You should be much more worried than Sotomayor about dying young, which is a thing Trumptards tend to do. We are all thankful when another smug worthless asshole Trumptard who can't hold a job dies.

Quote:Of the 12,035 adults with type 1 diabetes in the T1D Exchange EHR database, 23% had an A1C <7%, 44.5% had an A1C of 7–9%, and 32.5% had an A1C >9%. Characteristics of these adults by A1C are shown in Table 1. Those with an A1C >9% were significantly younger and more likely to be Non-Hispanic Blacks, experienced more DKA and SH events, and had more depressive symptoms (P <0.001 for all). They also had lower BMIs, were less likely to have private health insurance, and were less likely to use CGM and insulin pump therapy compared with individuals with an A1C <7% (P <0.001 for all).

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: Many of the Trump administration’s health insurance actions still stand. For example, there’s the No Surprises Act, a bipartisan measure aimed at protecting patients from unexpected medical bills stemming from payment disputes between health care providers and insurers. His administration also pushed price transparency regulations that require hospitals to post prices and insurers to provide estimated costs for procedures. Hospitals have been slow to comply. Medicaid While first-time candidate Trump vowed not to cut popular entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, his administration did not stick to that promise. The Affordable Care Act repeal legislation Trump supported in 2017 would have imposed major cuts to Medicaid, and his Department of Health and Human Services later encouraged states to require Medicaid recipients to prove they are working in order to receive health insurance. However, the legislation did not pass. Drug prices The Trump administration was active on trying to reduce the price of prescription drugs for consumers. Trump signed measures allowing pharmacists to tell patients when the cash price of a drug is lower than the cost with insurance. However, many of Trump’s proposals were blocked by the courts. One plan that never took effect would have pegged the price of some expensive drugs covered by Medicare to prices in other countries. Another would have required drug companies to include prices in television advertisements. A regulation allowing states to import cheaper drugs from Canada did go through. However, it took until January 2024 for the FDA to approve the first importation plan, in Florida. Canada won’t allow exports that risk causing drug shortages there, leaving unclear whether the policy is workable. Veterans health Some advocates credit Trump for overhauling Department of Veterans Affairs health care. He signed a major bill allowing veterans to obtain care outside VA facilities. That said, White House officials also tried to scuttle passage of the spending needed to pay for the initiative. Medical freedom Trump scored a big win for the libertarian wing of the Republican Party when he signed into law the “Right to Try Act,” intended to make it easier for patients with terminal diseases to access drugs or treatments not yet approved by the FDA. Trump said in a Jan. 10 Fox News town hall that the law had “saved thousands and thousands” of lives. There’s no evidence for the claim, and it is not clear how many patients have managed to obtain treatment using the law. The FDA had already typically granted requests for “compassionate use” of not-yet-approved drugs anyway. The stumbling block, which the law did not address, is getting drug companies to release doses of medicines that are still being tested and may be in short supply.

Quote:Originally posted by second: “A major party candidate is saying, ‘You elect me, there’s going to be dictatorship, bloodbath, violence, retribution against my political enemies,’ that equals what we saw in Italy, in Germany and other places,” Beschloss warned. He added, “If Americans do not get that, if they choose that voluntarily, then this country has changed in a way that I do not understand.” Trump, suggested Beschloss, has actually “done us all a favor” with his violent rhetoric because he’d brought out into the open the possibility of how “fascism and dictatorship might come to America.” Previously, a candidate with fascist tendencies could have pretended to be “a normal candidate” and then suddenly upended the Constitution after winning the election. “In a way, Donald Trump has made it easier because when he tells you he’ll be a dictator for a day, we all know that dictators don’t resign after a day,” Beschloss explained. “When he uses the word ‘bloodbath.’ Yes, it was in the context of an automobile industry speech, but he knew exactly what he was saying. When he talks about suspending the Constitution, or migrants as animals, this is him. He’s telling you what this choice is.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/michael-beschloss-donald-trump-favor_n_65f957c3e4b0cb9583b18484 The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

