Insurance isn't much of a benefit if you can't afford to use it.
Agreed.
So the solution is to instantly make 20 million more Americans have no health insurance??

So?????? Why are you forcing people to buy a product they may not want? Plus why should I have to pay for somebody elses premiums?
Heath insurance does not equate to healthcare.
You don’t want health insurance? So maybe you can just pay the hospital out of pocket when you go since they can’t legally deny you service? How about the next guy that decides not to pay the hospital? Is the hospital just supposed to eat that as a loss?
I understand health insurance is not healthcare. It’s how we pay for healthcare.

I''m a partner in a small business. We pay for the insurance of our 15 or so employees and their families. The middle/upper-middle class folks that earn between 60K-300k got hosed. Below that you get subsidized. Above that and the monthly cost is palatable relative to the income level. Sucks to be the guy earning 80k-120k who has to pay $1200/month for crappy insurance. Even more so for the boss that is paying that for all his employees.
Healthcare is expensive and that's wonderful that you pay the cost of insurance for your employees and their families. So if Trump is successful in eliminating the ACA, where will they get their health insurance from?

Have you ever thought it is because it is unaffordable for the middle class? Maybe people are making a choice not to pay for it because it’s expensive for both the businesses and the employees. If I was in my 20’s-40’s with no kids Id consider not paying for it either Does your article break it down by age group?
It’s not because of what Trump has done no matter how much you wish it true. It was set in motion before he got there. I’ve said it before, prices for the meds my family needs have actually finally come down since ACA was put in place. People paying these notice it. Talk to any diabetic person or family.
Trump had the ACA's health insurance mandate axed. You don't think this caused the uninsured count to rise?

As opposed to the millions that lost their insurance when the ACA was enacted????? Plus the millions whose insurance premiums doubled or tripled and could no longer afford the great insurance they had before.
Who lost their health insurance when the ACA was enacted? And of those why were they not able to get a plan through the ACA? And how can you blame the ACA specifically for doubling or tripling rates? Remember rates were on the rise before the ACA was enacted.

Fine, most of us wouldn’t find ourselves in this situation. But once the coffee is thrown in his face all bets are off if you ask me. I believe she was arrested as she should have been.
Why didn’t the man punch her? Instead he assaulted the man that was with her? Idiots on both sides of this story if you ask me.
still waiting for the posts (other than shooting someone in the leg, using a water cannon, or Andrew ngo’s beat up antifa video) praising violence on siouxsports.

How are both sides wrong in the coffee issue?
From the sounds of the article one guy wasn’t wearing a mask, the chick said something to him, and he responded with something else, which escalated to coffee being thrown. I wasn’t there and didn’t witness so can’t say for sure how things went down. I also wouldn’t be in that situation myself as I wouldn’t say something to the non mask wearer, and I also wouldn’t be the non mask wearer. If for some reason my mask was down to take a drink of coffee and this lady walked by talking some garbage I think most of us would have just ignored her.

Hay duke has been praising and laughing at Antifa violence for weeks.
I don’t recall him praising violence.
i do recall a member here identifying as law enforcement and also praising Andy NGO’s video promoting violence against the supposed antifa though.

What’s the parallel here? Does a person’s death, that in no way relates to the the coffee interaction, justify an a-hole throwing coffee in someone’s face?
Both stories are a result of the pandemic are they not? One thankfully stopped after some words exchanged and a coffee in the face. The other one ended someone dying from covid.
you wont see me defending either side of your coffee story, more than likely both sides were on the wrong.
and where are these posts you speak of here from the left side praising violence? I’ve mentioned a few from the right.....just don’t have the time to search for them to quote.

So someone throws hot coffee on someone and they retaliate(righteously if you ask me) and you say they are a couple of idiots? I’ll defend this guy all day, you can’t throw hot coffee on someone(actual violence) and not expect retribution.
This is America in 2020 though, people(not you) defending the gals right to attack him because he didn’t wear a mask.Tragic story I know.
Here’s a story of an essential worker who had asked to work from home multiple times But was denied and wasn’t provided ppe by her employer. Fortunately no coffee on her face but she ended up dead....

The word violence has meaning, you can’t change it for your own purposes.
The connotation of violence allows for the victim of the violence to defend themself. This is why you see people attacking others who have either done something that offends them or said something that offends them.
This is a story of a couple idiots fighting eachother, No one here will defend either side.
could this have been prevented if our country had some real leadership and provided guidance on mask wearing? We’ll never know.
meanwhile trump continues to fail and deflect.

