Nixon's AG resigned rather than do what he was told.....fire Cox.  At that point Nixon lost it all.

He lost because he lost the Repubs in Congress and the Repub base.

Now Democrats are a loyal bunch, far more than Repubs, but sooner or later Hillary will go too far.

Now we learn that Hillary had her housekeeper handle classified fax's....

I agree fully with your statement that per the Constitution, the president has every right to remove the FBI director -- particularly for due cause, as would be the case here.

Comey needs to go. Not only is what he did last week totally inexcusable, the wrong has been further compounded over the last nine days by the continuous sound of crickets chirping that's been coming from his office, while damaging leaks of willful misinformation about a non-existent investigation of the Clinton Foundation emanated from the FBI's New York office.

This is how democracies are killed off in other countries. We should no further tolerate the deplorable conduct of Director Comey and his agents, than we should blithely accept similar 11th-hour malicious pronouncements from the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon about presidential nominees.

President Obama ought to bounce that jackass out the front door of the Hoover Bldg. on his a$$, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch should also make a very public example of those agents who so wantonly abused their positions in an unethical effort to swing an election.

125,000 a year is not unstable employment

health care premiums for John & I are being increased from $946/month to $1,552 a month & our total deductible now increased by $4000 to $13,100 a year before even receiving any benefits.

And around $26000 premiums and deductible is about 25% of after tax income.

What the insurance pays is different from plan to plan. Many plans pay for doctor visits, outpatient tests/surgeries with only a modest co pay. However, these co pays, and the monthly premium may not count toward the deductible.

You actually need to be a Philadelphia Lawyer to understand what is "is." Or else have the services of one.

So what this boils down to is this....Keep your health needs modest and the $12,000 premium and some modest co pays covers. Have a more serious problems and you'll wind up paying around $26,000....Toss in loss of income due to being sick and you have one of, if not the #1, reason for bankruptcy.

Which is silly. Isn't insurance suppose to cover big problems??

The answer is that years ago the various companies got into a contest to see who could cover everything and the health care industry
lost any control over what they could charge. At the same time drugs, procedures, and equipment/devices have improved because of the rewards. Longer lives means more needs. People who died of high blood pressure at 60 now die at 85 of cancer after a long, and expensive, battle.

And now we have the insurance companies revolting and leaving and/or increasing prices to cover costs.

The problem is that nobody wants to pay. Obamacare shifted most of the costs of some of the people to someone else.

Many supporters of a single pay system support it because they think the "government" should pay for their healthcare. Many opponents oppose it because they think they're paying enough with their own taxes and health insurance costs.

It is a "fairness" issue.
