The fact that the universe doesn’t care about you doesn’t mean that other humans don’t care about you, or that we don’t have to care about other humans. That is, there is a purpose, there is a meaning: that is, to make people as well off as possible, to increase flourishing, to increase knowledge and life and health and freedom and safety. These are really, really meaningful. At least, I think they are. I don’t see anything wrong with them. I don’t think that that should leave you empty. And the fact that we live in a cold universe—that is, the laws of physics, the laws of biology, the behavior of viruses and bacteria and parasites and fungi—they don’t care about you. I’m sorry, they don’t care about you. And the sooner you realize that, the more you’ll be able to attend to the things that really do matter. Human Progress

This couple is having a wedding that will reflect who they are. They openly don’t seem to care if anyone will actually go or not. I think weddings are a celebration for everyone to join in for a special day. But I also think that offending guests before they even go might be a decision that will turn in a decision full of regret. So here’s my take on this. The way I see it is that they are going to be disappointed. I know others might argue and say that it’s selfish for the guests to not go because of the conditions set forth by the bride and groom, however it goes both ways. If they know guests won’t like the conditions of the wedding, then maybe they should compromise a little. I think they should give people options. I feel that this is going to show the bride and groom who is actually their real friends and who aren’t in their eyes. They won’t care if the guests don’t like the wedding rules, they are going to expect them to go because they think that their attendance shows that they care and that they are local.

Abdul El Sayed about M4A : "Yeah, some people would say it's a pipe dream and I don't see them as serious people. I'm so sorry, but the people who tell me that it's a pipe dream usually have not spent much time in the health care system. I'm so sorry I went to a whole medical school, wrote a whole book about this, rebuilt health departments, helped to provide health insurance for folks, eliminated medical debt. I think I know some things about health care. And I'm just going to tell you that the only reason they think it's a pipe dream is because they have been bending backwards to accommodate the big pharmaceutical industry and their money, the big insurance industry and their money, the big hospital industry and their money. Once you decide you're not taking that money and you are not going to be beholden to them, this is the best way forward to provide every single person health care in this country.

Vice President JD Vance comes out minutes after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pitched a fit about Republicans not caving to their demands ahead of a government shutdown. “We have disagreements...but you don’t shut the government down.” “You don’t put a gun to the American people’s head and say, unless you do exactly what Senate and House Democrats want you to do, we’re going to shut down your government.” “Now, we have to remember they’re very frustrated. They say that they’re very frustrated about the fact that this negotiation has not taken place until today.” “But if you look at the original, the original thing they did with this negotiation, it was a $1.5 trillion spending package, basically saying to the American people, we want to give massive amounts of money, hundreds of billions of dollars to illegal aliens for their health care, while Americans are struggling to pay their health care bills.” “We thought it was absurd. We told them it was absurd, and now they come in here saying that if you don’t give us everything that we that we want, we’re going to shut down the government. We think that’s preposterous. We think it’s totally unacceptable.” “You will hear a lot from Senate Democrats, from House Democrats about the fact that American health care policy is broken. Well, we know that American health care policy is broken.” “[E]very single thing that they accuse about being broken, about American health care is policy the Democrats have supported for the past decade. So if they if they want to talk about how to fix American health care policy, let’s do it.” “I think we’re headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won’t do the right thing. I hope they change their mind, but we’re going to see.”

Sunny Hostin: Being Anti-Woke Is ‘Ungodly’ — ‘That Is Not Christian’ "It angers me when people are like, 'This woke stuff’s got to go. That’s telling me you don’t care about my lived experience.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care. So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

AOC: When people see a ballroom and, at the same time, see their health insurance getting cut off, they know that they are paying for that ballroom with no health care, higher grocery prices, and increasingly unaffordable housing. And so I think people are pissed off about it, and they should be. It’s wrong. This is a complete theft of our money. This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom, or to renovate the Kennedy Center, or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for—paying for things that actually benefit you: better roads, health care, and more affordable groceries.

