The Morning Report 10/28/16 [J.J. Sefton]

gruber.jpg

Good morning, kids. Our lead story, Jonathan Gruber is a lisping, effeminate know-nothing bureaucrat who has zero real world experience. And yet he was the one that "redesigned" the entire insurance and health care system for 315 million of us. The thing to remember is, he and his fellow tyrants' goal was never to improve insurance and medical care; it was and is to take it over and thereby take YOU over by literally wielding the power of life and death. But, Trump said "pussy." Anyway, ignore all government media, have a great Friday, and remain blessed.

25 Great news, a Federal Jury has found everyone involved in the Bundy standoff not guilty of all charges the Fed brought against them in the 41 day siege. One charge of theft of FBI property against Ryan Bundy resulted in a hung jury.

The FBI thought they had a slam dunk case on this one but I suspect that comey's recent shenanigans in clearing hillary might have influenced the Jury into acquittal. Way to go citizens.

26 I see where Baltimore City is having massive early voting turnout.

Nice newscast of the Mayor in the polling place to vote, wearing a Hilary ball cap.

And in Baltimore, that passive electioneering inside the polling place is indeed legal, and permitted.

On the plus side, the Mayor endorsing Hillary may not actually be a net positive for Hillary here.

GOP dead zones

When 818,000 voters in Los Angeles County fill out their ballots this election, they will find themselves in strange political territory: The only Republican names they'll see will be presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence.

In this GOP "dead zone" -- spanning parts of five congressional districts, five state Assembly districts and one state Senate district -- not a single Republican candidate made it on to the November ballot.

Bastardi:

The National Republican Congressional Committee is running an ad praising Representative Bob Dold who represents the Democratic-leaning 10th District in Illinois for having bucked Donald Trump, the party's presidential nominee. This is the first time the NRCC, the committee charged with electing Republicans to the House, has explicitly used the message that not supporting the Republican presidential nominee is a good thing.

"Dold is an independent voice who stood up to Donald Trump months ago," the narrator in the ad says. The ad then shows a clip of Dold declaring, on CNN, "I think Donald Trump has disqualified himself."

The ad has been on air since earlier this week. It does not appear on the NRCC's website, and the NRCC declined to comment on it.

We have one kind of like that here in Virginia, but not so extreme. Barbara Comstock is the R Congresswoman in the District next to mine, the only R in congress from around here. She was not happy with Trump after his "locker room" comments, and said so.

I'm hearing ads for her on the radio, paid for by NRCC, that feature two people talking about the election. One asks the other for whom they are voting, and the other answers, "For president, hm, I don't really know yet. But for Congress, Barbara Comstock because . . ." and then goes into a list of bad things about the Dem.

129 So, essentially, Gruber's plan is to FORCE PEOPLE TO PAY.

This, of course, is the true model behind all those 'free' healthcare systems that the Left loves so much (via massive taxation), but somehow it would be cruel and heartless to turn people away from care because they couldn't pay.

There are essentially two options: 1) guarantee care, and enforce payment by law, which will require, of course, a massive bureaucracy and enforcement regime, or 2) give care only in return for payment. This option regulates itself.

Both recognize that people have to pay for themselves, but the socialist option pretends that it's altruism and kindness when its really government extortion and empowerment.

132 72 "Single payer is the long term nationalization of the health care system in Amerika. "


When Trump wins, it will be time for everyone on the right to learn what the term "single payer" means and what it could mean.

Right now, the catastrophic healthcare industry is almost entirely government-run single payer. There is only a tiny slice of the population who will use privately funded healthcare in that capacity.

Between Medicare (for seniors), Medicaid (for the poor) and the VA (for veterans), the population who actually use catastrophic care are covered by the government.

In the private insurance industry, you have the segment of the population who rarely, if ever, uses this level of care. Sure, there are young people who will get into accidents or contract cancer, but statistically, they are a tiny fraction of the whole.

There is no reason why these people couldn't be absorbed into the Medicare population for basic care. Yes, there will eventually be some limits put on what will be treated, but individuals will always have the option of paying for additional care themselves.

The big difference for the political parties should be the everyday care. Government run catastrophic care should be limited to just that - catastrophic care. Medical attention for those things in life that are unexpected and for which individuals would have a very difficult time preparing for by themselves.

