The ACA Is Getting The Hell Beat Out Of It In The Press

It's as if they are rooting for it to fail. I don't know what the solution is how it will turn out but there is no going back now.

Lots of nations have the individual mandate system and it seems to work fine.

Took them long enough, I think they realized that they couldn't cover it up anymore.

1. It's a concerted effort. It's their way of telling us not to vote for another Black person

for president again (because they cain't get nuthin' good done), and to boost the narrative that "Big Gov't isn't the solution but the problem".

Corporate America have few fears, but one big one is the Federal Gov't itself. It is the only entity with the unlimited resources and power to curb their greed and even take them down piece by piece.

Because despite the money most Democrats get to run for office from these corporations, the two Parties are still very different. The sums that the Democratic Party receives from Corporate America pale in comparison to the money Republicans get. Democrats do have a Party platform Corporate America does not like: Democrats fight for policies that benefit the majority of American people - from the poorest to the wealthiest - as opposed to the policies of the AlwaysWrongRight that fight for and benefit exclusively Corporate America.

We knew this was coming, if you don't like 0bamacare it's because the president is black. Never mind that losing your coverage and being stuck with a plan that is worse than the one you had all for a higher cost is hurting you, it's all about the color of the president's skin.  :banghead:

7. I think curiosity will kill, not the cat this time, but the media madness...

I think people will want to see for themselves. People are desperate, and desperate people don't let the media make their decisions for them.

The problem is, when people do see for themselves they are told they are too stupid to understand that what they had was crappy and how much better the new plans are. My God this is like trying to tell people that new coke tasted much better than classic coke and therefore it has been decided for you, you will drink new coke and like it. You know what's sad about using that analogy? More people were up in arms about new coke then there will be over 0bamacare.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I signed up yesterday. Got everything done on the site in less than 20 minutes, verification and everything, was enrolled in no time flat.
 
Now, all I have to do is figure out which one of the plans my doctors are in network on.
 
All of the Humana sites are crashing when I try to do a Doctor lookup on them, but that's on Humana, not ACA.

While I myself have not been able to sign up, my wife Morgan Fairchild did yesterday. It took her less than 20 seconds and she saved over 3000% with much better coverage.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Really?

Because a lot of white 1-percenters voted for it and I want them sent packing with absolute racial equality.

The ACA should have been beaten to death in congress....but the dimwits weren't going to allow that fight.

Those are all crappy plans that the people who have them are way too stupid to realize how bad they are. Besides this whole thing is the repukes fault, they didn't do anything to help make this better and it was all based on Romneycare. So see the democrats are blameless as usual.

Really? How much do you DUmbasses want to bet the Haley appointee Tim Scott will be elected to the Senate when his term is up? It has nothing to do with "electing a black president". It has something to do with electing a ****ing Marxist Democrat. It's as if you stupid morons think we'd be all happy with a Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, etc., doing the same damn thing. Obama has been a God-send to you fools. KNOWING that you can't debate your way out of a paper bag with facts, hence why DU is a conservative-free zone (or is it?  :whistling: ) , having a black President lets you blame all opposition on racism. Sorry clowns, it doesn't work anymore.

Tim Scott....at least I think I have one good senator I think I can trust to look out for my and the country's best interest.

What's in the best interest of the country is what's also in my best interest...and is definitely not the way DUmmies see it.

I really don't understand why you DUmmies just can't step back do a little research and look at things objectively for just one time in your life.

Big Gov't ****s up everything they touch.  They are inefficient and blotted with bureaucracy all while short circuiting the free market.

-Amtrack has not ever had a positive budget and is over a Billion in debt.  I pulled their 2013 budget and have never seen so many negatives in a budget.

Amtrak Budget

-USPS After running modest profits from FY2004 through FY2006, the USPS lost $25.4 billion between FY2007 and FY2011.

USPS Financial Difficulties

-Military, even though we need it it is such a mess of of bureaucracy and a black hole for money.  See the $640 toliet seats and $7500 coffee makers that the POGO uncovered in the 80's.

There are many more but I think you DUmmies should get the point.