Abdul El-Sayed says healthcare providers are regularly discriminating against black and Arabic patients, and Medicare for All would stop it "Right now in our country, the vast majority of people of color are funded on government health insurance programs that do not reimburse at the same level as private health insurance. So we basically are saying that in our country, care provided for a black child, for example, is reimbursed at nearly half the rate as a white child. We're basically valuing that child's body differently." "Now, the challenge when your health care is not reimbursed at the same level is that you end up getting discriminated against at the point of care. And I've seen that with my own eyes. It is heart-wrenching. But if you have the security of Medicare in your back pocket, no matter who you are, the system doesn't discriminate against you, because your body commands the same quality of care, the same reimbursement rate as anybody else. It removes that profit incentive." "I have seen too many people from communities where they look like you or look like me being discriminated against at the point of care because of the health care that they have. I want to end that. Medicare for All would end that."

This woman says Americans should be “outraged” over what Barack Obama did to our healthcare system “This is such a scam” “So I just went down the Affordable Care Act rabbit hole, and I'm genuinely shocked that Americans are not more outraged about this entire thing. The Affordable Care Act subsidies that the Democrats are requiring to extend in order to reopen our government are subsidies that are paid with taxpayers money Obama said, "You must use the Affordable Care Plan or pay a fine or get insurance elsewhere. You must have insurance. You must use Obamacare. It will be affordable." And then, it ended up not being affordable at all, so we had to subsidize the cost of it with taxpayer money that is paid directly to insurance companies who are causing the driving up of health care costs in the first place. This is such a scam and people aren't outraged? Like, it sounds so noble that the Democrats want people to have affordable health care, but Obama forced people to have affordable health care that wasn't affordable at all so taxpayers have to pay it, but we pay it directly to the private insurance companies that make health care unaffordable. — This is wild”

Democrats are using the American people as leverage to get what they want. And government shutdowns are not the way to do it. They’re willing to hurt people, whether that’s taking away food stamps, health subsidies for people who can’t get insurance, or paying our air traffic controllers. Democrats don’t care who they hurt, they care about power.

THERE IT IS 🚨 Here’s how Barack Obama is the reason the cost of healthcare has skyrocketed in America As soon as Barack Obama, funded by the pharmaceutical companies, signed Obamacare health insurance costs “significantly went up” “Why is health care broken in America? It's a question that everybody asks and everybody thinks that they're like they're mind blown by the how complex health care is. And I tell people it's actually really simple. You've got the buyers of health care who are these big health insurance plans that people don't understand this, but they actually want the price of health care to go up. They make more money when the price of health care goes up. And the sellers of health care, which are these big hospital systems, they want the prices to go up. So you don't need a PhD in economics to figure out if the buyer of something and the seller of something both want the price to go up, the price is going to go up. So on the health insurance side, that's the one where people don't fully understand it, but there's a law, thanks to Obamacare, that health insurance plans can only make 15% of your premiums as profit. So let's just say Your premium is $1,000. They can make $150. So how do they grow that premium or that profit? Your premium has to go up, which means the cost of health care actually has to go up. So the buyer and the seller of health care both want the price to go up. So that's why we're seeing just extraordinary rises in, in, in health care prices over the last decade especially.” “Was it always this bad or did Obamacare really make it worse?” “Oh, I mean, Obamacare definitely juiced it. Obamacare definitely juiced it. So you can see the trend and cost for healthcare once Obamacare was signed, it tweaked up. So it's very, very clear in the graph that the prices right at that point significantly went up. So it has not always been like this. This is a past 15 year phenomenon.”

Murray: In fact, the Republicans, as we all remember, spent some time this summer making sure they extended tax credits and other benefits for billionaires, but they failed to extend the tax credit for people on the ACA. What that means right now, as we come to the end of the year, is that literally hundreds of thousands of people are going to go on the exchanges in their state to choose what health care they want for next year—and all of them are going to see a giant increase in their costs. I talked to one family that’s paying about $300 a month right now for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to, I believe, over $1,800 per month. Can you imagine what’s going to happen when people go online and see they’ll have to pay exorbitant amounts for their health care? They won’t be able to afford it. Many of them will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. And as we know from the old Obamacare discussions, the fewer people who have insurance under our current system, the more everybody pays.
