>> medicade You know, the first 10 or so times I saw this I let it go as maybe it was just a typo. You DO REALIZE this isn't the correct spelling of Medicaid, right?

Even Harvard admits it. papers.ssrn.com We study the impact of the minimum wage on firm exit in the restaurant industry, exploiting recent changes in the minimum wage at the city level. The evidence suggests that higher minimum wages increase overall exit rates for restaurants. However, lower quality restaurants, which are already closer to the margin of exit, are disproportionately impacted by increases to the minimum wage. Our point estimates suggest that a one dollar increase in the minimum wage leads to a 14 percent increase in the likelihood of exit for a 3.5-star restaurant (which is the median rating), but has no discernible impact for a 5-star restaurant (on a 1 to 5 star scale). poseidon01.ssrn.com

"That meant thousands of poor people died or did not get needed medical help when they needed it " The good news is that thousands of poor people do NOT die in the USA because they cannot get needed medical help when they need it. That is just propaganda put out by the blubbering Left. Don't you think that you are being just a little overly dramatic? No one in the USA is denied healthcare. That is the law. The law is posted in hospital emergency rooms. You have been told this many times but you just will not except it. Call your local non profit hospital and ask them what their procedure is when someone comes to the emergency room. Does the patient get treated first or are they ask for insurance first? Hospitals write off millions of dollars every month as noncollectable. You would be amazed. You have no idea what you are talking about. You are a dem wit and you always have been. Demonrats do not seem to have any brains. Those are the facts. Obamacare was a horrendous solution in search of a problem.

Dude, doody, what are you doing? Have you liquidated the Juneau shacks yet to pursue poker as your livelihood as a septuagenarian in Las Vegas? Once you move on from the forever noble trade of selling real estate in a land locked location like Juneau, what might you do if playing cards doesn't go as planned?
