Medicare For All: Costs Less, Works Better! Just Look at Canada... They Pay Less and Live Longer...


Remember: The Canadian Healthcare Costs People Less Money Than the American Healthcare System... and People Live Longer... 

Let's Replace our Broken System...

 Our Plan: "Get Sick, Die, Loser." 
is NOT the best Idea. 

England, Scandinavia, Australia, Europe... They ALL HAVE BETTER HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS... Let's Learn from Them.

For many critics of U.S. health care, the Canadian system of universal health care has long been viewed as an alternative, superior model for the U.S. to follow. Canada’s single-payer system is mostly publicly funded, while the U.S. has a multi-payer, heavily private system. While dissatisfaction with the U.S. health care system is widespread among Americans, Canada’s health care system enjoys high levels of satisfaction among its own population.

On FaceBorg: MN Said...  
I'm going to explain why we need Medicare-for-All. When J.F.K. was calling for Universal Healthcare, he said at the time we were not providing the same level of care as other countries.
In the 1990s I saw a woman testifying in Congress that her job working for an insurance company was to take high dollar claims that were coming in and pull the paperwork the patient signed while getting insurance, look for a mistake that had been made by the patient and use that mistake to deny coverage. She said she knew people had died as a result of her actions. The question we need to ask ourselves is does it make sense to give trillions of dollars each year to insurance companies that work hard to avoid paying for healthcare? The most obvious example of this is pre-existing conditions which came into play only in the U.S. so insurance companies could avoid paying for medical expenses. Those with pre-existing conditions had their medical expenses paid for by state aid, if they were lucky. This means we were giving trillions of dollars to insurance companies for the express purpose of paying medical expenses while also paying millions in taxes to cover the expenses the insurance companies refused to cover.
In 2020 millions of people in this country lost jobs because of the pandemic. A high percentage of those also lost insurance coverage because they could no longer afford to pay premiums. So there are those who lost their jobs, then lost insurance coverage, then got sick and went to the hospital ending up tens of thousands of dollars in debt. This happens every time we have a serious economic downturn. It's cruel and oppressive...people are dying in the name of corporate profits. The U.S. is the only country that allows people to go bankrupt because they got sick or injured. The number one reason citizens of this country file for bankruptcy is medical debt.
In Germany, single payer healthcare is working so well that a person feeling stress can have a doctor write a prescription for a free three week stay at a spa. Germany has a healthcare system that reduces stress while we have a system that CAUSES stress.
Recent studies have indicated that Medicare-for-All would save billions each year. The most recent that I'm aware of was done by Yale University. It concluded that Medicare-for-All would save approximately $500 billion dollars and 30,000 lives every year.
Medicare-for-All (or single payer) has the approval of nearly 70% of U.S. citizens. We won't have justice or democracy in this country until the government starts working for the people instead of working for corporations.

Trump's Top 10 Failures:

#1 Over a Million Americans Died of COVID-19. It was NOT a "Democratic Hoax" Like Trump Said.

#2 Trump Lost The 2020 Election to Joe Biden. That's Why Trump Lives in Mar-A-Loser and Biden Lives in the White House.

#3 Trump Failed to Overthrow the US Government and Crown Himself King on January 6th. Over a Thousand Trumpanzees Have been Arrested... Including Trump Himself!

#4 Trump's Trade War With China. That Harmed American Farmers, Manufacturing Businesses and Consumers. Russia Benefited by Selling Soybeans to China.

#5 Trump Failed to Build the Wall and Have Mexico Pay for it... It's Incomplete and People Simply Walk Around the End...

#6 Trump Failed to Repeal and Replace Obamacare... He Had No Plan "Trumpcare" - He Just wanted to Harm Americans...

#7 Trump Failed to Change the Course of a Hurricane Using a Sharpie Felt Pen... Causing "Sharpiegate" and Many Joke Memes!

#8 Largest Loss of Money on the Stock Market in History.

#9 Massive Unemployment - 14.7%

#10 Huge Lines of Americans Waiting for FREE FOOD because they Could Not Buy Their Own Groceries...

Trump Received Money From Roman Vasilenko (a Russian Businessman) for His 2016 Campaign. GOP operative Jesse Benton was convicted of funneling Russian donations. The "Russia Hoax" was Not a Hoax After All. Trump Actually Got Rubles to Help Him Campaign AND HE KEPT THEM!

