US has more people uninsured now than when Bush was President

Dan Spencer:
According to Gallup, which has been measuring the percentage of uninsured Americans monthly since 2008, the current rate of uninsured Americans is stuck at 16.1%.

A quick look at the trends will show you that percentage is almost the same as what it was when President Obama took office in January 2009, and nearly identical to the rate of uninsured in March 2010, when the Democrats jammed ObamaCare through Congress on a strictly party line vote.

Oh the problematic irony. The Democrat Party, from President Obama on down, repeatedly lectured us that passing their big government healthcare law was the only way to reduce the number of uninsured. With the enrollment deadline for ObamaCare rapidly approaching, its looking like that was another lie.
...
The rate of uninsured is actually higher now than it was during the last months of the Bush administration--13.8 percent.  At this point the law is a failure both of design and implementation.  Congressional Democrats designed this monstrosity and Obama bumbled its execution.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
