Many Americans disappointed with healthcare system

 American Action News:

Americans’ outlook of the quality of healthcare in the U.S. has fallen to a 24-year low, according to a Gallup survey published on Friday.

The survey shows that 44% of Americans said the quality of U.S. healthcare is “excellent” or “good,” which represents a 10% drop from 2020, according to Gallup. Of those surveyed, 38% said the nation’s healthcare quality was “fair” and 16% said it was “poor.”

Americans rated U.S. healthcare coverage more negatively than they rated health care quality, according to Gallup. Only 28% of respondents said healthcare coverage is excellent or good, which is four percentage points lower than the average since 2001, according to the survey.

President-elect Donald Trump made an announcement on Nov. 14 nominating Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Trump and Kennedy have vowed to “Make America Healthy Again,” and have pledged to address various health-related issues, including getting Americans to up their intake of healthier foods and address obesity in adults. Kennedy has also called for America to reduce high levels of fluoride in its drinking water supply.

I have had good results from treatment by the Methodist Health Care System in the Houston area.   They have treated both my wife and me for various ailments.  We live out in the country which means it is sometimes a 50 or 60-mile ride to get treatment.  The local hospitals nearer to us do appear to have limited staff and options.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... 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.
