Fish, I'm very interested to find out that question. I would ask you however, is diabetes a pre-existing condition that's outside your control as an individual? Or should your desire to eat what you like a society at large problem to deal with?

Yes, it is for some.
However, I've seen parents buying their 12 year olds 32 Oz. Monster drinks many times before.
So, yes, so much of diabetes is self-inflicted.
And yes, it is a serious problem. I out of every 7 kids are showing signs of it now.
One of my son's friends is only 44 years old and had to have his big toe amputated a couple of weeks ago because of diabetes. But, it runs in his family as his mother has had both her legs amputated.

Early in the evening, signs looked strong for Democrat Jon Ossoff as he hoped to attract a simple majority of the votes cast in today's GA-06 special election. If he'd done so, he'd have landed a major blow against President Trump and the GOP by avoiding a run-off in which most analysts believe Democrats have a steeper hill to climb. He did not. With a critical mass of the vote counted, Ossoff is projected to finish in the mid-to-high 40's, setting up a June 20 runoff against Republican Karen Handel. Overall turnout was robust and Ossoff performed well in the early voting, but a strong GOP showing on election day overtook that advantage.

It don't have to be Jil.
That kind of stuff I leave up to the people. If that's what the people want, I'm all for it, if they don't, I don't want it.
But, I read your post on Income Taxes. Wouldn't it be nice, if you said,"Hey Mr. Government, since I'm paying all this hard earned money in taxes, I want a portion of those tax dollars to go towards me being able to afford my own healthcare".
I certainly don't see anything wrong with that.

And besides Jil, The National Heathcare act is not about providing healthcare free to anyone.
It is about insuring that Healthcare insurance is available to everyone in America that wants it!
So, you may not be looking at things properly!

maybe you should read it again fish. I do not refer to Soc Sec and Medicare as taxes, they are not. They are a Gov't mandated insurance payment policy. At least for all those who actually pay their Gov't mandated premiums.
And those who pay nothing and want to tap into it? I don't give two craps who they are...bugger off..

Ossof won't have all those advantages (such as receiving almost no attacks from anyone else) in June, and more people will realize he doesn't live there.
The democrats are full of themselves. I guess they won't ever learn. This man should not even be allowed to run, he is not even from their district.
And for all the talk of Democratic intensity -- and let's be clear: there was a massive and expensive get-out-the-vote push for Ossoff.
Yet another $oro$ candidate?

It's going to be a runoff between him and Karen Handel. He came close to winning it outright, but only almost.
He's not in my district, but everybody in the Atlanta area has seen the commercials. The problem with the repubs is who they had running against him. Mostly a bunch of Mitch McConnell types which everyone is tired of.

Republicans haven't lost the 6th District in Georgia yet.
Democrats Fall Short in Much-Hyped Georgia Special Election, Run-Off To Come
Turnout.
Early in the evening, signs looked strong for Democrat Jon Ossoff as he hoped to attract a simple majority of the votes cast in today's GA-06 special election. If he'd done so, he'd have landed a major blow against President Trump and the GOP by avoiding a run-off in which most analysts believe Democrats have a steeper hill to climb. He did not. With a critical mass of the vote counted, Ossoff is projected to finish in the mid-to-high 40's, setting up a June 20 runoff against Republican Karen Handel. Overall turnout was robust and Ossoff performed well in the early voting, but a strong GOP showing on election day overtook that advantage -- setting up a familiar dynamic:

