If you were to visit Canada you would also       have to pay your own medical bills either through insurance or out of pocket.       I never travel to the US without insurance.              > I donate to charity whenever I can, but I'm not comfortable with it becoming       > mandatory to do so - especially when I have other people's medical bills that       >I'd rather be paying for.

Those who are wealthy or       those with insurance need not worry. What about those who are not wealthy or       have insurance, do we just let that go?              >> There just doesn't seem to be any kind of planning in the white house today              > I don't agree with that statement.

There are many things       that need doing that he has simply ignored. Coronavirus is one that has been       ignored for months now and it seems to be back in a big way just at election       time. I don't know if you want a green new deal but some attention and thought       should be paid to the science around global warming, at least.       --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.2)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 80/1 88/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 153/0 105 135 757 802 6809 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6       SEEN-BY: 221/360 226/30 227/114 229/101 424 426 700 1016 1017 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 261/38 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 288/100       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 301/1 113 310/31 317/3 322/757 335/364 342/17       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1 801/188 197 202 900/100       SEEN-BY: 900/106 108 902/6 7 25 26 27 920/1 2452/250 3634/12 4500/1       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 221/6 1 280/464 292/854 301/1 80/1 902/27 90/1 229/426           |
