“I Hate You”, She Explained

Progressive Lino Lakes City Councilwoman Melissa Stockman-Maher contributed to this nation’s civic discourse in commenting about a Tom Emmer “town hall” meeting on a 6th District farm:

If you live in Lino Lakes, you might want to ask if Councilwoman Stockman Maher is threatening only Congressman Emmer, or if there are parts of Lino Lakes that conservatives in general should try to avoid, lest the Councilwoman likewise sic an armed mob on them.

Or maybe just make sure someone runs against her, with this tweet as part of their campaign literature.

  1. Remember when the reprobates were being outraged by target symbols? Remember the climate of hate?

    LMAO

  2. The ACA is the Mother Of All Cloward And Piven strategies. You get a ton of people dependent on it–mostly Medicaid–and it’s designed to implode on it’s self. The stuff that Gruber, Obama, and Ezeleil Emanuel said in their own words on “fixing” it was laughable. Then you have a bunch of stupid people show up whining about free stuff

    The town halls are a waste of time.

    The GOP should have taken a year to do education and messaging.

  3. Health ***Insurance*** is a financial product to manage the risk of catastrophic health events. Conflating this with prepaid medicine and socializing who ever needs to be socialized is a disaster. Employer based group rates being legal is no way to run an economy or a fair society. Mises.org is right about everything.

  4. Fed, what you say is especially true since the arrival of little clinics in drug stores operated by nurse practitioners.

    They can diagnose and prescribe meds for at least 60% of the common ailments people suffer with. And their fees are a small fraction of what you’ll pay an MD.

    But what we really need are two big things.

    1. Doctors, hospitals and clinics must advertise their rates so we can shop for the best deals.

    2. Congress needs to stop being big pharma’s step and fetchit. Medicare and medicaid must be allowed to negotiate drug prices. I’ve heard all the excuses, and they’re bullshit.

  5. Concierge medicine (prepaid medicine) is as low as $50 a month. Oklahoma. The Doctors love it. Their overhead goes to almost zero, relatively speaking.

    There is another thing called “risk sharing” that can be done between hospitals and insurance companies. It’s similar.

    There is also a ton of ways fat deductibles can be managed with financial products.

  6. Back to the topic, it strikes me that Emmer has grounds for a restraining order against her. That would be fun to watch.

    Back to healthcare, there are all kinds of ways that people would voluntarily improve their health if only it benefited their pocketbook, and that has a lot to do with whether we cover everything, or we rather require that people pay a portion of the cost for avoidable illnesses.

  7. Premium threats, keeping your HSA fat, and concierge medicine (efficient general practitioner involvement) are the best ways to motivate better health behavior.

  9. If you want to see another hysterical and ignorant Democrat, check out @newtbuster

    He’s he flat out told me he only could retire because of the (REGRESSIVELY FUNDED) ACA and he hopes it forces single payer. He has no problem forcing single payer by any means necessary. Massively ignorant of insurance principles.

  10. Look at ***HOW*** the ACA was shoved down our throats.

    Look at what it did.

    Look at the political dynamics of all of the dependency it created.

    Now tell me, why should I give a crap if Donald J. Trump is our Current Ruler?