Republicans are by no means guaranteed to win the June follow-up election between the two remaining candidates, but the GOP electorate will no longer be diced up 11 different ways. And for all the talk of Democratic intensity -- and let's be clear: there was a massive and expensive get-out-the-vote push for Ossoff -- enough Republicans rallied to deny Ossoff a victory tonight. The 30-year-old (who doesn't live in the district) appears to be hovering right around Hillary Clinton's vote percentage from November, which is rather strong for a Democrat, compared to previous cycles. That's the good news for the goalpost-shifting 'Resistance' coming out of the night. But there's another side to that coin:
Dan McLaughlin?@baseballcrank
True. Also true that if this goes to a runoff, the opponent will be Karen Handel, who is better suited to the district than Trump. https://twitter.com/jeffhauser/status/854512286450561024 …
7:53 PM - 18 Apr 2017
Exactly. Trump ran historically poorly for a Republican in this district. As I mentioned earlier today, he lost GA-06 to Marco Rubio by double digits in the presidential primary, and only beat Clinton by a lone point there. Then-Congressman Tom Price, by contrast, carried roughly 62 percent of the vote in November. Karen Handel is a lot closer to a traditional Republican than Trump is, which could prove to be an important advantage in two months. Make no mistake about it: The battle over this seat is not over, but this one stings for the Left. They sunk millions of dollars and enormous energy into the race, and they weren't able to win. Will they double down and focus on the run-off with equal passion, or will they shift to the next chance to score a symbolic victory? We shall see. But for now, Republicans have dodged yet another bullet, and Democrats are still seeking their first legislative gain since Trump was elected. Thus far, six special elections in, only one seat has flipped...to the GOP. Republicans shouldn't gloat, but Democrats have yet to see real evidence of a big blue wave building. I'll leave you with this fair-minded admonition:
Nathan Gonzales @nathanlgonzales
If history is a guide, the House was in play before #GA06 results and the House will be in play after #GA06 results.

Funny to see the Democrats eating themselves in the comment sections of Huffpo and Salon -
The Russians were called in.
The district is gerrymandered.
The voting machines were stolen (apparently true) and tampered with.
The Republicans tampered with the vote count.
The other three Democrats should have dropped out. (Would not have mattered, all of them together didn't get over 50.)
The other Democrats weren't even Democrats, they were plants to pull votes away.
It's OK that he doesn't live in the district, he's a real man because he lives with his girlfriend so she can go to medical school and he's only "ten minutes" away. (She can't drive "ten minutes"?) (A "real man" might consider marriage, but that's just so old tired thinking, huh.)
Karen Handel can't win in a Republican district because Republicans hate women.
The fight is about good government versus the 1% - Yet they pick a privileged white guy.
On and on.
And they were SO READY to crow for weeks that this signaled the takedown of Trump.

