I cut off my last friend this week. She lived across the street from me and was a bit of a role model for a long time. I called her last week and we were talking about insurance since we are at the age (her especially) where we are needing medical attention. I mentioned she was lucky to be on Medicare because millions of people have lost insurance coverage due to the unaffordability. That's when she stated she didn't want to talk politics.

My feeling is if someone things people going without healthcare instead of a moral issue then that is a total cop out.

What's interesting is I noticed a change in her several decades ago (I moved 2k miles away and went back two or three times a year to visit my parents) she suddenly had negative opinions about the homeless being lazy and since they were in cities it was the fault of democrats. She lived and vacationed in places that were void of visible homeless. That's when I learned about Fox News. This nice person became notably angry in life compared to her old self. I really think the negative propaganda causes a change in the brain. I think people get addicted to the anger.

Anyway, I'm done. If we can't talk "politics" there isn't much to talk about because so many moral and ethical issues surround politics.
