022,” Moore reported. “Each year in 2019, 2020, and 2021, BRT gave $50,000 to Third Way. The CEO group’s health insurance members include the heads of UnitedHealth, Cigna, Elevance (formerly Anthem), CVS Health—all members of AHIP (formerly America’s Health Insurance Plans), save for UnitedHealth—as well as healthcare company Centene and many Big Pharma firms like Johnson & Johnson.”

Again not to worry the chance of getting good healthcare is small because the Congress is owned by the people that are fighting this attempt.

This is a little something for you to mull over while enjoying your morning coffee…..

Your medical records are private, right?  But for how long?

You might assume that what you tell a doctor stays between you, your physician and perhaps your insurer. But the reality is more complicated.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the federal privacy law that governs health information and is commonly known as HIPAA, is narrower than its reputation suggests. It regulates hospitals, physicians, insurers and their business associates, but not the health data you generate everywhere else: not the period-tracking application on your phone, the internet search you ran about a diagnosis, the DNA you mailed to a genealogy company or the wearable that counts your heartbeats.

Even the records HIPAA does cover can be shared, sold or handed to the government in ways that might surprise you.

This gap in protection matters more than ever because the U.S. government is pushing hard to gather health data domestically and abroad. This is happening even as a growing body of research shows that the safeguard which these efforts to collect data lean on – anonymizing data by removing identifying information to make it difficult to trace back to an individual – is far weaker than officials claim.

Americans need to wake up and smell the manure in the road.

This Is A Scary Thought

Under normal circumstances if anything were to happen to the president then the VP would step in to keep the government moving…..in that case logically Vance would graduate to the “big chair’.

But there are some think Donny would take a different route….a it is a scary scenario….

As questions continue to swirl around Donald Trump’s health, political analyst David Rothkopf believes the president is preparing to shift power to one of his most loyal sycophants.

Appearing on The Daily Beast Podcast, Rothkopf argued that one of the president’s most trusted aides—not Vice President JD Vance—could take charge of the White House if Trump can no longer handle the job; he identified that person as Stephen Miller.

“This is an 80-year-old guy who is obviously not physically or mentally healthy or up to the job he’s got,” the political analyst told host Joanna Coles. “Trump’s schedule is so micromanaged these days, and he does a couple of hours a day, he doesn’t appear on TV, he does fewer of these open press things than he used to do, and it’s because people are sort of easing him away.”

“This happened with Biden, by the way, where they just sort of don’t put you center stage. And it does raise a question, which is: If he declines further, if he is less capable of handling the job, who’s going to handle it for him?” he added.

Rothkopf said Miller taking charge like that wouldn’t be unprecedented, explaining that similar situations occurred during the Reagan and Nixon administrations.

“We have had multiple times in our history—after Eisenhower’s heart attacks, when FDR was in his declining health at the end of his term, when Woodrow Wilson was bedridden after a stroke—where other people did the job of president,” he continued.

“And I’ve got to tell you, you look at Donald Trump, you look at the bruises, you look at his behavior, you look at his age, you look at his family history, and we could be heading for one of these periods where somebody other than Trump is actually, behind the scenes, the acting president.”

Though Vice President JD Vance would become president if Trump were to resign or die in office, Rothkopf said that’s not exactly how it works in the White House.

“Power flows from the president, from the people closest to the president, from the people who control his schedule, from the people who send out his statements,” he explained, saying that Vance is not involved in any of that.

Is it possible that the cue ball fascist could get the power if anything were to happen to our beloved leader?

This is something to think about…..Miller carves the power and he would be a horrible choice IMO.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Putting Children At Risk

This group leading the country has already but our children at risk by depriving them of the food that some need to survive and now he, Donny and RJK,Jr, want the children to expose themselves to debilitating diseases….

President Trump on Monday signed an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote his long-held but discredited theory that childhood shots should be spaced out into separate medical visits. The order advocates separating the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different shots administered in separate appointments, and directs the nation’s health department to improve vaccine research, according to a White House fact sheet on the order. Separate measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines for children are not currently available in the United States, and vaccines are already extensively researched, the AP reports.

Speaking about the order at the Oval Office on Monday, Trump repeatedly suggested the number or timing of vaccines could play a role in rising rates of autism spectrum disorder, even as scientific consensus and decades of studies have firmly concluded there is no link. He also touted several changes to the childhood vaccine schedule that his health department has already attempted, but that have been blocked by a federal judge. He said his administration would no longer recommend COVID-19, flu, and hepatitis B vaccinations for children.

