The Conservative Cave

And just like that President Trump has them rooting for algae. 

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.

Their idiocy never ends

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! 

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.
