America doesn’t have universal healthcare

America doesn’t have universal healthcare.

This topic is something America should eventually agree to adopt it in the future. So today’s blog post is about US healthcare system & why there should be universal healthcare. 

During the 2016 US Presidential election campaign, Donald Trump said many times that he’ll repeal and replace Barack Obama’s signature policy: Obamacare. Meaning he wanted to ditch it & replace with “Trumpcare”. 

Well since becoming president, Trump had tried so hard to get rid of Obamacare given a lots of GOP politicians despises Obama healthcare policy. Donald Trump failed to get rid of it (so he broke his campaign promises). However he did undermined parts of Obamacare.

Also Trump himself said in the past that he supported universal healthcare and he would introduce it. Well we knew that was not going to happen definitely. Certainly not under him given Trump & GOP politicians aren’t interested of universal free healthcare & that they were making noises about Obamacare. 

How they (Trump & GOP ) hated it (Obamacare the Affordable Care Act) but offered no real solution of how to solve problems of why American healthcare is expensive (& not free) That’s how many countries has universal free healthcare including here in the UK.

The Democrats & Joe Biden should really start to think about introducing universal healthcare in the United States (as they control the White House & two Congress: the House & the Senate) even it’s not their policy. No wonder the progressives especially on the progressive wing of the Dems including Bernie Sanders & AOC (Alexandria Ocasio Cortez) are favour of Medicare for all. With Joe Biden’s first 100 days as the president of the United States, we are yet to see whether he’ll be committed to make real change to US healthcare despite he is not keen on the idea of universal healthcare (& that he prefers Obamacare). If he does back the idea of universal healthcare (which is unlikely) then that would be good thing & that can finally solve problems & putting an end to the American healthcare being expensive & not being free. 

How long will the United States of America continue to not support the idea of universal healthcare & yet, American citizen (he/she) gets to pay money everytime when going to the hospital, GP/clinic or dentist out of their own pockets? Not being able to pay the medical costs while being on insurance. No wonder they had gone to countries that have universal healthcare like Canada, Europe, Britain, etc. 

It is time that America end the charade regarding the shambolic healthcare system that have benefited no one. It’s a sad fact that America is not like most of the countries in the world who has universal healthcare. Even if the universal healthcare is to be introduced in America, some folks would call it “socialism” or “communism” without proper understanding of how the free universal healthcare would benefit the American people in general without the stress and the need to pay of all healthcare costs like hospital operation, doctor’s appointments, dental appointments, etc & that is why average American citizen is afraid to go to the hospital & then end up being in a tough financial situation to pay healthcare costs. Yet that is freedom? Americans living in the country that is freedom? Well it is not freedom if universal free healthcare doesn’t exist. When it comes to pay money for healthcare, it is through taxation. Not paying money to see the doctor in GP/clinic or hospital or the dentist for appointments regarding person’s healthcare. Health (particularly human’s health) is not a price tag. Healthcare should be a right in USA. Not a privilege. 

So that is why there has to be change fundamentally in the States regarding how the messed up expensive US healthcare system really is.

Brexit: Gibraltar going different path

Earlier this month I last talked about Brexit regarding the relations between the United Kingdom and the European Union in the post Brexit period. mrlimitless95.blogspot.com 

Yesterday, the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of the UK - EU trade deal (TCA = trade and cooperation agreement). thelondoneconomic.com theguardian.com 

Although there is one thing I have not yet talked about is Gibraltar. British Overseas Territory that is near to Spain. 🇬🇮

I am sure many of you will remember the 2016 Brexit referendum when the UK voted to leave the European Union. Well Gibraltar also participated in the referendum. Gibraltarians had overwhelmingly voted against Brexit by 96%. It seems that was completely ignored by the press in the UK because I remember watching the news coverage on the night of the referendum results on BBC News when Gibraltar was actually the first voting area to declare the results before constituencies in the UK had mostly voted for Leave like Sunderland who was first constituency in the UK to declare the results of it. google.co.uk 

Just like Scotland, Northern Ireland & Metropolitan areas like London, Gibraltarian people & the Territory (Gibraltar) didn’t wanted Brexit & never wanted Brexit in the first place.

So why Gibraltar is going in the different path post Brexit? 

google.co.uk euractiv.com google.co.uk google.co.uk youtube.com 

In late December 4 months ago at the last minute, the UK & Spain have reached an agreement for GIB to continue having the EU freedom of movement on the basis that they will formally join the Schengen Area.🇬🇧🇬🇮🇪🇸🇪🇺 Given the fact the UK is out of the Single Market and the Customs Union. 

Now it has not yet happened. When it does eventually happen (Gibraltar in Schengen), there will be passport control for British nationals to go through while Spaniards & other EU nationals  can enter the Rock (Gibraltar) freely. t.co 

Especially that was bound to happen with Gibraltar following the EU rules. Brexit have really created problems. Whether the PM Boris Johnson, Conservative Brexit government & Brexiteers like it or not, Brexit is an huge disadvantage. 

