@SecKennedy Can a stop be put on advantage plans paying for things other than the delivery if health care such as gym memberships and debit cards at the pharmacy?
@RepGregMurphy@cvs The whole PBM chain is broken. I get better pricing with less hassle thru Good Rx than through my insurance, which is actually pretty good insurance
In 1607, Pastor John Robinson was arrested for trying to flee England to escape religious persecution. He was a Puritanβthe minister who would later help organize the Plymouth colony. Eventually, he found refuge in Holland. He's my 10th great-grandfather.
In 1661, Christopher Nicholson and his brother were marched to the gallows in Boston. A noose was placed around Christopher's neck. They were whipped until they bled, jailed, and stripped of much of what they owned. Their crime? They were Quakers. Their fisherman father had drowned, their mother was arrested, and even after they were found innocent, the persecution didn't stop. Christopher eventually escaped to Perquimans County, North Carolina. He's my 9th great-grandfather.
On June 11, 1782, Colonel William Crawford was captured near present-day Wyandot County, Ohio. He endured hours of torture before he was scalped and burned alive. His nephew suffered a similar fate. They were my 4th- and 5th-great-grand uncles.
My family tree is full of people who suffered.
So is yours.
That's the story of humanity. Every race. Every religion. Every nation. Every people group. Given enough time, you'll find ancestors who were victims and ancestors who were perpetrators.
History is messy because people are messy.
So no.
I don't carry guilt for the color of my skin any more than someone else should carry guilt for theirs.
Judging people by the actions of long-dead ancestors isn't justice. It's prejudice.
If we're ever going to move forward, we have to stop assigning inherited guilt and start judging people by the content of their own character.
@RichardGrenell@RandPaul My dad was transferred to a wonderful hospice. A blessing to him and us because hospice allowed visitors, the hospital didn't.
