The PPACA has pretty much eliminated the issue of not being able to pay for medical care in the US, at least in the 27 states that have expanded medicaid.

Don't be daft. You are paying for your medical care in your tax bill and in all the other goods and services you buy that have taxes embedded in their prices.

There is no free lunch (2nd law of thermodynamics).

All the medical service providers I use now require I show photo ID which they then scan.

This theft has no particular utility when it comes to stealing medical services.

How does this have anything to do with Obama? Or are you a bot or human acting as a proxy for a bot?

Evangelicals are famous for sending out missionaries to try to convert other people to their religion, and supporting military adventures of governments they elect.

Any hypothesis that evangelicals are peaceful has to explain away their unswerving support of Israel.

What makes you so arrogant to think that you can sort out thousands of years of hatred that is built into the culture by bombing people and trying to impose a foreign style of government?

Sorry, but this is something that these people are going to have to sort out themselves.

Nobody has EVER solved this sort of issue long term from outside.

One of the things that you are missing is that Germany's electricity use is actually declining because of the crappy economy and current demographics.

So flat coal consumption is misleading - this would imply coal is growing as a percentage of energy mix given the economic situation.

We just finished with two useless wars. That tends to create a lot of leftover stuff.

Taxes really didn't have as much to do about it as most people think. Read the Declaration, there are 16 other reasons listed before taxes are mentioned. Things like the Quartering Act were more important.

At the root it was really about self - determination.

Really you don't want a recliner. What you want is a tilt back chair and an ottoman.

The reason is that it is impossible to properly build a recliner with a good frame and spring structure. The reclining mechanism forces too many compromises to the structure of the chair. The result is the structure just doesn't provide the same support or durability that a proper chair does.

As far as suppliers, it's hard to argue with the quality of Hancock and Moore. Really first rate stuff.

I hope they block Java and it's updates. It's ridiculous that this should include search hijacking by default.

I know of a scientist who smuggled a small amount of plutonium into the US. It was needed for an XRF instrument.

I wonder how much of this goes on for legit scientific investigations simply because the legal channels are so difficult to deal with.

Even better.
