Why is fertility declining in the United States? #fertility #childcare #doctor
YouTube video by Dr. Zachary Rubin Why is fertility declining in the United States? #fertility #childcare #doctor

There is an easy fix for the declining birth rate here and it is immigration! These mental midgets have made it far too expensive for whites to have children and yet their solution is to subjugate all womens' uteri. Make it make sense please!

Americans are already experiencing a surge in health care prices this October:
In Idaho, a couple used to pay $50 a month for their health insurance premium. They recently received a letter from their health insurance company saying their premiums would be $400 a month if the enhanced tax credits are expanded, or more than $2,200 without.
In Georgia, most of the health care plans offered for 2026 have more than doubled their premiums, and in some cases, there has been an increase of $20,000 for the annual rate.
Marylanders are seeing their health premiums jump from $621 to $1,711 a month โ€” a $1,089 hike for the same plan.
In Nevada, premiums are jumping from $595 to $2,021 a month โ€” a $1,425 increase for the same plan.
A couple making $85,000 in New York will see their monthly premiums skyrocket from $642 to $1,754.
In Virginia, couples are seeing their premiums jump from $596 to $1,891 a month โ€” a $1,294 increase for the same plan.

Healthcare costs and premiums have already started surging.

The people in charge of the House, Senate, and Oval Office could stop this from happening AND reopen the government.

They could have avoided all of this in reconciliation, but they gave billionaires tax breaks instead.

that she found out that mom was eligible for hospice care and was contacting them to get Mom some more wrap around services. She also asked me if I would write an obituary for mom. Of course, I would be honored to do so. Now my hard work begins of writing about mom in the past tense while she's

that she loved her. She said - through tears - that she had spent an entire year saying "I love you" to mom and not hearing that back. And that she hasn't realized until that hard conversation with mom, just how much she missed just talking with mom, sharing her thoughts on anything.

I didn't rush to end the call. She was driving and I told her that I was sorry that she was shouldering most of this by herself lately, that I haven't been able to be there to help.

That's when she opened up about having that hard conversation with mom. She told me that she asked mom to tell her

heart should stop beating, would she want them to do chest compressions on her? Mom said no. And I confirmed that mom was a huge supporter of Jack Kavorkian's cause of assisted suicide. So her answers are consistent with what I know of mom from her past history.

she asked her if she knew what "life support" meant and to explain it to her in her own words. Mom responded, "Yes. It's when a machine does the breathing for you." Satisfied that she understood the question she accepted mom's answer that no, she would not want that.

She also asked mom if her

My little sister Laura just called me to talk about mom. She said that during her last visit with mom at the hospital, she had a conversation with mom who was lucid at the time, about her advanced directives. She asked mom if she should stop breathing, would she want to be put on life support? Then
