Many people in America have been deeply poisoned -- for decades -- by lying health insurance companies.

Now Americans are paying more for just health care insurance than people in countries with "super high taxes" pay for ALL THEIR TAXES.

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents. “I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.” During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley. “They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."