  • Trump said he wants to find out “what’s going on with autism,” Mediaite reports. “It’s many, many times what it used to be years ago, and it gets progressively worse, and we’ve had progressively more and more vaccines,” he said, adding, “Very simply, large amounts of vaccine—large amounts—like vats of vaccine are currently pumped into your child’s body.”
  • The renewed focus on vaccines marks a departure from his administration’s recent efforts to emphasize less controversial health policies related to healthy eating, drug price negotiations and medical fraud crackdowns ahead of November’s midterm elections, the AP reports.
  • Public health experts have raised concerns that spacing out shots as Trump suggests can lead to an increased risk that children become infected with a vaccine-preventable disease before returning for another visit. Childhood vaccines—and how and when to give them in combination—go through rigorous studies, and safety tracking continues for years as the shots are used.
  • “I’m a doctor. This executive order is wrong,” Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy said on X. “The President does not have the expertise to make these changes.” Vaccines, Cassidy said, are effective, “overwhelmingly safe,” and do not cause autism. “Breaking up vaccines will mean children have to get more shots to get the same protection, not fewer shots,” he said. “It will increase hesitancy and make children less safe. Parents should listen to their child’s pediatrician about vaccines rather than listening to an inaccurate executive order. This is so wrong.”
  • Even as the order calls for revised vaccine recommendations, states, not the federal government, have the authority to require vaccinations for schoolchildren. The order advises states with school vaccine mandates to consider updating their laws to reflect the administration’s preferred schedule, the fact sheet said. Many states have already said that they no longer follow federal guidance and instead rely on recommendations from groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Washington Post reports.
  • Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist before he entered politics, set out to overhaul immunization guidance in the first year of Trump’s term. He fired an entire 17-member vaccine advisory committee, installing replacements who made far more restrictive recommendations that have since been halted by a federal judge. He also personally directed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism, without supplying any new evidence to support the change.
  • Scientific consensus and decades of studies have firmly concluded that there is no link between childhood vaccines and autism. On Monday, Kennedy repeated his assertion that he believes an unknown environmental factor is to blame for rising autism diagnoses and said that his department will deliver research findings “as soon as they are ready.”

If this goes forth stand back and watch the problems that he creates…..think Whooping cough and measles, and you cannot see this as a good thing.

Children in the crosshairs.

Health Update

First I would like to thank my readers that shown concern for my hospital visit yesterday…..I appreciate the concern and kind words.

I had have 2 procedures yesterday and I had to be there at 0645 which I was and checked in….they got to me at 0930….I hate waiting and thinking….I has out after the 2 procedures at 1130 still loopy from the gas….

The doctor came in and told me what he had found….one procedure was good and he could see no problems the other was inconclusive and he said we would give it awhile and run the procedure again….oh f–cking joy.

My daughter was great she hung in there with me and made jokes trying to cheer me up….it did not work…..but she tried and I love her for that.

After I got home I went to bed and did not move until about midnight….now I am drinking coffee and trying to get caught up on the news which by the way was not all that thrilling so I really did not miss anything, did I?

Thanx you guys for caring and all the kind words.

Today is another doctor’s visit….at least this one is at a descent time….I wonder what this one will have for me?

as long as I am giving a health update….news for Medicare (that would be me)….

A federal program that has helped steady premiums for Medicare prescription drug plans is going away. The Trump administration will phase out $3.6 billon in subsidies to insurers after 2026, saying the companies no longer need the support on Medicare Part D plans, reports the Wall Street Journal. The move means that millions of seniors may face higher Medicare drug premiums next year, notes the New York Times, but the particulars likely won’t become clear until the fall.

Administration official tells the Journal that about 45% of Medicare Part D enrollees are projected to face monthly hikes of roughly $11 to $20, and 30% would see increases of under $10, though some could avoid increases by switching plans. The remaining 25% would see no hike or perhaps a decrease. Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, framed the move on X as ending a Biden-era “bailout” that he said encouraged higher pricing and gave “billions” to big insurers, per Reuters. Still, analysts say rising use of pricey GLP-1 and specialty drugs—and cost shifts under the Inflation Reduction Act—will keep pressure on premiums.

Let me be honest….all these twats should be taken out and shoot twice to be sure they are dead.

Sorry about that but I have had enough of this crap.

Why Is Healthcare So Expensive?

There is the question that asked every damn day.

My declining years I have had more health problems than I had 50 years prior and even with Medicare the procedures and visits are damn expensive.