For everyday care, doctor's visits, broken arms, cuts, the flu, etc. care should be provided by free market, competitive care givers on a fee for service basis. Health Savings Accounts should be the norm across the spectrum even for the poor, seniors and veterans.

It's important that we bring that direct connection of provider and consumer back so that people know what they are receiving and how much it cost.

On the catastrophic side, we need to set clear standards and limits on what the taxpayer will pay for. Without limits, eventually every dollar in the economy will be spent on health care.

Trump will win the election and is more popular than Obama in 2008, AI system finds

An artificial intelligence ( AI ) system that correctly predicted the last three U.S. presidential elections puts Republican nominee Donald Trump ahead of Democrat rival Hillary Clinton in the race to the White House.

MogIA was developed by Sanjiv Rai, the founder of Indian start-up Genic.ai. It takes in 20 million data points from public platforms including Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in the U.S. and then analyzes the information to create predictions.

Better yet, let advanced degree nurses prescribe for general medications and reduce restrictions on pharmacists to dispense drugs.

In my ideal model, every family would have an advanced degree nurse under contract, who looks out for their general health. This nurse would be also working for or with a pharmacy chain and a testing lab.

When someone gets sick, it's this nurse who gathers the initial information, orders the basic tests and determines which specialist to contact (via video chat).

Much more efficient and patient friendly.

to be some co-pay or people go in every time they sneeze.

Importing even more such chaos (like they do in Europe) means disaster. Wikileaks showed Hillary knows those "invaders" in Germany can never be employed ... indicating it is just a means to weaken western civ, as Soros globalists want.

Like so many things, there are answers, but the "regime" uses all things government as a weapon to move toward Marxist/globalist control. So they gleefully screw up health care for the 85%, to usher in their "single payer equality". So we first have to deal with the deep state, the shadow government ... all those that want to end our sovereignty. They are the main disease.

Meet the Professor Whose 'Primary Model' Says Trump Has 87% Chance to Win

Helmut Norpoth's model has been right five of the last five presidential elections. This time it says Donald Trump very well could be our next president--if he wasn't sabotaging everything.

"The model says Trump has between an 87 and 99 percent chance to be president," he said.

But Norpoth has been right every single time he's done this---five for five over the last 20 years.

"It focuses on historical swings of the pendulum," Norpoth explained. He uses data going back to 1912 that primarily has to do with two central tenets.

The Most Durably Democratic County In The Country Could Go For Trump

In 2012, voters in Elliott County, Kentucky, came close to breaking a streak that, at the time, had lasted 136 years. Elliott County was formed in 1869, and since its first presidential election, in 1872, it had voted for the Democratic nominee every time -- the longest span of any U.S. county.
...

Will 2016 be the end of the streak? Demographically, Elliott County looks like the kind of place where Donald Trump could do well. My colleague David Wasserman estimated that 85 percent of the major-party vote in Elliott County in 2012 was from non-college-educated white voters -- the demographic group among which Trump is strongest. Even a small shift among those voters toward Trump could win him the county.

North Carolina Hillary Supporter Brags on Facebook About Voting Multiple Times

Hillary supporter Robert Dougherty from Jacksonville, North Carolina bragged on Facebook today about how he committed voter fraud.

Robert boasted on how he voted for some of his Facebook friends using their identities, and tells them not to worry about voting, because he's already done it for them.

And he's bragging about it on Facebook.

Robert boasts about how they give you a sticker every time you vote.
He says he will continue to vote all next week!

"Isn't North Carolina nice they give you a sticker every time you vote... No ID required."

"There isn't a need for you to wait in line anymore. Took care of it for you. Gave you a straight Democratic ticket."

"Amazing how many addresses you get from Google. Going again until Saturday and all next week."

Robert either thinks voter fraud is a big joke or he's one stupid Hillary-supporting criminal.

yeah ... polls are oversampled, not just by D/R, but by oversampling women, blacks, ... any group that helps Hillary. And MFM knows, but reports the bad numbers as good evidence. liars.

The whole war on women was a soap opera produced long ago, to avoid criminal Hillary facing hard questions. Wikileaks reveals crimes at the highest level, smoking guns and bodies laying everywhere. But the only MFM air time it gets is to minimize the damage, brush it away as vast right wing conspiracy, highly edited, old news, Russia/Trump enemy action.

