Joltin' Joe Biden

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I am experiencing the limitations of Medicare right now.

One of my gold crowns got loose (still in place) and the Medicare dental coverage is a joke. I suspect this will wind up costing me about $1 grand to repair, if not more. I'll know more on Thursday after the initial appt.

Not fun.

Medicare doesn't have dental. You must be one of the ones who fell for the bullshit privatized Medicare

Yes, he's on Kaiser Senior Advantage:

This was a continuation of his longstanding Kaiser coverage. Probably not the choice I would have made, but perhaps more understandable than someone choosing an Advantage plan out of the blue.

It's still privatized Medicare and can only hasten the end of Medicare.

Most employers round here offer Kaiser as their employee health care plan. Some offer higher end such as Blue Cross or other non-Kaiser stuff. But all that is irrelevant to the dental coverage; Medicare was never designed to offer it, AFAIK. The current Medicare Senior Advantage dental coverage is very spartan and covers only routine cleaning and x-rays. I tried that once... the cleaning was perfunctory and I never did see the x-rays they said they took.

If any of you have been following Biden's health care initiatives, you'd know that he has favored bringing full dental coverage into Medicare. But he has been blocked in this by the GQP and of course that is just plain wrong. Shoot, even the Brits have better dental care for their senior citizens. Eventually we'll get there, maybe in my lifetime.

In any case, tomorrow I'm going back to the same dentist outfit I got the crowns put on at. That dentist has retired but his office has my records and seems competent. We'll see. This is an expense I didn't quite anticipate, but looks like every five to ten years something I'll have to deal with.

As for Senior Advantage, yeah, it's a joke but the best option available to me at this time. And there is something even worse the cons are trying to replace it with.

Agreed, I was just saying that he got there for continuity, not that it's a good thing.

He is the Fox News representative
The degree to which this little man begs to be dominated by Psaki is just absolutely insane. He should be paying her every time she answers him.
There’s a certain point when he should just register as an oil lobbyist
Doocey can’t seem to wrap his head around President Biden has no magic sway over oil companies jeez
She was explicit that there's permits cleared for drilling and oil companies just need to do so. He ended with "there's a lot of grey area here." Wtf?
But not a bit of grey matter...
And he's been Psaki'd one too many times. Dude will never learn.
He’s got the Ted Cruz humiliation kink
She's savage. And I love it.
“an embroidered invitation to drill”

Jen Psaki takes out Peter Doocey yet again.

Joe has medals:
Biden presents Presidential Medal of Freedom to Simone Biles, Gabrielle Giffords and 14 others

... The president took the time to recognize each recipient individually, sharing their contributions to the country and the world, starting with Biles.

"When we see her compete, we see unmatched, unmatched power and determination, grace and daring," the president said. "A trailblazer and a role model, when she stands on the podium, we see what she is — absolute courage to turn personal pain into greater purpose, to stand up and speak for those who cannot stand for herself. Today, she adds to her medal count of 32 — how are you going to find room? — 32 Olympic and world championship medals."
:clap: :-|| At 25 the youngest recipient ever.
The president also had words of praise for McCain, with whom he served in the Senate....
I guess, for the totality of his life, but he really pissed me off at times.

A member of the Sisters of Social Service, Campbell advocates for immigration reform and economic justice.

Not that I'm opposed to rubbing TRE45ON's nose in it, but is that sufficient?
Sandra Lindsay

Lindsay is a New York nurse who served on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
She was also "the first American to be administered an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine." Not sure about Joe's remarks, but I see this as a medal for all pandemic nurses and other medical staff. :-|| :-|| :-||

Plus the UMW before that. As a radical lefty and treehugger I didn't like everything he did, but he had a helluva career.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_T ... _president
... In March 2013, Trumka confirmed that organized labor would make an effort to work more closely with groups trying to aid immigrant workers, as the national debate on minimum wage and fair employment in the restaurant industry heated up.

On August 15, 2017, a few days after the Unite the Right rally and then U.S. President Donald Trump's broadly criticized statements, Trumka quit the president's "manufacturing council" and published a statement, which included the following:

We cannot sit in a council for a President who tolerates bigotry and domestic terrorism. [...] President Trump's remarks today repudiate his forced remarks yesterday about the KKK and neo-Nazis, [...] We must resign on behalf of America's working people, who reject all notions of legitimacy of these bigoted groups. ...
