You then suggest that the 'ingredients' of anti-acid pills are regularly studied, and I assume approved by scientists, unlike Sonhouse in his chicken coop cooking up some stuff for his neighbors.
You also temper your discussion with the profitability of the pills, a common ploy of liberals who are against profit, free enterprise, and capitalism....which lead to owning ...[text shortened]... tell me if Esomeprazole is OK to take!!! I take it , it works, but it could be eating my insides!
It's ok to take esomeprazole. It is very effective, and I don't see a black box warning on the label. Just keep in mind for signs of some of the low-frequency side effects.

You may find it difficult to stop taking it due to rebound... 😆

If you want an example of a 'tough, nasty' regulatory agency - you want 'NICE' in the UK. Ironic name, eh? They are NOT nice to drug companies! 😆

Over there, if your new drug is ONLY as effective as a generic, you ONLY get the generic price!

That's why we need Medicare For All, to stop getting fleeced by marketing ploys - which you call "capitalism" but I call "fraud." 😆
Whatever, you socialist, you.
I am waiting for free housing, though, so I will be happy in the end. But, will I qualify if I already own a house,,,or two? Like , If i work harder than others and buy a house, is it fair that people who do not work hard get a free house?

Do you libs just HATE my simple un-answerable questions?

Can you direct me to a link about what black box is? Interesting.

Once everyone has a place to live, you can buy as many houses as you want. Why would anyone care about that? Collect all the houses you want AS LONG AS there is no one standing on the street in the rain in front of your empty house. 😆

EDIT: Don't you hate it when I give you a simple, straight answer to your "unanswerable" questions? You have nothing to do after. 😆

You seem to be saying that I am affined to these people that I do not even know, that I have some duty to them regarding their housing?
Please elaborate, and please, without the dogma of socialism,,,,it will fall on deaf ears. You know, practical common sense.
eg, I am moving out of an apartment today, buying my first home. Saved up, don't you know.. The guy in the apt next door, does not work, a bum, no income, pays no taxes. What would be a perfect situation in your world regarding houses in this case?

Like, should my home be free, or should he pay for his? Very confusing, you libs. You do not close your posts. You just throw polyanna comments out there.

Problem with giving homeless people places to live is the pathological nature that made them homeless to begin with generally causes them to destroy every place they live, making them uninhabitable after they've lived in them for a few months.
They are not the best tenants.

Zoning and NIMBY's and city planning boards got rid of group and/or boarding homes which work very well even today, but which were much more common back in the 1940's. 😆

5-6 people in a house generates enough SS/Medicaid revenue to have a caretaker who cooks, manages people's medications, and takes care of day-to-day admin work. Once people are back on their feet, they can move on.

Or would. If there were not tax incentive to tear down all low-cost housing to put up "luxury condominiums." 😆

The guy next to you is bipolar and hears voices that tell him to harm himself. He can't work because he can't focus on tasks. The voices scream at him and interfere with what actual people are telling him. So he gets confused with all the noise in his head.

That doesn't mean he is a bum. He has a condition. Be glad you don't have it. 🙂

SS/Medicaid/SNAP food benefits given to homeless people isn't revenue, it's tax $$$.
Having 6 of them in a home would be a nightmare, they'd just be drunk and drug addled and at each other's throats trying to rip each other off.

Not from what I've seen. How many group homes have you visited in your area? 😆

EDIT: You said you were in Arizona. Phoenix?

This post, and the one just above it, are not realistic. Sure, there may be 12 bums in the apt complex, and then there may be a guy in need as you suggest. This in no way negates my point which is to Not support those who will not help themselves. Note that Medicaid is tightening up with that very concept (it is not just me talking).....They want able bodied people to work, provide for themselves, in order to qualify. Libs want free stuff no matter what you are.
And your post about 5-6 people living together, all just perfectly maintained and organized, is about as pollyanna as it gets on the Forum.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Willful ignorance.

Unless you have visited a group home lately, shut up. 😆

People on Medicaid have no way to afford health insurance. Some may work, but they don't earn enough to pay for food, clothing and shelter AND health insurance. They work jobs that don't provide health insurance 'as a privilege' for working. They are too young to claim Medicare.

Making them suffer in sickness just reduces the job pool further - at a time when you are deporting many of the OTHER workers who work at low-paid, menial labor.

You don't know what the ACTUAL FU** you are doing, do you? 😆

No. i don't, you got me. Just genralizing about things are never as they seem. I am sure you have a point of a workable situation. I AM familiar with the Union Mission in various cities where true help is needed. I am seeing what you are writing about as a given, that 5 people get together and pool resources. Commonplace. No problem with that, of course. So you are stating a natural , inventive, way of living for people supporting themselves, More power to 'em.
So, if that is all ggoing on in a million places, the efforts of society might better be concentrated where they are needed. But these People who are self-reliant? Support themselves? Productive? Nothing to write about here. If you are zeroing in on insurance, these 5 people need to visit a supplemental insurance agent for suggestions of the best program for the 5 of them.
Good information, though.
