Am I interpreting Vanilla correctly? If this scam is helping just one person, then the pain you feel in your checkbook is imaginary?

117. As a bystander - you should be more calm in this situation. You aren't coming off very well.
Try more listening... if you want to make a point, use the Socratic method - ask questions to get where you want (or you may learn something.)
The poster is paying MORE and s/he can't afford it. That's the bottom line here. With changes this big, some people will be hurt. It's unavoidable.
She certainly isn't coming off very well. "WHAT ABOUT THIS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND???"
I had some OFA drone post at me "It will be very affordable Karin. And it will be a huge success!!!!"
I felt like kicking some ass.
They keep ignoring this guy. He tries again:

158. I'm not sure what you think I'm implying.
All policies must now be compliant with the ACA regulations on costs and expenditures.
Listen, I'm a huge fan of the ACA, but this decision not to extend the affordability metric to families has me greatly troubled. It was clearly identified as a barrier to families getting health care, as they have been exempted from the personal mandate. I ask, why exempt these families rather than allowing them to participate in the exchanges? I think that's a fair question to ask. We're literally talking about millions of kids being intentionally left without access to health insurance. Families who do decide to continue coverage are going to be greatly stretched.
I worry that this could become a significant issue in future elections (i.e. "proof" that Democrats "don't really care" about middle class families).
You got that right.
There is so much squabbling on that thread about what's in the law, what's not, back and forth, arguing, contradicting. It's a cluster, no doubt about it.

135. Well, I've registered 3 times, with my 3 different emails (home, work and kid's)
... gone thru all the 'profile setup' bs, got to the 'success!' screen, got the validation email, clicked on the hyperlink and been told all three times that A USER PROFILE WITH THAT INFORMATION DOES NOT EXIST.
Yet when I try to create a 'new' profile using that same email address, I get an error that says 'A PROFILE WITH THAT EMAIL ADDRESS ALREADY EXISTS'.
And when I click on the 'forgot username' or 'forgot password' links, it tells me it's sending me an email to reset, but I never receive it.
Honestly, if it's this ****ing difficult just to set up, do they really think people are going to have any kind of confidence in the system actually working?