Amazing ... "news" reporting Hillary's major league crimes are fine and dandy ... let's instead spend hours on fake stories about Trump sex.

278 The problem that hospitals have are people who go to the ER and can't pay.

I agree with the idea that ERs should not turn actual emergencies away.

But there should be a different fund that they get paid out of. Maybe a charity fund. I think that if they are open about how much they need to keep ERs open, the communities will step up.

Charging the paying patients with the care they gave the non-paying patients is immoral.

They had to bring in a supervisor. I was like a pincushion.

So I'll pray for easy vein-finding too.

284 Terrible idea. For example: We are soon going to discover that overuse
of pharmaceuticals can have existential affects on society. Antibiotic
resistance is growing rapidly, and pharma isn't keeping up.


Interestingly enough - bacteria do not develop resistance to topical antibiotics (NeoSporin for example) - why is that? Surely you would think that an antibiotic bought over the counter by millions of people would almost instantly breed antibiotic resistant strains - but no. So much for the quack theories of "too much antibiotic usage".

The actual cause of injected antibiotic resistance is the failure to properly clean Hospital floors. If you sample a hospital floor you will find every known species of antibiotic resistant bacteria known. Where do these strains come from? The last thing most doctors do before injecting an antibiotic is flush the syringe and needle of air by squirting some of the antibiotic out. This causes a spill on the floor - bacteria on the floor around the edge of the spill develop antibiotic resistance. The failure to use bleach on the floor allows that bacteria to spread. Worse the water used to wash the floor is poured down drains spreading the resistant bacteria into the wild.

There is a giant "Halloween" house nearby. The owner is a dentist ( it's NOT NGU!.. swearsies!) who goes so all-out for Halloween that everybody goes there. They even have to close down the highway ramps nearby and the news helicopters make a flyby too. We buy just enough candy, in case, and then have to eat it after so it doesn't go to waste.

Same thing here. The last time I needed a blood draw I told the idiot tech that the best place to do the stick was in my hand with a very small needle. The ass ignored me and stuck me twice in the arm only to have the vein collapse. Then she did the hand and I said, "Maybe you should try listening to your patients for a change."

Hillary Clinton Accepts Cash From CAIR, Leads 2016 List of Islamist Donations

The Middle East Forum's "Islamist Money in Politics" project compiles an annual list of politicians who receive campaign contributions from Islamist groups and "individuals who subscribe to the same Islamic supremacism as Khomeini, Bin Laden, and ISIS."
The top-ranking recipient in the 2015-2016 list is Hillary Clinton, who raked in $41,165 from prominent Islamists, says the report:

This includes $19,249 from senior officials of the Council on American-Islamic Relations ( CAIR ), declared a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates on November 15, 2014. For example, Mrs. Clinton has accepted $3,900 from former CAIR vice-chairman Ahmad Al-Akhras, who has defended numerous Islamists in Ohio indicted -- and later convicted -- on terrorism charges.

I would love to hear what Nate Silver has to say about the phone adjustment, but I don't have a facebook account to post a comment. If you have one, can you post the following question?


"I am concerned about the automatic 6 point adjustment made to account for difference in cell phone and land line usage. This adjustment is made by practically all pollsters, but is most clearly outlined by Emerson College Methodology:

"...survey data is weighted with a 3 point decrease in Conservative opinion and a 3 point increase in Liberal opinion to offset the bias in land line only telephone polls. "

This adjustment is based on data from a 2010 Pew survey that may be out of date on the mixture of cell only, land line only and dual use households.

Anyone have more recent data?

coming from a Canadian with the so-called "greatest medical care in the world"

I have visited plenty of rural hospitals through my job, and many of them, and walk in clinics make you take your shoes off at the door, with the primary reason to keep mud and water (snow in the winter) off their floors. something I have always thought highly unsanitary.

Is this something you see?

.A 6 year old study is hopelessly out of date with the constantly changing cell and land line phone issue, but there is some precedence there as most pollsters over sampled Republicans in 2012, but it wasn't by six points. I think the worst I saw was 2 points.

Anyway they killed an unarmed rancher - shot him six times, just to be on the safe side - for occupying some nearly abandoned out building.

They jailed a film maker who, as it turns out, had nothing to do with Benghazi for more than a year without a trial.

This IS NOT your grandfathers country.

And just keep on being unaware and compliant, if you still think it is.