In the past, Gibraltar have had voted in two previous referendums (1967 & 2002) to remain UK Overseas Territory two times. People of Gibraltar voted to remain British by not becoming Spanish & voted against the idea of shared sovereignty (British and Spanish) and Gibraltar have been British since 1713. The Treaty of Utrecht.

Now with the impact of Brexit, it seems that Gibraltar really wants to remain European by going in the different direction (that includes being part of the EU Schengen Area with 22 member states out of 27) and that will raise the question about the future of Gibraltar. Because eventually, in the distant future, Gibraltar might want to become Spanish (being part of Spain since Gib is near to Spanish town La Linea) & not being British anymore as UK Overseas Territory. I understand some of Gibraltarians wouldn’t necessarily want to become Spaniard. However because of the 2016 In/Out EU referendum (which was unnecessary at the time), the vast majority of Gibraltarians are anti Brexit. Especially the government of Gibraltar. 

So even with Gibraltarians prefer to stay British, in the long time, that might no longer be the case as Gibraltar goes for the different path in order to join the Schengen Area by retaining the freedom of movement & keeping the border between Gib & España open in order to prevent becoming a hard border. After all, Gibraltar’s future is in Europe. The European Union & eventually the Kingdom of Spain because of the effects of Brexit & that it could had been avoided if that didn’t happened at all. The UK & Gibraltar out of the EU & it’s economic structures: The Single Market and the Customs Union. No wonder we are already starting to wonder whether Brexit was really worth for the Whole United Kingdom since that both Northern Ireland and Scotland voted against Brexit whilst England and Wales voted for Brexit. 

Brexit could really mean the end of the UK. It is that the government have not seen nothing yet as next week in the Scottish Parliament election, SNP are projected to win the overall majority. That would mean a mandate for another Scottish independence referendum & the ongoing chaotic situation in Northern Ireland regarding the anger that there is a sea border in the Irish Sea, separating between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Like I said in the previous paragraph in this blog post, Brexit creates problems. 

With the questions already about the possible breakup of the UK, Gibraltar is seemingly to be on the move to lose Britishness as Gibraltar never wanted Brexit in the first place & that they are already in the position to join the Schengen Area. 

Ads are now live in my blog

Hello Everybody 

This is going to be a very short blog so I will get to the point. 😀🙂

I am very delighted to say that as of today (28th April 2021) there is now advertisement on my blog as I managed to place it here on my blog. Mr Limitless 95 blog. 

mrlimitless95.blogspot.com 

mrlimitless95.blogspot.com 

 

It is now been 5 months since I launched my blog on 29th November 2020. Yesterday I published my previous blog post with an update that I’ll soon place adverts on my blog. Well today, the day has finally come as it is now live as you can see while reading this blog post & previous blog posts. Same for upcoming blog posts. 

In fact, I was the first one to see it after placing  my advertisement. 

You’ll see different advertisement on my blog & I can understand anyone who is not fan of advertisement. Even myself. But as an blogger & writer, it is vital for me to do something so that I can earn money & hopefully having a job. Time is money. I know you my readers will understand why I have to do this based on my own decision. 

So yeah, that is all I can say about it. 

Advertisement in my blog part 3

Blog update 

In December last year 2020 I recall writing a blog post during the festive season before we entered 2021 that I will soon have ads on my blog. 

Well recently my blog have recently been approved & that I will start earning money via advertisement despite I had stopped having a interest in Google Adsense few months ago & I had been searching for alternatives which were not successful so that is how I made up my mind to have a interest in Google Adsense again. 

mrlimitless95.blogspot.com 

So the day have come as now there will be advertisement (& you will see one the moment that you click any of this blog post and all my previous blog posts as well for upcoming blog posts). mrlimitless95.blogspot.com 

Let me reiterate. This is about you my readers.

You are my audience, not just only readers. I created a blog for a reason. The more people do read my blog, the more that I can get many views on my blog as whole. Not just all blog posts. That can give me an opportunity to earn money while writing a blog mainly just for a hobby. It can even turn into a job & possibly lead me to employment & it can even lead to anything. After all, readers are leaders. 

And while you read my blog posts, don’t just read my blog. You can share it to anybody that you know who does read blogs or not. After all, I can be whatever I want to be because I am a blogger. My blog is my own content. In other words, I am a content creator. 

So as of today, my blog will become a blog that earns money soon. Very soon. 

 

But first, I need to deal with some things. 

Although I am happy to start placing adverts on my blog, I really don’t get with that “earnings at risk” part. I am new to Adsense given it took me 3 months to wait that long (as you know I wasn’t happy with the duration). Last thing I need is another disappointment so I am going to find ways to get it sorted ASAP (dealing with that ads.txt thingy to create a custom version of my blog that includes advertisement).

So I will deal with it so that I won’t have to see that “earnings at risk” again given I have not yet start to earn money & I want to get started of placing adverts on this blog so my blog can gain more attention. 

Have a great day and a great week everybody. 🙂
