I did the math on 1941, which is what you typed below. If that was a
mistype, as sometimes happens to any of us, then it appears that what
you intended to type would give the more reasonable service age of 18.
That would make more sense.

I'd be curious to see what a state would actually do with a half million
dollars contributed to their state treasury's general fund. I suppose
if they were already intending to sue the federal government, you are
helping them indirectly as part of the larger budget picture, and not
attempting to obtain inappropriate personal gain or undue influence. No
guarantees, however, as you might not be able to set up a conditional
trust fund for the state, like you might do for your family members.

Thank you for the reply, and clarifications.

And the problem with your line of reasoning is that the evidence
doesn't support you -- every other developed democracy and Singapore
have lower health care costs than we do, despite the much higher
levels of socialism in their health systems. IOW countries like
France and Germany, whose economies are dragged down by having way too
much socialism in general, would actually be worse off if their health
care systems were more free market.

And what is that private health insurance system you said covers you
and has lower premiums and better benefits than Medicare? You've
dodged that question several times, probably because you didn't tell
the truth about it.

Only a member of The Collective would call him a looter.

China is proof that free markets don't require freedom. Either you're
kidding, or you have no idea what a brutal dictatorship Communist
China really is.

In no ways have they already done that, and even when they become the
largest economy, in about 10-20 years, the average Chinese will be
much less affluent than the average American. Also despite the US
having only 1/5 as many people, we're still the third largest nation
in the world, our population isn't shrinking (thanks to immigrants),
we have 15-17 of the best 20 universities, and it's easier to raise
capital for new businesses here than about anywhere else.

Why did you switch to Medicare Advantage when you said you had private
coverage that was both better and cheaper than regular Medicare? As
you know, Medicare Advantage isn't really a private plan because tax
money pays for it, and it's not cheaper but actually costs $100 more a
month per participant than regular Medicare costs.
