But I keep hearing conflicting opinions about why it was terrible. Either Obama was that stupid or the Republicans ruined an initially good plan. I guess the country's so divided that it's hard to find an objective verdict. |

If someone has their house painted and pays cash they'll get a lower price and no one really needs a receipt for a paint job unless it's a capital improvement for a business... but home owners are only looking for a good price for a good job, and for cash there's no tax. |

If we had "socialized" medicine, I might consider it. My commute is 10 minutes. My boss is a software engineer, so no B.S. I set the alarm 7 days a week for my husband's medication schedule-- and I rarely am asleep when it goes off. The dress code where I work is more lax than my personal dress code. Cindy Hamilton |

It still exists although the present administration has weakened it by eliminating mandatory payments into the system and reduced incentives for the insurance companies to lower costs to the consumer. The administration has been unsuccessful in stopping ACA on Constitutional grounds so it's chipping away at it by reducing funding and making insurance harder to get. The net result of all the hard work by the administration and the Republicans has been a rise in uninsured Americans since 2016. The reality is that universal healthcare will remain a distant dream until our government gets rid of the "public servants" that value money over people. |

Russia, Brazil and the US are now on the EU's list of countries that have no control over Covid and can't enter. That's embarrassing company to be in. |

Pretty much the case. He tried to do something never done before but good intentions turned to crap. Trump said he was going to replace it with a better plan so it should be coming up very soon. I think most politicians are afraid to tackle it now. No matter what they do, half the voters will be POd. |

Obamacare, could pass into law because the Democratic Party briefly held the White House, a majority in the House of Representatives and a supermajority in the Senate in 2010.

My heating and a/c guy has a really lucrative business because he's fair, honest, and does not cheat his customers. He told me back in the winter when he was here his and his wife's health insurance premiums dropped from $20,000 per to $10,000 per because he had just qualified for Medicare. |

My husband took the training to get a concealed-carry permit in Michigan. The training covered home invasion. You can shoot only if you feel you are in personal danger of injury or death. Before shooting you should (or must--I can't recall) say, "I have a gun. Get out of my house." If they still come at you after that, you may shoot. Cindy Hamilton |

And you can defend the life of another, not just your own life, by using deadly force. Just like the cops can. |

You need to get a license to buy and own firearms, and a special on to get a handgun. You can't carry them around. They have to be trigger locked and in a locked case. If you belong to a recognized gun club they can arrange for a transport permit (ATT) for you. That will authorize you to transport it.... trigger locked and in a locked case and in the trunk... between your residence and the range and home. Your ammunition has to be in a separate locked case. You can use deadly force to protect yourself, but only if it is a reasonable use of force under the circumstances. It had better not be done with a handgun. Given the safe storage requirements, if you had time to go and get your gun in its locked case, and to get ammunition to load it, then you weren't in enough danger to use lethal force. |

It's just a baked food dish. There's no reason to compare it to anything except baked cauliflower mash with stuff on top. He also used to make spaghetti squash with tomato sauce. Again, it is what it is. A vegetable dish with sauce. These dishes are just fine - if you're into vegetables. --- It's ok instead of rice too:)) |

What we need is fake, low-carb, rice. That would be just swell. |
