Yes, I think they repealed TennCare finding that it almost bankrupted the state. Of course, by applying it to the whole country, the system will surely work. (heavy sarcasm).

. I retain the right to curse for shock value or other good reasons, but it’s not shocking if you do it all the time.

Greater and sincere words have never been spoken. I hope to be like that, me host. I look up to you a lot. But sometimes folks won’t just let that happen. F-k them! Ooops! Sorry.

Here's a domestic example of Massachusetts punishing people for having made a rational choice of health insurance.

Didn’t they repeal, or drastically scale-back, TennCare?

I like all the words in the English language and for that very reason think we need to use the curse words less. Not only to teach children not to be profane but almost equally to preserve what they were meant for: expressing strongly what sometimes needs to be expressed strongly. Shock is a good thing sometimes. And cursing, like silver, loses its currency the more common it becomes.

I think Maine did enact some kind of health care, like Mass., but they’re finding it prohibitively expensive, which may explain her and Collins’ support. The Mainers want it but they can’t afford it, so the plan is to stick the rest of us with it.

Why is it that people who loudly complain about not having government-run health care not move to places like Maine, Massachussetts, or Tennessee?

Come to think of it, advocates of universal health care always point to foreign countries instead of using domestic examples.

Well, at least he has the 5 Nobel Peace Prize committee members warming up to us, even though the rest of the world and most of the country are up in arms.
