Liking the fix to obamacare...let's make subsidies age based instead of financial...cause that's definitely not going to shift the cost to the middle class and poor.

That's a fantastic idea, but it probably won't happen.
With car insurance, you speed, you get tickets, you pay more than less risky drivers. Same is said about health insurance. Women of child-bearing age incur higher claims than males of the same age, and used to have higher premiums that reflected the increased potential for claim. Colorado legislators called foul and said charging different rates for men and women is discriminatory, and now this state has unisex rates. The same with medical underwriting, very young and very old folks have much higher utilization and subsidies should be based on utilization or age rather than income or the ability to pay. I don't want to subsidize grandpa's new hip, but my opinion changes when I'm the one needing the new hip. The issue that I am unable to overcome is that a small percentage of those with health conditions who did nothing to put themselves in that position, which makes sense.
I don't think the individual mandate requiring people to purchase insurance would be an issue if health insurance wasn't so expensive. I would liken it to auto insurance if the cost can come down. Or, if the penalty was $10k, I don't think we'd see many young folks go without, but I think that the dems were planning on running the table with hilldog and the crap hitting the fan now would have been the perfect time for her to reintroduce hillarycare or some other BS. I like Trump's expanded use of health savings accounts and tax credits based on age, not income.
I still don't see anything that begins to address the crisis of the rising cost of healthcare though.
So let's look at 'grass'. Henry Ford built a vehicle from hemp. Founding fathers had hemp fields. So what happened? Wm Randolph Hearst (gigantic publishing mogul had a ton of money invested in tree farms for harvesting paper to run his empire. He had the money and power (friends in high places whose political careers he funded) to lean on politicians to criminalize it. Politicians, can be bought or compromised (black mailed) to do the globalist's bidding. Same thing with cancer research- too much money in it to actually find a cure.
I know of a vice president of one of the big firms (Goldman Sachs...?) who was dieing of cancer. The American Cancer Society told him if he donated 10M they would have a cure in 10 years. That was more than 10 years ago. globalists run politics and control the money making businesses, especially those that rake in billions each year from ignorant sheeple. Many free energy devices have been confiscated in the name of National Security. No doubt at the behest of big oil, and on and on. Seems Trump is in an impossible situation unless there is some sort of divine intervention
This is interesting but untrue. I like the anecdote though, it feels good.
I call bullshit on your hearst claims, I call 80% bullshit on your henry ford hemp car, I call bullshit on your free energy conspriacy bullshit, and although I can't prove it, I also call bullshit on your feel goody story about the ACS. The ACS has raised 4.5 billion since it was founded in 1913. You can find this in ACS literature, or here:
https://www.cancer.org/about-us/financial-governance-information/stewardship-report.html. That makes absolutely no sense that they would even have to solicit funds, let alone the way you claim. I don't think the ACS is soliciting donations from millionaire's with cancer. It would be interesting to see any documentation of something like this. Surely there isn't only one single case. I like your hearst theory but racism makes much more sense. This is the first link I found: . Alternet! I also think there is more money to be made in the cure rather than keeping the cure a secret.
"globalists run politics and control the money making businesses, especially those that rake in billions each year from ignorant sheeple. Many free energy devices have been confiscated in the name of National Security. No doubt at the behest of big oil"
This is so wonderfully vague that I actually like it. If your free energy devices involve anything other than tesla, then bullshit. Even the stuff tesla did can't be proven, at least the fun and interesting things, but all of that can be found at the oatmeal in a single entry. It's worth the look:

Here's a newspaper clipping, so ten percent of seventy percent is what you consider the threshold of a hemp car? That's interesting.
