Lanhee Chen: Even conservatives have reasons to like Obamacare

What happened to all those dollars the boomers paid in premium the last 40 years, when they were not signifigantly getting services?

Its the insurance companies that didn't plan, not the boomers. Originally Posted by Submodo

They "paid in" for 40 years of current coverage, not for expected future post-retirement coverage.

Jackie....what was needed was something to bend the cost curve. Not sure if Obamacare fixed that but to say nothing was wrong with the old system just is not true. Originally Posted by WTF

Nice to see you are reliving your high school cheerleader days. Do you still have your bobby socks and pom poms?

I believe yinz is plural, not singular:

We don't want our Texas hobbyists to be learning and speaking improper Pittsburghese, do we?

As for the insults, they are de rigueur here. "When in Rome..."

lusty....
when I said yinz I was referring to all yinz who trade insults....left and right....
"insults are de rigueur"....they don't have to be....although I think yinz enjoy the insults more than the actual posts....
carry on....it's always fun to read....

Rather than try and make an intelligent point, you just spew venom, vitriol and generally juvenile horseshit all over the board.

You're beginning to get it... asshole!

When you're too stupid to respond, make a pig noise! Eccie evidently pays you based on the sheer quantity of your insults. How many DOTY awards have you won?

Unlike you, I try to intersperse my insults with facts, logic and intelligible arguments. It's not my fault if you can't tell the difference between a well-crafted argument and an insult. I don't use insults to deflect or evade or hide behind either. I use them to pillory douchebags like you for deflecting, evading and hiding all the time.

Get it, Dipshit Emeritus?

extremely funny....and dumb.........
