For every person who is employed, there can be several people insured through that person's job, not just the person who got the job. Years ago, I had 5 people insured because of my job. Many who have recently become employed, or re-employed, may have family members that are now insured because of that one job. My youngest son has not had health insurance since he moved out of the house years ago. Due to a recent promotion, he now enjoys healthcare coverage as a benefit of his new position. My oldest son recently took a new job in his same career field, but this one not only paid more, it came with a benefit package that included health insurance, where his old job did not. Neither of my son's situations have had any effect on the unemployment rate, but they are now both insured. Both of the above examples show that the percentage of people recently employed or re-employed may not equal the percentage of people no longer uninsured.

Remember, pollsters are the ones who stated that Trump didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning the election! Is it possible that the reduced unemployment rate has anything to do with more people being insured? The number of uninsured has nothing to do with the number of people on Obamacare. Obamacare is still failing and will collapse if not replaced. It was designed to do so, so that single payer (government healthcare) could be brought in. No, thank you! The Veterans Administration is a prime example of what government healthcare would be.

You are delusional! Obamacare is falling apart. It has NEVER reached anywhere near the number of enrolled that they claimed it would. Countless insurance companies have distanced themselves from it. Every year, the premiums increase while the coverage decreases, well all except those things required that I NEVER NEEDED COVERAGE FOR! It is nothing but a scam, a wealth redistribution scam! MILLIONS of people lost insurance plans that they already had, plans that worked for them. In FACT, number-wise, over half of the number of those currently enrolled are those who "couldn't keep their plan"! I don't care how much lipstick you put on this pig, it's still a PIG!!!

Swamp Queen? She sat in front of the TV most of the evening, but I think she has gone to bed.......

Most? MOST people had insurance before this monstrosity called Obamacare became law. I'm retired and under age 65. I pay my premiums out of pocket, over $15,000/year. That only covers 3 visits to a doctor annually, covers very little for an ER visit, and only covers basic, generic medications. One med I am on costs me $5,000/year. Before Obamacare, my premiums were under $1000/month, the deductible was 1/3rd what it is now and it covered way more. Virtually everything the liberals have told us about Obamacare has been a lie!

Thanks, guys, I'm glad you enjoyed them. (I fixed the "B-86" typo). I was out today shooting apparatus, but didn't run across any Macks. They are still out there and I am sure I'll add more in time. That Jasper Aerialscope is one I just photographed in April.

This will be my last post, until I find more Mack Fire Apparatus to photograph. I hope you have enjoyed seeing them as much as I enjoyed photographing them! Truck 1, Jasper, TN 1971 Mack CF 0/0/75' Aerialscope #CF685FAP-1249 x-Bay Shore, NY
