NEWS: War Secretary Pete Hegseth vows to reinstate the 8 Apache helicopter pilots who conducted low flyover along the beaches of Charleston, South Carolina as part of the epic July 4th 'Salute from the Shore' celebrations.
“We’ll fix this. Carry on, Patriots.”
Good!
American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible
He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill
“This is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital:
- It totaled about $24,000
- My CT scan alone was $8,300
- Laboratory, 6,000
- IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total
And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478
because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this bill”
“But if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’
Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare.
So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.”
US Health Insurance is a scam

@ssgtwrightusmc This is my daughter, Kristen Charbonneau. She disappeared in August 2005. FBI refused to get involved, we had to beg the local media to air her story. She remains missing and not one detective looks at her case. She is just as important as anyone else.
@SpeakerJohnson I couldn't tell that we had a tax cut...not with the way ya'll did no tax on overtime...no tax on tips and last but not least no tax on Social Security..
STOP THE LYING!
@LeaderJohnThune There is no relief....Stop lying to us...tell me who is actual getting big tax refunds...just about everyone I know is still having to pay or getting back less! So F OFF!
@SenJohnKennedy@SenJohnKennedy I would like to know who the he'll is getting that money back? Ya'll keep telling big refunds (where)? Most people I know are paying or getting back less than ever before! STOP LYING TO PEOPLE!
⚫️🇺🇸 SOCIAL SECURITY EXPOSED
KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERYONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT...THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!!
WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?
Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security but your employer did, too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes.
If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500. Read that again.
Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny?
We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to ensure you and me that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government.
Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back.
If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the Government pays on the money that it borrows)....after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!
If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF EVER DID.
Entitlement my foot; I paid cash for my social security insurance!
Just because they borrowed the money for another government spending, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!
Remember the benefits for members of Congress?
+ free healthcare,
+ outrageous retirement packages,
+ 67 paid holidays,
+ three weeks paid vacation,
+ unlimited paid sick days.
Now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement payments entitlements?
They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.
