270+ government informants were in the crowd on J6.

Not 1 stepped forward to prevent an act of vandalism or violence as it was occurring.

Not 1 of them stepped forward to testify in court about illegal acts they witnessed.

What exactly were they in the crowd for?

I wonder how well Germans’ entitlements will hold up if the country follows through with its plans to rebuild its military. Same for other European countries.

Meh, that just requires a little more rationing of health care.  ::)

Holy bleep! My “employee contribution” paycheck deductions plus deductibles are between a fifth and a tenth of that $35K a year!

Oh man, free sure is expensive!  :cheersmate:

I cannot say how analogous my experiences have been, but I have had Anthem Blue Cross and Aetna through my employer for the past 10 years or so:

* Mild stroke, several days in the hospital, pretty much entirely paid;

* Covid, 2 weeks in the hospital, pretty much entirely paid (might have been paid by the US government, not sure);

* Pneumonia and blood-borne infection, 10 days in hospital and 10 days of in-home infusions, pretty much entirely paid.

I did a little DDGing, and heart ablation is a less intrusive treatment for AFIB and other rhythm problems than implanting a pacemaker. My pacemaker implantation and the prior heart monitor implantation were both paid by my insurance. Both were outpatient procedures.

Either DFW is flat out lying about Blue Cross or he had a VERY restrictive plan. I suspect the former.

My experiences with Bkue Cross differs almost diametrically from what DFW claims.
