Trump to order overhaul of kidney disease program, improve access to transplantsPresident Trump is directing government to revamp the nation's care for kidney disease; aims to allow more people whose kidneys fail to have a chance at early transplants and home dialysis. President Trump👍👍👍👍 Medicare pics up the cost of transplant. They also cover the first 2 years of care. Perhaps he is trying to limit cost to Medicare. Typical. I know this from personal experience. Meds are 1500 a month. The insurance companies are losing money !

IRS data: Rich Americans received bigger tax refunds under Trump’s new tax lawSome new data on where the cuts went: Taxpayers earning $250,000 to $500,000 were refunded $14.6 billion this year versus $10.6 billion last year So let’s get to the bottom of this, what was their effective tax rate for those same years? This is a misleading skew of the fact that upper middle class people’s taxes went down no more by percentage than middle and lower middle class. “Refunded” is very misleading. Many in the upper tax brackets paid in more estimated taxes than necessary given the uncertainty due to lack of guidance by the IRS. The analysis should be the amount of tax actually paid.
