This is an insurrection & ought to be treated as such.

Democrats are openly rejecting the democratic results of the election and are forming a shadow government to work against the will of the American voters. Worse than denial this is treason. https://t.co/wbrEKi4PIS

USAID, ISRAEL, SWATTING, & WAR:🧵

Now, about that USAID rabbit hole I’ve been promising you….

Last week, my home was “swatted,” which is nothing less than attempted murder by proxy.

But why?

Let’s try to connect some dots.

The ACA was the greatest piece of legislation ever passed? Spare me.

Such a claim is not merely hyperbolic, it is historically illiterate. The Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, was not a triumph of reform but a masterpiece of political theatre and economic distortion.

It did not fix the American healthcare system; it calcified its worst features.

The ACA entrenched a reimbursement model that favors bloated health systems over independent medicine.

Through CMS, Medicare reimburses more for services rendered in hospitals and HOPDs than independent physician offices.

The consequence?
A wave of acquisitions.

Once nimble and patient-focused, private practices were absorbed by not-for-profit health systems looking to maximize revenue through arbitrage, not outcomes.

This is not reform, it is rent-seeking on an industrial scale.

Second, mandated coverage inflated prices while distorting risk. One of the ACA’s proudest boasts, essential health benefits, became its most economically illogical mandate.

Insurers were forced to cover services like maternity care for men and pediatric dentistry for retirees. Risk pools were distorted. Premiums soared. The healthy were penalized to subsidize the inefficient.

In pre-ACA America, a healthy 30-year-old could purchase catastrophic coverage for a few hundred dollars a month.

Post-ACA, that same individual faces a $1,200 monthly bill for insurance they neither want nor need. The state declared, in effect, that every American must buy a Mercedes, even if they only needed a bicycle.

The claim that “50 million Americans gained coverage” is semantically clever and substantively hollow.

Coverage is not care. The expansion of Medicaid, a key pillar of the ACA, placed millions into a program that few physicians accept and that delivers subpar outcomes.

The middle class, meanwhile, found themselves with narrow networks, enormous deductibles, and unaffordable care, all behind the illusion of a plastic insurance card.

This is the Potemkin village of healthcare: coverage without capacity, access without agency.

Finally, the ACA codified a cartel. Section 6001 of the law effectively banned the creation and expansion of physician-owned hospitals. Why?

Because physician-owned facilities outperformed corporate health systems in terms of quality and cost. The empirical record was clear. So, instead of fostering competition, Congress, lobbied by the AHA and its allies, shut it down.

Imagine a world in which Amazon had lobbied Congress to outlaw any new e-commerce startups after 2010 under the guise of “market stabilization.”

That is precisely what happened in healthcare. The ACA chose incumbency over innovation. It outlawed the insurgents and rewarded the monopolists.

In sum, the ACA is not a monument to progress, it is a monument to protectionism.

It preserved the oligopoly of legacy health systems, empowered insurers by mandating the purchase of their products, distorted prices, crushed physician autonomy, and locked out competition.

To call it the “greatest” legislation of our time is to mistake technocratic complexity for genuine reform.

It was corporate statism painted in the pastel colors of progressive compassion.

@Unapologet26919 @JamesMagwenzi @darwintojesus Archaeology & textual criticism confirms the veracity of the Biblical account of history - including the eyewitness testimony of Jesus's life

You don't have to believe Jesus is who he claimed to be, but to suggest the Bible is anything less than historically reliable is ignorant

[Excused @Excused19]

@darwintojesus If Christianity can handle 2000+ years of brutal, depraved, excruciating, publicly humiliating executions carried out against Christians en masse...

The idea that memes would hurt us or our "sKy dAdDy" is kind of hilarious 🤦🏽‍♂️

Being a woman comes with responsibilities.

Men have responsibilities, too.

Neither gets to destroy an innocent life in order to skirt those responsibilities.

Do you actually believe forensic experts can't tell the difference between someone who was strangled & mutilated with rocks vs someone who was crushed by a building?

[Excused @Excused19]

@the_colter @AllenBr69052819 @OnomyAlex @WhiteHouse I agree

But we can tell it to the judge, bailiff, and then our cellmates all we want 😕

@TigerP_Tweetz @RamsiYusef15199 @LaurenWitzkeDE Remember when Allah revealed that if Muhammad was a false prophet, his aorta would be cut?

Then Muhammad slaughtered a Jewish woman's family & she offered to cook him a meal - which he ate 🤦‍♂️.

According to Muhammad's child bride, the poisoned meal cut his aorta...

Weird innit?
