We need to include food stamps sign up info

While he has cut funding for food programs for the demographic that votes for him. Someone needs to bring this up when he runs for reelection,

isn't he going to oppose dump in 2020?

And yeah, he gets softball treatment from the snooze media desperate for a "moderate" puke. You know, the "good" kind.

Even Bill Maher had Kasick on recently, to thunderous applause.

We need more coverage of his actual actions in office, and their consequences. Not puffery designed to make him look palatable to the 'Murican public.

the major provider (Anthem) stating that there is not enough people to the Ohio health care system, so they are just going to pack up and leave, they can't make a "profit" .

Major Ohio insurer is pulling out of Obamacare market for 2018

WASHINGTON -- One of Ohio's major health insurers, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, will not sell policies to individuals and families in the state's Obamacare marketplace next year. The company cited a shrinking market for Affordable Care Act-related insurance and too much uncertainty over federal regulations, taxes and reimbursements insurers might or might not recoup.

Withdrawal from other states could follow. Anthem's Ohio decision was announced Tuesday because it followed the Monday state deadline for all insurers to make their intentions clear with rate filings.

"Regarding other states, we remain in active dialogue with state leaders and regulators in hopes that we can find a sustainable path moving forward before we are required to make a decision," company spokesman Jeff Blunt said in an email. "As the individual marketplace continues to evolve, Anthem will continue to advocate solutions to ensure long-term stability in the market."

, he can't look at himself in the mirror and say, you know what, maybe I should introduce legislation to have Medicare for all, (you know have a truly competitive market), so that everyone going hungry could save there money and buy "food" instead of giving Anthem a profit off of death..................amazing

We are also in the bottom 10 for infant mortality. I just wish we could be a little embarrassed about how poorly we are treating our citizens, but no, instead we have a governor who wants to be president (and receiving accolades all over about being SUCH a moderate) and a legislature that is tone deaf.

And yet Columbus is rated one of the top places to raise your kids in America. Seems there's a big disconnect somewhere along the growth path.

It is quite affordable and offers a good quality of life. That being said, Ohio overall is hurting in many ways. We have been behind the rest of the country coming back after the recession, we have been starving our public schools while allowing charter schools to run wild, and discrepancies in health care access have resulted in things like a really, really high infant mortality rate. That especially affects minority communities. Ohio also has terrible problems with opioid abuse.

yup

... percent, July 1, 2015, 82.7% ...

... 82.7% are White people ...

... hunh ... you'd think that there would be some "Christians" amongst all them White folks ...

"Only on Sunday during church or when voting".

If I was going to bet probably less than 0.00867%

I think he gets less then $30/month. If it wasn't for his using 2 food banks, and shared chilis& soups, it would be very hard to get enough calories.

expired and the vegetables are close to rotten. There's two churches that have suppers on Tuesday and Wednesday.And I know for a fact b/c I had to do it years ago( until I got back on my feet) that you have to give them your whole life history and they make you feel like crap if you don't have little ones it's easier to just go hungry. Some seniors don't or can't drive anymore or if they can't afford a way to get food stamps how are they gonna get them and no way to the store to spend them if they did get them. You would be shocked how many seniors have no one to help them not even their own children. Thanks for letting me rant.

She made use of the local pantry.
The expiration date food was fresh out of the freezer. It was good stuff.
She would share some of it with me.
Please do not automatically look down at near expiration date food.
Local grocers discount near expiration food and I eagerly seek it out.
It's good stuff.
Just pay attention.

Would u rather it get thrown out?

yeah give those old people tax cuts. That'll help.

Then cut meals on wheels because those old people are getting too uppity and need to stop feeling so entitled.



The rust belt has an aging population and young people leaving. Not a good combination.

people would be shocked to see the number and variety of people who need food assistance
