Rand Paul believes private businesses should have the right to discriminate against people for the race, religion, and whatever reason they would like. I tried to give Rand Paul the benefit of the doubt on this issue; however, it is clear he is interested in taking a somewhat “principled” but unfortunately incredibly rigid position on property rights.

More proof that Rush Limbaugh shouldn’ tbe taken seriously as a political analyst, and is really just an entertainer.

R. Limbaugh.

Costa Rica has a combination of government and private health care systems in the world, which are controlled by the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (aka: the “Caja,” or CCSS), where citizens and legal residents pay about 10-11 percent of their incomes to access the government-owned monopoly insurance system.

Costa Rica has a government sponsored network of some 30 major hospitals and 250 clinics. The CCSS system is tasked with providing low-cost health care to Costa Rican residents, and has been in place for more than six decades.

Just a referesher on Lady Lynn De Rotschild — she is a jet-setting Investment Banker who lives in both NYC and London ( in a castle). I most remember her for most likely being the only person with a British title of nobility to call then Senator Obama an “elitist.”