This is where my friends in the left lose all credibility in my eyes. People not wearing masks are violent? That’s half a step away from the extreme left wing view that words can be violent and can constitute assault.
The left is very adept at what you’ve just done in the above paragraphs and I find it to be a serious threat to our country moving forward. You’ve taken a difference of opinion and turned it into a conversation of violence, which is a word that has meaning as violence can be met with equal violence. So now someone doesn’t wear a mask and it’s ok to be violent against them “in retaliation”.
Its a dangerous game you’re playing with that word play.
I never said it’s ok to be violent against someone not wearing a mask, you are putting words into my mouth.
go back and find those praising violence on siouxsports. You will find the gun violence, water cannons, and beat the antifa posts from a group of posters not on the left side.
meanwhile we have the anti mask rhetoric. While not violent, these behaviors have been far more deadly to Americans than this massive problem we have on our hands with antifa.

I have yet to see anything on this board that I would consider “far right wing”. Right of center certainly. On the other hand, we have commenter(s) openly praising left violence in this thread.
I enjoy a lively debate, especially among people who disagree fervently, but praising violence and is a bridge too far.
Can you give us an example of anyone here praising violence? The only posts I recall is one by Goon with a video of men physically beating supposed antifa guys. There were also some poster idolizing using water cannons or shooting protesters in the leg? I guess we could consider those that are adamantly anti mask somewhat violent as these actions and decisions can be deadly to people. On top of that we have republicans trying to dismantle millions of people’s’ health insurance plans. Maybe this is considered a humane form of deadly though?
”this is their new hoax” would better summarize the republican outcry over antifa. Yeah it’s a thing. In a couple cities on a couple streets. Guess what though, covid is still here, killing more people and now spreading rampantly in the Midwest. But let’s focus on a few idiots in Portland?

I get the feeling you get excited when you see an Antifa Thug trying to see fire to a Federal Court House. Or better yet, do you cheer on Antifa Thugs attacking federal agents? I applaud these brave soles for putting their life’s on the line to protect America.
Light em up!

Your right, everyone can make their own decisions so why are we still putting limits on restaurants, gyms, churches, etc? Even IF that is what this cause of death was from, this man chose to be there
That is exactly what the argument on some of these shutdowns has been since the beginning. Let people choose. Glad you finally came to your senses.
You missed "your decisions affect others"
The Tulsa rally wasn't limited by any shutdowns. The few thousand in attendance did get a choice to attend. It's already documented that the rally contributed to an outbreak and their poor decision making has affected others.
Currently in ND there is no restrictions for churches. There's no statewide mask mandate and there's no city mandate in Grand Forks. Sure you can choose to go to church with no mask, sing and aerosolize your droplets, that's your decision to make. This does not mean it's a good decision.

Glad his death works out pretty well for you two.
Sure.
I guess you are fed up with wearing masks as well.

I see. Although it is speculation, the timing seems fairly indicative of when Mr. Cain caught COVID 19.
But, mocking the use of PPE is something that does not deserve criticism, because of what? Is it because every credible medical professional says to use it and that goes against the grain here?
That would be laughable if it was not so dangerous to our country.
Timing is spot on. Plus it was basically a Rona party. Thousands of attendees indoors, screaming and dancing and very few wearing masks. Would things be different if the ring leader would have only recommended precautions or held it outdoors, we’ll never know. Everyone gets to make their own decisions though, please keep in mind your decisions can affect others.

If it means Donald Trump gets re-elected? Be honest.
If he could fix this, sure. He’s dug himself quite the hole to get out of though.

Protecting Federal property because the local's won't do it. Not really so hard to understand is it? If it was me I'd let it all burn and let the cities rebuild it. I pray that all these cities don't get a dime from the federal taxpayers to rebuild.
And I pray that less people stop dying from covid.

And then people would whine that trump is a dictator and should let the states handle it. I’m old enough to know how this game is played.
So wearing a mask is an infringement on their civil liberties but sending in para military troops to cities across the country is ok?

Give 5 examples on what Biden or Hilary won’t have done differently in the situation.
Enlighten me.
Easy to put blame in an unprecedented time Leadership as a whole hasn’t been great. Politics has made this a mess
What does it matter what they would do? They are not in charge and have no say into how we are handling the pandemic. I agree politics have made this a mess, almost every one of trump’s statements or decisions on the pandemic have been politically motivated, even when most of them have killed his chance at re-election.

I’m sure that Florida is the only state doing that, nothing to see here.
Unfortunately their incompetence when it comes to covid is a direct reflection of their infections and deaths spiraling out of control.
if only we had some centralized leadership regarding the pandemic....

Maybe they should just scrap the ppe if it doesn’t work.