Here is a look at 12 reason for the high cost of health care…..

Nobody sits down and decides to spend $15,474 on healthcare in a single year. It happens in increments – the specialist co-pay, the bill that arrives six weeks after the procedure, the prescription that somehow costs $400 even with insurance. And yet, that figure is exactly what the United States spent per person on healthcare in 2024, according to CMS National Health Expenditure data. Switzerland, the second most expensive country on earth for healthcare, spent significantly more than $10,000 per person. The average among other wealthy nations was $7,371. The U.S. is not edging out the competition – it is in a different bracket entirely.

Despite spending roughly twice as much per capita as comparable countries, the U.S. actually uses fewer healthcare services than many of its peers – meaning prices, not volume of care, are the primary driver of the gap. Americans are not visiting the doctor twice as often or taking twice as many medications. They are simply paying more for every single thing that happens when they do.

The reasons U.S. healthcare costs so much are structural, interdependent, and decades in the making. Here are twelve of them.

12 Reasons the U.S. Pays More for Healthcare Than Anyone Else

I know most of us have our opinion on this subject……

I say Medicare For All will go a long way in helping many of us cope with the health problems of old age.

News Of The Day

Most of my regulars know that I am fighting cancer and my last scans showed a new spot on my left lung so after more scans and a biopsy I met with my doctors yesterday for the news….to tell the truth I was apprehensive with the way things have been going.

The doctor sat me down and announced that the tests came back that it was not another cancer….(whew!)

But of course they want to keep an eye on it for good measures but so far the only one they are concerned with is the original tumor and the good news there is that it is not growing and shrinking ever so damn slowly.

Because of the great news I took my daughter out for lunch at our favorite eatery that is part of my butcher’s new business….the food is excellent and I need that huge burger to celebrate.

I would like to offer my deepest thank you for all my followers that have shown concern on my fight…..I appreciate the concern and the good thoughts.

Now that is out of the way (for now) it is back to the crap that this country is going through thanx to the old wrinkled idiot we have leading the nation.

Thanx again!

M4A? Yes Please!

M4A?  Medicare For All.

back in 2019 I wrote about this proposal….a proposal that I feel has some merit….for those that may have missed my post…..it explains what this policy would look like…..

Medicare For All

I bring up this because of the plan that the GOP and Donny are offering the people….

The Senate failed to get anywhere on the health care issue this week. Now it’s the House’s turn to show what it can do. Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled a Republican alternative late Friday, a last-minute sprint as his party refuses to extend the enhanced tax subsidies for those who buy policies through the Affordable Care Act, also called ObamaCare, which are expiring at the end of the year, per the AP. Those subsidies help lower the cost of coverage. Johnson huddled behind closed doors in the morning—as he did days earlier this week—working to assemble the package for consideration as the House focuses the final days of its 2025 work on health care.

“House Republicans are tackling the real drivers of health care costs to provide affordable care,” Johnson said in a statement announcing the package. He said it would be voted on next week. Later Friday, though, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said, “House Republicans have introduced toxic legislation that is completely unserious, hurts hardworking America taxpayers, and is not designed to secure bipartisan support. If the bill reaches the House floor, I will strongly oppose it.”

The House GOP offered a 100-page-plus package that focuses on long-sought GOP proposals to enhance access to employer-sponsored health insurance plans and clamp down on so-called pharmacy benefit managers. Republicans propose expanding access to what’s referred to as association health plans, which would allow more small businesses and self-employed individuals to band together and purchase health coverage. Proponents say such plans increase the leverage businesses have to negotiate a lower rate, but critics say the plans provide skimpier coverage than what’s required under the Affordable Care Act.

The Republicans’ proposal would also require more data from pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, as a way to help control drug costs. Critics say PBMs have padded their bottom line and made it more difficult for independent pharmacists to survive. Additionally, the GOP plan includes mention of cost-sharing reductions for some lower-income people who rely on ObamaCare, but those don’t take effect until January 2027. The emerging package doesn’t include an extension of an enhanced tax credit for millions of Americans who get insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act. More here.

This proposal is pure GOP manure!

It will help very few secure adequate and inexpensive health care.

People are starting to wake up to the problem that expanding health coost will do to their family…..

In less than a month, barring some kind of congressional intervention that probably isn’t going to happen at this point, the ACA subsidies are going to end and monthly premiums are going to skyrocket for the 90 percent of ACA enrollees who are relying on them.

Americans aren’t too happy about that — even during the shutdown, over 70 percent of us still wanted to see them extended, including half of Republicans (also — 72 percent of “non-MAGA” Republicans).

