I had an appointment on the 27th to discuss results from a test today and they also offered me a phone call appointment. I was dumbfounded by the suggestion. I told them that is actually preferred and verified it would be at the same time.

Television is their enemy. The United States has 114 Covid-19 deaths & 17 people who have recovered from it.  That is an 87% fatality rate, not the 1.5% to 2.0% I keep hearing repeated on television.  No flu is anywhere near that dangerous.

That is exactly why I always tip in cash when possible.

Good article.  I’ve two credit cards that are only used so they have activity on them so once per month when I remember a charge of $100 or less each. I will then pay the balance the following day online and it still has a positive impact on my credit score.

My pixel 4 is updating now

Covid-19 hasn’t been with us for a year so it is difficult to compare the two. They have reported that the flu kills 0.1% of those who get it compared to 2% for Covid-19/Coronavirus.

Sorry to hear about the crown. Two years ago I had to have a root canal done on a front tooth that was already crowned. I think it ended up costing $3,600 and I live in the St. Louis Missouri region. Had I been in San Francisco I’m sure it would have been much more. But I’d earn much more, so . . I’d take it :)

Wisconsin and Florida always scare me during elections. And you’re correct that we cannot ever have too much faith in the polls. Too many deliberately give them false information simply to throw the poll off and their sampling margins are always way too small to realistically be accurate.

Restricting firearms has nothing to do with “treason” in any way whatsoever.

Medicare was started 55 years ago and is a successful long term working program. The very reason Sanders claims he wants to expand it rather than starting something new from scratch. 

Oh I know I was being sarcastic in tone as everyone knew they were lying about the anticipated economic growth. 

Shortly after graduating college I had a female primary care physician who I liked very much. She was young for a physician, early 30's I believe and a very good doctor. One day I received a letter from her in the mail. It was 2-1/2 pages essentially ranting about going out of business because she cannot pay off her…

Then there’s the list of Most Democratic Countries in the world list that recently published for 2019:

Why do so many have difficulty differentiating between “socialist democrat,” “socialist” and “communist?” You must lump them all into one category in order to find fault with his plan is why.

I’m both a Warren and Sanders supporter and have nothing to attack you on based on this post.

Oh those huge tax cuts for the wealthy that would trickle down upon us mere peasants?  I believe I remember the Trump officials telling us they would be paid for because increased investment would elevate the economic growth to 5, 6, even 7 percent annually.  Last quarter it was 2.1% and I would look for that number…

Sanfransam54 - I agree with all that you said. Until my mother retired I had no idea that Medicare required co-pays either. But Sanders plan is suppose to eliminate all out-of-pocket expenses while adding vision and dental to medicare. (In my opinion he should have labeled it “universal healthcare” rather than…

He got his and took ours.

The article never said medicare is free. You paid into it and you are receiving it, yet you complain?

Okay then I will amend my reply to “It would be difficult to find a job without a phone, wouldn’t it?” And I didn’t say anything about spending money on the “newest, most recent phone, car, etc.” - I can afford it but agree it is not worth it. My car is a 2016 Buick and my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7. I am a civil…