Why Hasn't Trump Been Arrested and Convicted for This Crime?


https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/18/gop-operative-convicted-of-funneling-russian-donation-to-trumps-2016-campaign-.html
Republican political operative Jesse Benton was convicted in federal court of funneling $25,000 from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

"The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included," she said.

(Inhale) for Good Food... (Exhale)

Repeat... 

Of Course... This can Be Expanded to Many Things I'm Grateful For... In a Way, This is a Traditional Saying Called "Grace" done before meals... 

I Tried doing a Mantra Written in Sanskrit, a Language I Don't Speak and Cannot Understand but It Just Seemed WRONG... So I wrote this One In English... I Usually Repeat the "God, Thank You" Part before every Item I'm Grateful For... 

Another Statement I say While Breathing Deeply is: "My Mind is Completely Relaxed, My Body is Completely Relaxed. and I'm Going Deeper and Deeper into a Hypnotic Trance..."

I Just Watched a Positive Uplifting Movie Called "The Secret" - Well Worth Watching... and Applying it's Meaning to My Life... Can't Possibly Hurt... SO, I'll continue Eating Good Food, Taking the Medicine that my Doctor Prescribes... Reading, Writing and Pondering the Meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything!

What IF "The Secret" was True? What is the Effect of TV News Where The Entire Nation Focuses Our Attention on Horrible Things? Talking Heads Endlessly Screaming "Danger Danger" and Promoting ANGER?

God, Thank You. I Am Healthy. I Am Well... My Mantra... I Say this While Breathing Deeply and Relaxing...

The Secret is a 2006 Australian-American spirituality documentary consisting of a series of interviews designed to demonstrate the New Thought "law of attraction", the belief that everything one wants or needs can be satisfied by believing in an outcome, repeatedly thinking about it, and maintaining positive emotional states to "attract" the desired outcome.
The film and the subsequent publication of the book of the same name attracted interest from media figures such as Oprah WinfreyEllen DeGeneres and Larry King.

I've heard this same message often before... 
and then...
There's the Song: "You've got to accentuate the Positive, eliminate the Negative, Latch on to the Affirmative, Don't Mess With Mister In- Between..." Johnny Mercer... 

and then There is "The Balance" by the Moody Blues... It's the Answer to the Question of Balance on that Classic Sixties Record... 

After he had journeyed
And his feet were sore, he was tired
He came upon an orange grove
And he rested
And he lay in the cool
And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it
And it was good
And he felt the Earth to his spine and he asked
And he saw the tree above him
And the stars
And the veins in the leaf
And the light
And the balance
And he saw magnificent perfection
Whereon he thought of himself in balance
And he knew he was.
Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been.
Just open your heart and that's a start
And he thought of those he angered
For he was not a violent man
And he thought of those he hurt
For he was not a cruel man
And he thought of those he frightened
For he was not an evil man
And he understood, he understood himself
Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear
It was because he was not understanding
And he learned compassion
And with his eye of compassion
He saw his enemies like unto himself
And he learned love
Then he was answered
Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been.
Just open your heart and that's a start
Do you, do you, do you, do you realize?
Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been.
Just open your heart
Just open your heart and that's a start...

Yes... Quite a lot of Wisdom there,

Speaking of Health:
I've heard so many people say that they don't get a flu shot because they rarely or never get the flu. I don't understand why people view this as a reason not to get the flu shot. I hardly ever get the flu either, but I get the flu shot every year because on the off chance that I DO get the flu, I want to do whatever I can to make sure I don't get extremely sick from it. I don't understand the logic of "I don't get the flu shot because I never get the flu." Do people say this about everything they get vaccinated against? "I never got a polio vaccine because I never get polio." "I never got a measles vaccine because I never get the measles." It's an illogical argument.

Of Course, Logic is not used by the Anti-Vax Crowd... They make decisions by following orders given by FOX NEWS and other QAnon FREAKS... and... THOSE PEOPLE DIED more frequently from COVID 19 than people that Got the Vaccine... WONDERFUL! We Certainly Don't Need PEOPLE LIKE THAT in the Future. Thank you for dying!

Screaming Neo Nazi Died of Self Inflicted Gunshot Wound - THANK YOU! - Teddy Joseph Von Nukem was Arrested for Smuggling Fentanyl at US Mexico Border! So he Killed Himself Instead of Going to Prison! EXCELLENT!

Teddy Joseph Von Nukem (born Ted Landrum, November 23, 1987 – January 30, 2023) was an American white nationalist and far-right extremist, noted for his role at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
He admitted attempted drug smuggling after being arrested at the Mexico–United States border in March 2021. He failed to show up for a January 30, 2023 Arizona court appearance, and died from a self-inflicted gunshot injury the same day.

