Having health insurance saved me about $149 in medication yesterday and eased the financial blow of an office visit significantly. If I didnt have it as I do now - and boy, have I been there - I would be in a really, really bad spot.

I'm not alone either. I'm one of the lucky ones now, I know that.
It seems really out of wack to me that I even have to say this: No one should have to choose between health care and keeping their lights on.
And worse, one emergency can wreck a persons entire life.

I'm grateful for the health care I have nowadays. I went YEARS with out it. But it made me quite uneasy yesterday at the doctors office as I listened to a mother find out the cost of her baby's visit and then call someone on her cell to ask for a loan to pay for it.

1/ Yesterday, @vgr challenged people to summarize this by @lou_keep : samzdat.com/2017/06/01/the… ;

2/ To re-summarize, the market is eating everything in a way that's making it alarmingly more difficult for people to have the social relations they want. It's alarming because social relations used to protect people from the market.

3/ I think it's important to note that this difficulty goes beyond, say, the value of money going down and the necessities of life becoming more expensive, so that we all have to work more or spend more time thinking about money versus relationships.

Thread: On Civil War and the Political Class in America

1. There have been a number of articles written over the past couple of years prognosticating about the potential (and even likelihood) for civil war in these here U-nited States. Time to comment on that.

2. Some commentary that really resonates with me was made by Daniel Greenfield, one of my favorite political commentators (at frontpagemag.com), in a speech at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in January 2018.

3. He explains how civil wars happen. See what you think of these quotes. I’m going to present a lot of it because it really conveys what I think about what’s going on and what’s at stake.

If you, like me, cannot point to a single thing @RepFrenchHill has done for the benefit of his constituents in #AR2 then you owe it to yourself and everyone else in the seven county area to vote for @clarketucker this November. #arpx #Vote #Midterms2018

@RepFrenchHill

.@RepFrenchHill has voted to end coverage for pre-existing conditions. He doesn't care whether or not you can afford to see a doctor, or even if your health insurance will cover a visit. He does not care about #Arkansans #AR2 #ByeFrench #VoteThemOut #arpx

@RepFrenchHill

.@RepFrenchHill supports @realDonaldTrump #ConcentrationCamps for migrant children, infants, and toddlers. He refuses to speak up about these egregious #HumanRights violations. #Arkansas deserves a better, more humane representative in #AR2 - @clarketucker is that person! #Vote
