A look back at why we're such a divided country

[Ray From Cleveland]

Well then, continue paying a portion of it. What is your problem? So that there is no misunderstanding,
someone pays for health insurance whether it is you paying a portion or your employer covering the entire cost. Working for a business and being responsible for meeting the overhead out of your pocket are 2 different ballgames. Again, you have no clue.

To repeat myself, there is no free anything. Employees work for wage and benefits. Nobody gives anybody anything for free. You join the military, you don't make much money. When you get out, there are a host of benefits you can take advantage of. Because you get those benefits doesn't mean you got them for free, you worked X amount of years for those benefits. Everything you get from your job, you worked for. You may have better wages and less benefits. You may have worked for lower wage with good benefits, but one way or another, you worked for whatever you got by an employer.

He’s a failure.

Congress failed

or maybe not

if the goal was to keep the government put of the hands of the people then they succeeded

You are correct, but employees take for granted a benefit that they do not contribute financially too.

He promised a thing and failed to deliver.

That makes him a failure.

We are a divided country because have a bunch of Useful Idiot shitheads that are hell bent on making the US a Socialist shithole and there is still a sizeable number that don't want it.

Just like Socialist revolutions in other countries that always have led to disaster.

The sad thing is that they will win in the long run. When the filthy ass Democrats opened up the US to immigration to the Third World shitass and allowed tens of millions of worthless welfare queen Illegals flood in the demographics were change to give the Socialist dumbasses the numbers.

The Democrats learning how to steal elections like we saw in November is the nail in the coffin.

Some do and some don't. Most places today have an employee contribution to keep up with excessively rising healthcare costs. If they don't want to go that route, then employers keep downgrading the plan. Deductibles go up and/or employees get less coverage. That's what happened at the last job I worked at because my employer didn't want to deal with employee contributions. When I first got the job, we had decent coverage, a 500 dollar deductible, prescriptions and so on. By the time Commie Care started, the deductible was 2K as well as out of pocket, he dropped prescription coverage years earlier, and we didn't see much in wage increases, not even cost of living. It all went to healthcare.

You decided the ballots were going to be fraudulent before they were ever cast.

True

it happens everywhere mass mail on ballots are used

Trump is seeing to that.

Trump had nothing to with it--Obama did.

No, Trump promised "better, cheaper" health insurance and he has produced 0, nada.

He didnt get any help from congress or the courts

He presented nothing to the congress through his surrogates in Congress.

 

[Mac-7]

He presented nothing to the congress through his surrogates in Congress.

trump sought funding for the wall and modification of the immigration laws

You don't know where it went. My view is that, as the cost of doing business skyrocketed and income didn't increase accordingly, business owners had to pull in their horns to stay whole, or start lay-offs, or do both.