Quote:Originally posted by second: House Republican budget calls for raising the retirement age for Social Security A budget by the Republican Study Committee, a group of more than 170 GOP lawmakers, highlights how many in the party would seek to govern if Republicans win in November. The new budget also calls for converting Medicare to a "premium support model," echoing a proposal that Republican former Speaker Paul Ryan had rallied support for. The plan became a flashpoint in the 2012 election, when Ryan was GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's running mate, and President Barack Obama charged that it would "end Medicare as we know it." Trump has offered shifting rhetoric on Social Security and Medicare without proposing a clear vision for the future of the programs. Trump shifty? Unclear?

Quote: TIME To Panic: Joe Biden's Campaign "In Trouble" Despite Obama Warning "Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up." -Barack Obama With less than eight months before the 2024 election, the Biden re-election campaign is in big trouble. Not only is Biden lagging in the polls vs. Donald Trump, the border crisis he created by shredding all of Trump's Executive Orders on immigration has resulted in 10 million illegals flooding into the United States - which has left even Democrats livid. What's more, Biden is quickly losing the support of young Americans, and the latino vote. Things are so bad that TIME magazine has just devoted 3,700 words to let us know that Barack Obama 'warned' the Biden campaign last June that defeating Trump would be harder in 2024 (because no pandemic or hoax dossier to set him up?). Six months later, Obama 'saw few signs of improvement.' Obama returned to the White House in December, with a 'more urgent' message: the re-election campaign was behind schedule in building out field operations, and that an 'insular group of advisers' in the West Wing was hamstringing the effort. Now, it's really bad... Three months later, the 2024 general election is under way, and Biden is indeed in trouble. His stubbornly low approval ratings have sunk into the high 30s, worse than those of any other recent President seeking re-election. He’s trailed or tied Trump in most head-to-head matchups for months. Voters express concerns about his policies, his leadership, his age, and his competency. The coalition that carried Biden to victory in 2020 has splintered; the Democrats’ historic advantage with Black, Latino, and Asian American voters has dwindled to lows not seen since the civil rights movement. -TIME Meanwhile, Biden's inner circle is "defiantly sanguine" as a "fog of dread" descends on Democrats.
Quote: The rest of the TIME article is full of anecdotes of dissatisfied Democrats, particularly young voters such as 20-year-old Aidan Kohn-Murphy. It has nothing to do, as many assume, with the President’s age. With palpable frustration, Kohn-Murphy enumerates the list of perceived policy “betrayals” as though they were “tattooed on the back of my hand.” According to the report, GenZ voters "don’t understand why they should be compelled to cast their ballot for a candidate who has done so many things that are against their values," said Kohn-Murphy. Losing the minority vote In 2020, Biden carried 87% of the black vote. Now, he's polling at just 63%, a sharp decline. Meanwhile four years ago he won hispanic votes by a ratio of 2 to 1. He now trails Trump in that bloc. Biden's support of Israel amid the Gaza war has "tanked his standing with Muslim and Arab voters," particularly in "must-win Michigan." Overall, Biden’s advantage over Trump among nonwhite Americans has shrunk from almost 50 points in 2020 to 12, according to the latest Times/Siena poll. "It boils down to voters of color, and those voters are pissed," said one former Biden campaign and White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "I think it’s very likely he’ll lose." What's more, nearly two dozen senior Democratic sources told TIME that Biden's "campaign mechanics, structure, and staffing over most of the past year are partly to blame as well." While Obama was marching to re-election over the summer of 2012, his campaign head count topped 900. Despite plans to hire 350 new staffers, the Biden campaign ended 2023 with only around 70 paid employees, according to campaign finance filings. Biden advisers don't care about the president's dismal numbers with young and nonwhite voters, as the "Biden brain trust" thinks they'll vote for him again regardless. "We’ve reached out to this group of nonwhite and young voters earlier than any presidential campaign ever has," according to senior adviser Becca Siegel. Good luck with that...
