There is a lot going on with providing healthcare insurance which could impact Recipients of healthcare who had good insurance programs.

Public says Extend the Tax Credits for the ACA

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of the public say Congress should extend the enhanced tax credits. The credits available to people with low and moderate income. These ensure health coverage purchased through the Affordable Care Act’s Marketplace affordable. But it is just not the ACA insured who are in trouble due to Tr_mps BBB. So are those […]

The truth about combination vaccines

The campaign to sow doubt and confusion around vaccines uses several different lies. One is the facially absurd notion that combination vaccines can overwhelm the immune system. A healthy infant’s immune system responds to thousands of antigens from their environment daily, far exceeding the number found in modern vaccines. Moreover, decades of experience the world […]

People Will Learn Once the ACA is Cut

My comment: “Do you see such an awaking amongst the citizens who are Republicans? Are they besieging their representatives or senators yet? It appears many voters disapprove of Tr_mp.

Vaccine Exemptions by State for Children

Moving heaven & earth to get the tax credits extended

The other person, I follow on healthcare and the ACA. He lives in Michigan like I did before we moved to the desert. Kind of miss the Green. “Dear Democrats: I’m the guy who’s moving heaven & earth to get the tax credits extended, and I’m telling you not to cave for a short-term fix.” […]

Taking Hostages and Threatening Their Healthcare?

Hopefully, this Claim by Trump dies

More information on the Tylenol issue as created by our President’s claims of Tylenol being dangerous to the developing fetus.

Now he is claiming Tylenol can cause harm to a fetus thereby spreading […]
