[National Health Insurance] For some reason many people are against national health insurance. It seems one of their biggest arguments is that with national insurance the wait times would be too long. They cite Canada’s national health insurance which they say has long waits to see specialists. That is a bogus argument. Here in the Keys I’ve been waiting almost two months to see my heart specialists. Before Covid I always had to wait at least a month to see him. So long waits are already normal in the US and have been for years. It’s the same long wait to see my eye doctor too—over a month. |

The best troops were the Carthaginians under Hannibal, the Romans under the Scipios, the Macedonians under Alexander, and the Prussians under Frederick.” |

[Rumors of War Ignored] Although there were daily newspaper stories threatening secession, the US Government made no military preparation, and the Northern people generally paid no attention, took no warning of its coming, and would not realize its existence till Fort Sumter was fired on by batteries of artillery, handled by declared enemies, from the surrounding islands and from the city of Charleston. Is this what’s going on now? |
