Good he needs to be impeached for being an imposter. He's unfit for the job he has. He's a crook and deserves jail time. But, he pulled strings and kept his baby boy out of jail. He's a disgrace.
They didn't survey enough people to make it a valid survey. Should have sent one to every retiree in the country. They only took 500 retirees. How is that even valid? The entire thing is a farce. Anyone who has ever documented anything with a survey knows you need to get a random group over a specific area. They didn't do that. They found a few people and asked questions.
Here's the other problem with insurance. The deductibles are so high, most people can't pay them. As a senior citizen whose crappy insurance is through the state of Michigan I know. Mine get higher every year. I have an $850 deductible. I usually have that covered in the first 6 months of the year. Why? Because I am diabetic. I have a PCP, an endocrinologist, a nephrologist, an allergist, and a cardiologist. Five appointments in the first 6 months of the year at a minimum of $250 each. That's $1,250. Then I have a $900 co-pay. That's $1700 out of pocket for the year. I have yet to make the $900. I have come close but never get there. Not even when I was seeing a dermatologist. Not even the year I spent half a day in ER. The ObamaDoesn'tCare act is killing those people working and retirees because we have to carry the burden for those who don't work. If I see my doctor for more than 15 minutes, someone comes to remind them they are over the limit. Which is ridiculous. Insurance is a racket and the only people making money is the insurance company. Insurance companies don't want to pay out. We may need a national insurance, but not one that cripples the people it's supposed to care for. And still the homeless can't get medical care. They don't qualify for Medicaid because they don't have a permanent address. Which also means they can't get food stamps or EBT cards, Bridge Cards in MI. They system is broken. It needs to seriously be overhauled.
Teachers who hear from former students feel blessed to be remembered. I kept in touch with my fourth grade teacher until the time of her death. One of her daughter's contacted me when she died because her mom talked about me all the time. I have a few high school teachers I keep in touch with through Facebook. My biggest fan for my books was my middle school band director. He told everyone about them. He and his wife got me a book signing at a Lion's Club Regional Conference one year. Best advertising ever is word of mouth. I see some of my former students on a semi-regular basis. A couple of them live in Eastern Kentucky and I try to see them when I get over that way. One actually came to Nancy with her mom, daughter, and a family friend. We had a great lunch. I return to Michigan every summer for a couple of weeks to see family and friends. I have a few students and some of their parents I meet for lunch or dinner. It's always a great time. I have others who keep in contact through Facebook.
