I like when they went with Webb and were like "Webb,are YOU ok with giving healthcare to undocumented immigrants?" and he is silent for a moment and the camera zooms in waiting for him to say something bad and then he just goes "Yeah sure, whatever, that's fine, yeah."

This was the one of the few things that made me think "oh that's why he hasn't jumped ship to the Republicans".

Webb is to the right on a lot of stuff, but considering them durn illegals undocumented immigrants to actually be human and deserving of health care makes him definitely out of step with the hosed up xenophobia of the Republicans.

Webb would be a amazing Republican if this was the 1970s.

In May 1806, Andrew Jackson shot and killed attorney Charles Dickinson in a duel stemming from insults Dickinson published about the future president’s wife, a divorcée, in relation to horse-racing debts.

Dueling should be made legal but only between members of Congress.

Hook, swing.

I can't imagine that's an enforceable provision if challenged. If they're providing the workers comp and the company is an actual payer then they're a covered entity under HIPAA and could request records relevant to payment determination, but they don't get the right to attend the appointment.

If you're a grad student, you get paid as a research assistant or teaching assistant, you know, training for the job you went to grad school to get?

It was good to see Bernie. I'm not voting for Clinton after the shitshow/disappointment Obama was. She would likely/almost certainly be more of the same poo poo.

Her plan for student debt was laughable pandering and even if enacted just treats the symptom and not the disease, for example.

However, social media weren't a part of most people's lives even as late as the 2008 elections. There's not a lot of data to go on.

This is a common problem in any kind of statistical analysis of presidential elections.

Hahahaha no the best part is if you're unconscious in the hospital and miss the 24 hour window to call and report your claim, all coverage is denied. That's genius. "Well sorry you were unconscious, you still needed to call within 24 hours".

Even if there was, the connections would be extremely tenuous since the data would only go back to like 2008 and demographics of people using those platforms has probably changed drastically in that time.

Also, re: that worker's comp article, Oklahoma is hell on earth.

So your answer to thinking that only voting for president enacts change is to simply not vote because Bernie will not get the nomination...

Employers will do drat near anything to avoid paying out a claim, too.

Didn't tell your boss about that pop in your shoulder lifting something you shouldn't have? Well you're hosed!

Had a miscarriage? Sorry you're hosed unless you can prove it was due to those benzene fumes your boss didn't mention.

Yo this is a callback to a couple pages before, but where in this clinton education plan does it say room & board, or state colleges would be covered? Right at the top it says you get free tuition at community colleges and then lists a bunch of restrictions (like the 10 hour thing). Am I misreading it?