Democrats poured $8 million and Hollywood star power into this House race in Georgia. And all it took to deny the Democrats a victory was a couple of tweets from President Trump.
http://www.politico.com/…/04/democrats-georgia-ossoff-237348
Democrats begin to wonder: When do we win?
For all the roiling anger and energy at the grassroots, the party still fell short in Georgia and Kansas. And Democratic prospects in upcoming elections aren't promising.
As it became clear late Tuesday evening that Jon Ossoff would fall just short of the 50-percent mark in the first round of voting in a suburban Atlanta special election, Democrats back in Washington started leafing through their calendars and asking: When does the winning start?
Ossoff’s moral victory — capturing 48 percent of the vote in a conservative-oriented district — was welcome, but after two successive close-but-no-cigar finishes in House special elections in Georgia and Kansas, a new worry is beginning to set in.
For all the anger, energy, and money swirling at the grassroots level, Democrats didn’t manage to pick off the first two Republican-held congressional seats they contended for in the Trump era, and the prospects aren’t markedly better in the next few House races coming up: the Montana race at the end of May, and the South Carolina contest on June 20.
Their best shot at knocking Donald Trump down a peg appears to be Ossoff’s runoff against Republican Karen Handel, also scheduled for June 20. But the Democrat will be an underdog in that contest, when there won’t be a crowded field of Republicans to splinter the vote.
After that, it’ll be another five months before the New Jersey and Virginia elections for governor, leaving some strategists and lawmakers wondering how to keep the furious rank-and-file voters engaged in fueling and funding the party’s comeback — especially given the sky-high expectations that surrounded Ossoff’s ultimately unsuccessful run at the 50-percent threshold that was necessary to win the seat outright.
“The resistance has it right: they are fighting mad, but they find joy in the fight. And so it’s not that anybody should be expected to gloss over the challenges that we have, or be Pollyanna about our situation as a country or as a party,” said Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz, decrying some of the party’s messaging describing the prospect of an Ossoff loss as devastating. “It’s just that there has to be a sense of momentum that builds over time and that requires that we define our objectives tightly — and that we are prepared to lose more than we win for the time being, but that we understand that we have the vast majority of the American people on our side, and history on our side.”
Democrats have posted a few successes in the opening months of the Trump era. They’ve slowed the new president’s agenda and overperformed in a slew of low-profile state legislative races. By any measure, Ossoff’s strong performance in Georgia and the 20-point swing toward the Democratic nominee in last week’s Kansas special election are impressive accomplishments given the conservative orientation of those districts. But they still fall under the category of loss mitigation, not concrete victories against a president the party loathes.
Now, with Ossoff falling short of an outright win despite an unprecedented surge of campaign cash and national attention — in a district which Hillary Clinton lost by just one point in 2016 — comes the potential for another round of finger-pointing within the party. The worry: that if operatives and voters continue their practice of quietly blaming each other for losses, as they did after a narrow defeat outside of Wichita last week, the current level of runaway enthusiasm and budding trust in the national party leadership could sputter out long before the 2018 midterms.
“Whatever happens over the next few weeks, it’s critical that rank-and-file Democrats feel like the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] left it all on the playing field,” said longtime party strategist Simon Rosenberg, president of the NDN think tank.
After attorney James Thompson came within seven points of winning the race for CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s old seat in Kansas last week, some leading progressive voices, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, were quick to blame national Democrats for not spending enough time and energy to help Thompson. Since then, DCCC and Democratic National Committee officials have been sure to detail the work they’ve done for the party ahead of Ossoff’s race.
With the approach of a Montana contest that will see national resources poured in while political celebrities like Sanders descend on the state to support candidate Rob Quist, the question Democrats are asking themselves is whether it will be enough — and how to keep the grassroots fires stoked as Trump’s administration passes its first 100 days mark. Trump won Montana by 21 points, after all, and the race in Georgia to replace HHS Secretary Tom Price illustrated that a combination of Republican infighting, the Trump factor and an avalanche of campaign cash still isn’t enough to guarantee Democratic success.
The South Carolina race to replace Budget Director Mick Mulvaney will take place under similarly difficult conditions — in a district Trump won by 18 points, and in a state where he won by 14.

Supporters of Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff watch as the results for Georgia's 6th congressional district special election come in at a watch party in Atlanta.
One way to avoid a letdown, some Democrats say, is to train the focus on legislative fights where Democrats have slowed the White House, from its travel ban to the attempt to repeal Obamacare. Party operatives figure pushes like that might be enough to keep the base energized as opportunities to push back on individual policies surface.
“People are responding to Trump, and as long as Trump is in office they will continue to respond,” said Democratic pollster Margie Omero. “There are plenty of other avenues for engagement. Constant meetings and groups popping up all over the country. You have corporate motivated efforts that people are taking to make sure that companies they support have political views that line up with their own. You have the groundswell of activism against [Neil] Gorsuch, and then you have the protests like the tax protest or the climate ones coming down the pike. So there’s lots of opportunity for opposing the president. [Yes,] as long there’s voting people are going to be paying a lot of attention to it. But it goes beyond that.”
The fact that Democrats have picked themselves up off the ground since Election Day to mount a resistance at all creates a positive feedback loop, they believe — pointing to local legislative races as evidence of an optimistic trend.
“The biggest driver of enthusiasm right now is the rejection of Trump and the Trump agenda,” said party strategist Jesse Ferguson, a former top official at the party’s House campaign wing. “There have been far more successes in resisting the Trump administration than anyone would have expected on November 10, whether it’s beating back the health care repeal or some of these special elections in state legislatures, or closer-than-expected congressional races.”
With the political map glaringly free of obvious near-term win opportunities, Schatz believes the party’s messaging needs some refining. In his view, that means officials at the DCCC should cut the doom-and-gloom messaging in their fundraising emails — a significant way the party communicates with backers.
“I don’t mind the occasional call to action that is based on a negative emotion, it’s the declaring final defeat at the start of the third quarter that bugs me. ‘All is lost’ is a preposterous thing to say to a voter or a donor, and to use words like ‘crushing’ is a total misunderstanding of how to motivate people,” he said on Tuesday, just hours before the DCCC sent out a Nancy Pelosi-signed note with the subject line "crushing loss."
“The point to be made here is this is Tom Price’s seat,” he added. "One of the most conservative people in the United States House. And when he vacated his seat nobody thought it was going to be a problem for national Republicans and competitive for us. So if we can keep up this competitiveness, it’s going to be a really interesting year in 2018. But if we define our success as winning in Kansas, Montana, and Georgia, we’re setting ourselves up for potential disappointment.”

