Taxpayers spend 22% more per patient to support Medicare Advantage – the private alternative to Medicare that promised to cost less. I hear Medicare Advantage is also more likely to deny claims.

Impersonating a police officer should not be taken lightly. Before you know it he'll be shaking down the neighborhood butcher, and caterwauling in the back ally late at night bartering the spoils for sexual favors.
Santa Cruz Weekly Sentinel... Hmm, Santa Cruz could be CA, AZ, NM, TX. In 1882 NM and AZ weren’t even states yet, so there’s a 50% chance the anti-pie diatribe was written by a non-American in addition to being un-American.
That attack on Pie is the equivalent of mooning the Statue of Liberty, or peeing on the Liberty Bell.
The responsible party should have their head shaved and forced to eat 4 and 20 blackbirds.
I belong to a Medicare Advantage plan the handles parts A, B, C & D. The reason being that’s what my former employer chose for retirees. I September I went to the hospital for outpatient surgery. In at 6 am, there about 8 hrs, home for supper. The bill was $295,000. The Insurance company plan said no, and paid $95,000. The hospital said OK. My share $0.
I guess the best way to defeat the greed is a National Health Plan like civilized countries.
Pete Buttigieg was attacked by Don Jr for a government program that Musk was the largest beneficiary of. That put Elon in the middle not wanting to offend Orange Jr and not wanting to turn people against the gift to him from the taxpayers. Oh Elon, with great swindles comes great stress.
As I think back on Thanksgiving fetes of yore and all the work so many people contributed to put it together, making the turkey edible, presentable, and punctual, while trying a radically different method is Damocles sword just waiting.

The American Dragon article has this little fascinating nugget: " later articles insisting the story was a hoax, an exaggeration, or misidentification of large, flightless, volatile birds (possibly the Southern Cassowary) imported from Australia by colonists in Sequoia National Park as defense against U.S. Cavalry troops trying to evict them."
That actually happened? I want to hear more about that story!
