The Congressional Budget Office report on Trumpcare is out, and it’s devastating: 14 million people losing insurance in the first year, 24 million over time, with premiums soaring for older, lower-income Americans — in many cases, the very people who went strongly for President Trump.
The C.B.O. thinks it would reduce the deficit, but only marginally, around $30 billion a year in a $19 trillion economy.
Obamacare imposes a mandate to induce healthy people to sign up, offers means-tested subsidies to make insurance affordable and expands Medicaid to take care of people with really low incomes. Trumpcare eliminates the mandate, slashes subsidies overall and redirects them to those who don’t need them and sharply cuts Medicaid.
Of course that leads to a huge drop in coverage.

I feel this is important information about what is happening in the Republican Administration lead by Drumpf and what we need to be aware of.
Keith Olbermann series called “The Resistance” continues.
According to The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics, in liberal democracies, the political Right opposes socialism and social democracy.
Right-wing parties include conservatives, Christian democrats, classical liberals, nationalists and, on the far Right, racists and fascists.
The general consensus among political scientists is that “left wing” includes liberals, progressives, socialists and communists, and the “right wing” includes conservatives, traditionalists, reactionaries and fascists.

If you need to laugh right now, then we’ve got just the video for you.
The YouTube channel Bad Lip Reading has gained notoriety as on of YouTube’s most popular places to watch parodies of videos ranging from the NFL to pop-culture. BLR will have Yoda singing about seagulls chasing him one moment, and have the Avengers take on redneck personas the next.
All of this done through the use of – as the channel suggests – dubbing over scenes, and badly interpreting what the people are saying.
“Because to take away a man’s freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.”

“The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.”

“To cheapen the lives of any group of men, cheapens the lives of all men, even our own. This is a law of human psychology, or human nature. And it will not be repealed by our wishes, nor will it be merciful to our blindness.”

A dear blogger friend taught me about this concept.
“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”
Inlife you’ll realize that there is a purpose for every person you meet.
Some are there to test you, some will use you, some will teach you, and some will bring out the best in you.
One of the most valuable principles a person may ever learn in their lifetime is that every person that is in their life, is in their life for a reason. Some people are in your life to be your genuine friend, and to just help you become the best you that they may possibly help you to become. Some people are in your life to test you, to show you that things may not always be what you think they may seem.
Some people are in your life to teach you. Sometimes we are full of gifts and talents that we have no clue that are inside of us, and some are put in our lives to help us to see these gifts out of our hearts and to develop them.
Some people are in your life solely for themselves.
But it is these people who will also teach you many lessons, one must be careful to let a fool bring him/her to their own level.
Different people will teach us all different things, but in every lesson one must always remember that life is too short to hold on to anger and spite. Take the lessons you learn in your past, and use them to help the person you have become in the present day.