MILLIONS IN OUTSIDE MONEY, Hollywood Influence Couldn’t Put Georgia’s 6th District Democrat Candidate In “Win” Column [VIDEO]
» 100percentfedUp.com
Democrats used the anger and fury of their progressive base, including hate-filled Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson, to stir up emotions in voters as a way to encourage them to the show up at the polls in Georgia yesterday. They failed…
Listen to disgusting Hollywood actor/radical activist Samuel L. Jackson tell voters in a state where he doesn’t even live to “go vote…vote for the Democratic Party.” STOP Donald Trump, the man who encourages racial and religious discrimination and sexism. Remember what happened the last time people stayed home. We got stuck with Trump! We have to channel the great vengeance and fury that we have for this administration into votes at the ballot box.”
Here’s what President Trump had to say on Twitter about the Democrats failed efforts to embarrass him:
Donald J. Trump?@realDonaldTrump
Despite major outside money, FAKE media support and eleven Republican candidates, BIG "R" win with runoff in Georgia. Glad to be of help!
10:09 PM - 18 Apr 2017

Dems failed in Kansas and are now failing in Georgia. Great job Karen Handel! It is now Hollywood vs. Georgia on June 20th.

If Republicans are going to maintain their majority in the House and Senate, perhaps they need to take a few pages from the Democratic playbook. The Democrats are fighting for their lives…this is no time for the Republicans to sit back and take their majority for granted.
Republican resources were split between eleven Republican contenders. The most prolific fundraising candidate among them raised less than $500,000, — not even ten percent of the amount Ossoff raised.

BREAKING: Ridiculous "Data Error" Almost Changed Georgia Runoff Vote!
Due to a "data error from one of the "voting cards", certification of the election was delayed, and could have been thrown in favor of Ossoff.
From WSB-TV Atlanta:
Republican candidates say the district will remain conservative.
"The views and values of a proven independent and conservative leader who has delivered for the people of this district," Handel said.
Fulton County officials said due to data error from one of the cards, they had to manually go through hundreds of cards to find the culprit. Once the "bad card" was found, they were able to resume counting the votes.
Some believe Tuesday’s vote was a kind of early referendum on the Trump administration.
Democrats thought they could win it. Republicans are trying to hold onto what has always been considered a Conservative stronghold.
Channel 2's Carl Willis went to Handel's headquarters in north Fulton County, where she was looking forward to a runoff.
"We cannot let an untested, unproved, inexperienced ally of Nancy Pelosi steal a seat that has been held by the great leaders of Tom Price, Johnny Isakson and Newt Gingrich," she said.

Barely any mention of this election all day, because he didn't win it.
There would have been an all-day orgy of thrilled coverage if he had won.
A lesson in media bias.
