oh, how clever...
joey, i'm sorry that you're upset that they are trying to find ways to get more people coverage. that people who couldn't get insurance now will be able to. it'll be ok, really. keep in mind that your ancestors were against social security, medicare, and unemployment insurance. the country survived their implementation, it'll survive this too. |

When fantasy becomes reality it isn't always pretty. We have luxury cars and economy cars, we have Morton's and McDonalds, we have mansions and apartments yet we're all supposed to have the same healthcare coverage with those who can't afford it paid for by the rest? When it was fantasy we all were going to save money because you know the uninsured were using the ER as primary care. Now we find out there are no savings just ever inflating costs. And some think it's just a bumpy start.

Both, one ordered the hit and the other is carrying it out. Just like the mafia.

At least in the above scenario your average gangbanger would participate. How many do you think will purchase coverage and have insurance when they turn up at the ER next year with gunshot wounds?

![]() if anyone is curious about why anything is included in the aca...they need just follow the money. does anyone really think that those who wrote obamacare actually give a damn about getting people care? or is it how to make more money? i think it's the latter. when people celebrated about all the new, 'free' stuff that would be mandated, i said nothing is free, it'll have to be paid for, and it'll be paid for thru premiums. does anyone really believe that the health insurers were going to take less profit because they suddenly got philanthropic?! if so, they're dreaming. the common-sensical law would have forced everyone onto the most basic care system, and people could have added what they wanted. but common sense doesn't have a lobby, while health insurance companies do. by being forced to take the unhealthy and those with pre-existing issues, they required a way to balance that on their books. the requirements that everyone buy, and that everyone buy more options is that way. less age brackets is another. the obese and smokers will pay more as well, since they tend to be more of a drain on the system. what gets me about smokers is how they bitch that they can't afford stuff, while spending 5-6 bucks or so (per pack!) a day on their habit. |

You know what is funny, you say the same **** election after election then slink away after a resounding defeat. I think holding the country hostage and willingly trying to push it into default trumps ACA by a wide wide margin.

the main reason why repubs tried so hard to get the aca quashed-they are afraid once people are in it, using it, they'll like it. this is the same party that fought social security tooth and nail. unemployment insurance as well. funny, they didn't cause the ruination of this country. i wonder if ss is a reason why the life expectancy rate increased here. i'll have to look it up. it's certainly not because of our current health care system, which ranks 37th on efficacy, and first in price. |

Don't look now but the Republicans, especially Ted Cruz, have been vindicated. This law is as bad as we were warned. Defunding it in hindsight looks like a good idea to the 5 million who have lost their plans. Whatever negative effects the shutdown had are now over. ObamaCare is the gift that keeps on giving - it continues to suck. It keeps getting worse for more and more people. It is far worse in magnitude. And, even if these two things were on par - the most recent event is the ObamaCare debacle. The Democrats have finally given themselves a poison pill. |