When deputies arrived, they found 66-year-old Laura Ann
Carleton with a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead on
the scene.
According to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, the suspect,
Travis Ikeguchi, "made several disparaging remarks about a
rainbow flag that stood outside the store before shooting Carleton."

Deputies found the suspect armed with a handgun.

"When deputies attempted to contact the suspect, a lethal force
encounter occurred and the suspect was pronounced deceased,"
read an update from the sheriff's department. No deputies were
injured.




ATTENTION WALMART SNOBS!
So I'm at Walmart and the only check out line is backed up and I overheard an associate say, “Oh, they are just too lazy to check themselves out! “
When I turned to look at the line I was furious. Everyone in that line was well over 70 years old.
You listen here Mr. 20 something year old Walmart Associate. These folks are the back bone of this country. These folks are not lazy. They were not born into a computer generation. While you were playing video games and learning to navigate a computer they were working in the cotton fields, in cotton mills, plowing fields and harvesting crops.
These "Lazy people" can still work circles around you and they have a work ethic and drive that you probably know nothing about. Just because someone doesn't feel comfortable using a self checkout does not make them lazy.
And before I forget it... those lazy people pay your salary. Instead of you and others walking around being judgemental someone could have offered to help them on the self check out.
If you ever have to get your vegetables from the ground instead of the produce department guess who you are going to need help from... those lazy people!
Be careful of the toes you step on today... they might be attached to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow!

Dear Alleged Silent Majority,

How long will you stay silent? How long will you allow activist district attorneys and judges to coddle criminals? How many more criminals out on bond or probation have to hurt someone until you get angry and demand change? What will it take? YOUR family member in the news, killed by a person who belonged behind bars? Then will you stop being “silent”? Then will you VOTE in your local elections “like your life depends on it” as the woke who are ruining our institutions like to claim? Just a few questions I have, as I’ve grown tired of seeing citizens and officers alike, killed by violent criminals that should not have been roaming our streets, but leniency in the name of “progress” or “criminal justice reform” allowed it.

and SG Replied: 

Which criminals are being “coddled”? The United States has a greater percentage of its population incarcerated than any other nation in the world. More than China, Russia, Cuba, Iraq, Iran. How is that coddling criminals??

and I Commented:
Trump is a Career Criminal that is being Coddled... He's been allowed to roam free even though he's an Obvious Flight Risk... He could Fly to Moscow any day!
#ArrestTrump #LockHimUP If Trump was IN PRISON He would Stop Breaking Laws!

Voluntary Deactivation by Pro Cop on FaceBorg


Some of you have asked, “Where did you go?!”

Short Answer: I simply tried to take a social media break over Memorial Day weekend.

Long answer: As we all know, on May 24th the Uvalde school shooting occurred - just a few days before Memorial Day weekend. The initial reports were awful and in the almost 2 months since, the details about what took place have come out and quite frankly disgust me even more. (More on that topic soon - a perfect illustration of why it’s important to wait for the ALL of the FACTS before reacting in haste and emotion)

As Memorial Day weekend approached, I decided I wanted a break from social media and deactivated my personal account. In doing so, Facebook also deactivates any pages connected to your profile. Naturally, that meant this page went offline for the weekend too. No big deal, when you reactivate your personal profile, your page typically comes back as well.

Well, this time, for reasons I’ll never know, that wasn’t the case this time.

Over the last month, I probably clicked on the “reactivate page” button a thousand times.

Nothing.

As some of you may know, Facebook doesn’t exactly have a “customer service line” to call and take care of issues or glitches. So, I was stuck and basically came to terms with the fact I may never get the page back.

Today, I just so happened to notice the Facebook app had an update to be installed. I was hoping one of these updates would fix the glitch. Lo and behold, it did! Or that’s my best guess at least.

So that’s it.

That’s the story and reason for my almost 2 month hiatus from Facebook as “The Officer Next Door”.

In some ways, it was kind of nice. In other ways, it pissed me off I couldn’t get the page back and at least leave on my own terms - if that was what I wanted to do.

It appears I’ve lost a few hundred followers and apparently follow a lot less people and pages myself. Not sure what that’s all about, but whatever. Facebook is always wonky and glitchy behind the scenes. What can ya do?

I’ll resume my normal rambling and maybe work on getting that podcast up and running. Guess we’ll see!

So yeah, I’m back… ðŸ‘‹

I missed (most) of you.
