To be clear, what you are saying is that when you hear of a threat to a rich, white man, your first thought is "that sounds just like every far-left call to arms. that we have ever heard."

Ok, I laughed.

When will enough people realize that for-profit medical insurance is by definition fraud. Either the company is defrauding shareholders by paying too many claims or defrauding customers by not paying enough claims. At any given moment one of them is being defrauded.

What is that supposed to mean, as regards us "guys", me and zsn's "views" of private health insurance?

don't overthink it.

I just thought it was a clever meme.

cuz, though I've been teased about forming my world views from memes, we're on the same side at least this this one, I think.

My reaction was to the implication that, despite having both worked in the health care industry for decades, we would somehow need to go outside our personal experiences to come to our opinions about private health insurance.

She may be evil but she has called me sweetheart more than once.
Let me guess, you are very suspicious that she put the hit/s on Trump too. :?