This may be part of why recent polling has shown that a large majority of Americans are once again in favor of Medicare for All.

It’s true! A survey from Data For Progress published late last month found that 65 percent of us either strongly or somewhat support “creating a national health insurance program, sometimes called ‘Medicare for All,’” including 49 percent of Republicans.

Time to stop playing favorites and think will be best for the health of your family.

I feel strongly that M4A is the way to go.

The “Fart Walk”

Thanksgiving is done for now and onto Christmas.

To close out this week of enjoy and family I saw this report and wanted to add it for a little humor.

This FYI is a bit late for T’giving but there is another big meal coming in less than a week…..

There is a thing after the big holiday meal…..a “fart walk”…..

After your Thanksgiving meal, you might want to consider taking a post-dinner “fart walk”—doctor’s orders. Gastroenterologists say a light stroll after a big holiday feast can help ease bloating and gas, according to experimental research that found mild activity such as walking or gentle cycling helps the body expel not only gas from one’s last meal but also gas “hanging around even at baseline,” leaving you feeling “better off than you started,” per the Washington Post.

The recommendation is backed by an unusual study where researchers infused gas directly into volunteers’ intestines and measured what happened during rest and exercise. Sitting upright is also found to be better than lying down, with any movement helping to move things along. For those prone to bloating or conditions like IBS, gentle exercise also reduced uncomfortable symptoms.

The science behind this is simple: Our guts generate about half a gallon of gas daily, most of which is efficiently removed. A big meal, however, can tip the balance. A brief walk not only helps with gas but also tamps down on the rise in blood sugar that follows a meal, per the Post. If bloating is a constant companion, doctors say it’s worth checking in with a physician to rule out other issues.

“Fart walks” aren’t a new thing: People noted last year that the term was coined by wellness influencer and author Mairlyn Smith, and there’s even now a Wikipedia page devoted to the post-turkey regimen. The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, has more on what’s known as the holiday “cousin walk”—when certain relatives dip out of the house to secretly smoke pot.

Just a suggestion to help one make it through the over-eating of the holidays…..and after I read this I knew I had a post waiting to inform and entertain.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and can bounce back after the holiday meal and heavy shopping….

Uncle Don On Healthcare

The GOP has no idea or inclination to do anything about the shoddy healthcare here3 in the US….but never fear Uncle Don has a plan (he always has a plan)….

The White House is circulating a proposal that would extend subsidies to help consumers pay for coverage under the Affordable Care Act for two more years, as millions of Americans face spiking health care costs when the current tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year, the AP reports. The draft plan suggests that President Trump is open to extending a provision of Obamacare as his administration and congressional Republicans search for a broader policy solution to a fight that has long flummoxed the party. The White House stresses that no plan is final until Trump announces it. The subsidies were at the heart of the Democrats’ demands in the government shutdown fight that ended earlier this month. Most Democratic lawmakers had insisted on a straight extension of the tax credits as a condition of keeping the government open.

Eligibility for the Obamacare subsidies, which were put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic to help people afford health care coverage, would be capped at 700% of the federal poverty level, according to two people with knowledge of the proposal. The baseline tax credits that were originally part of the Affordable Care Act were capped at 400% of the federal poverty level, but that cut-off was suspended because of the temporary COVID-era credits that allowed middle- and higher-income people to benefit from subsidies too. The White House would also require those on Obamacare, regardless of the type of coverage, to pay some sort of premium for their Obamacare plans. That would effectively end zero-premium plans for those with lower incomes, addressing a concern from Republicans that the program has enabled fraud.

As the White House worked quietly on its plan, led by the Domestic Policy Council, key lawmakers on Capitol Hill have drafted their own proposals. For instance, Florida Sen. Rick Scott, Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy and others have proposed various ideas for redirecting the program’s spending on federal subsidies into health savings accounts that enrollees could use to shop for plans or defray out-of-pocket costs. Scott’s plan has been discussed with the White House multiple times since it was released Thursday, according to a person familiar not authorized to discuss the private conversations. Sources tell CNN that some Republicans are “balking” at Trump’s plan even though it has yet to be officially released, and that the administration delayed announcing the plan due to the GOP pushback.

Cool.

Buy why the push back on the ACA after demonizing it for years?

I think the two big issues in the upcoming mid-terms will be healthcare and economics….so is Donny trying to get a jump on the competition?

I see the GOP is pouting that Donny has de4cided to travel this route….will the party of hate win in the end?
