Nope. The dilemma you have is that you cannot be positive that you & your
family will never need Medicaid, nor any other âSocial Servicesâ, and your
shortsighted attitude is that you donât want to pay for having any
insurance.
And thatâs also why youâve dodged on my question on if you (a) actually
know, & (b) are actually financially prepared to self-fund all of your
retirement healthcare expenses, at least to the average published costs.

Nope. This Administration is all about tax cuts for the 1% which will make
the deficit even worse. They sell it to their base by slashing so-called
âunpopularâ stuff, under the premise of reducing the deficit, but due to
their tax cuts for their oligarchs, theyâre not actually reducing the
deficit. Those who benefit from this strategy wonât be harmed as much
relative to the general public by tariffs because tariffs are regressive
instead of progressive.

Yup. Have a major one presently nearby and they look nothing like your
trolling pics. Plus Iâm scheduled for a small municipal project on my
property later this spring, and I know that the crew wonât be dozens
standing around doing nothing. Iâll take pics.
