How is Trump going to make America great again?

All you do is complain. If you are so smart, how would you fix the problems?

how come is much more important the individual right to keep and bear arms that the individual right to have medical treatment and assistance available and affordable at any time in any circumstances???

Medical assistance is available at anytime we call them emergency rooms and ask any illegal immigrant how affordable they are. And it's more important to be able to protect yourself from having to end up in the emergency room in the first place.

The situation in many Urban ERs today is so violent, many ER docs wear guns to protect themselves.

Ana Marengo, a spokeswoman for the city’s Health and Hospitals Corporation, said that there had been no shootings in the system’s 11 hospitals in recent history, and that “gun violence has not been a problem inside our hospitals.” She referred questions about crime statistics to the Police Department, and police officials could not immediately provide such figures.

And in the few instances in the last 20 years or so where shots were fired inside a hospital, the gunmen tended to target hospital workers. In a case in 2004, a man shot a desk clerk at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens and abducted his wife; the man, Miguel Carrasquillo, was later arrested but died in custody while awaiting trial.

On Dec. 31, 1997, a former patient took a security guard hostage at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center; he fired two shots during a standoff but surrendered without injuring anyone.

To protect their corridors, 52 percent of medical centers reported that their security personnel carried handguns and 47 percent said they used Tasers, according to a 2014 national survey. That was more than double estimates from studies just three years before. Institutions that prohibit them argue that such weapons — and security guards not adequately trained to work in medical settings — add a dangerous element in an already tense environment. They say many other steps can be taken to address problems, particularly with people who have a mental illness.

Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, for example, sends some of its security officers through the state police academy, but the strongest weapon they carry is pepper spray, which has been used only 11 times in 10 years. In New York City’s public hospital system, which runs several of the 20 busiest emergency rooms in the country, security personnel carry nothing more than plastic wrist restraints. (Like many other hospitals, the system coordinates with the local police for crises its staff cannot handle.)

According to what Miller wrote above -"many ER docs wear guns to protect themselves" - that must have changed totally between February and now.

The majority who study and work hard will get the opportunities to make a comfortable living for themselves and their families. Many without a college education also do very well, because they have the right skills.

Unintentionally funny is the funniest kind of funny.

GiuJohn,

I am just curious. What do you think about the number of Jews with powerful positions in American government and the financial industry?

I have absolutely no problem with people of the Jewish faith. And maybe what we need is a good Jewish president.

The problem is that even the brightest, of the brightest, Jewish President would do something that others would criticize, and many Gentiles being who they are would then collectively blame all American Jews, or for that matter all 14 million Jews in the world. It's just the nature of many Gentiles to like scapegoating Jews, in my opinion. Notice how you do not see a Jewish President from that perspective, telling me that being Jewish is just a different trip through the human experience, aside from theology.
