Health Care in the USA
The Republicans are on their high horse about healthcare as a politic al strategy AGAIN. The Affordable Care Act and Patient Bill of Rights passed because of majorities of Democrats in both houses of the legislature.
Now that seven Senate Democrats and an independent Senator decided there was too much suffering of the people, the subsidies in the way of a tax credit once a year is going to end. Americans will no longer be able to afford their insurance and will be forced to make decisions no one should have to make.
Worse than the subsidies the law allows for no health insurance as a choice however there is a tax penalty to be paid when that choice is made. This part of the bill will not end just because the tax deductions (subsidies) end. It is this aspect of the law that the Republicans are expecting to work against the people making difficult decisions. The Republicans can even make life worse by increasing this penalty.
Welcome to Trump’s economic hell for Americans. The Republicans are stonewalling the discussions they promised now.
It is about control of the media.
Local parental control of these subjects at Board of Education meetings is where this belongs. Teaching subjects at universities and colleges is not a free for all. The standards are set by governing bodies interested in high standards to ensure their students are equipped for contributing to the real world. There are no subversive courses.
The entire focus on the evils of communism seems like a course that Trump should take, but, in higher education it is all part of the curriculum of politics; different types of governance around the world, etc. History teaches plenty about communism, imperialism, colonialism, and autocrats. A special curriculum in junior and high schools seems odd when history already covers the World Wars.
