Based on a lie...

You never disappoint me bt. You're a rock!

So....you were drafted huh?

Was that before "Don't ask, don't tell"? Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

FYI, I was on active duty for a few days short of 4 years (but who's counting). Draw your own conclusions!

Back in the early 70's, "don't ask, don't tell" was not in the vocabulary. That specific language wasn't introduced for another 20+ years, or so! (but who's counting, part 2).

What did you believe you were fighting for?

It was a different world back then and I would respectfully like to hear your thoughts. Did you leave disillusioned like others did? Were you like John Kerry?

This isn't a set up, I promise.

I guess you missed the earlier post. Of the 5,6, or 7 (your choice) million who have enrolled 20% haven't paid (so no insurance for them) and 80% of those who enrolled already had insurance so the final result is less than 1 million people without health insurance signed up and PAID. What was the goal? Insure the 35 to 40 million Americans who don't have health insurance. At this point even an idiot should be able to spot the problem with the program and we haven't gotten into the discussion about immortals, the aged, or subsidies. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

How do you know 20% haven't paid? You don't, it's made-up bullshit. And, if it's not, could that number change in 7 days? And, if it doesn't, then they ain't got any insurance, do they? So, it's on your side of the ridiculous ledger that you insist on keeping regarding your absurd and neverending opposition to the effort to try to make sure as many people as possible get to see a doctor or other healthcare provider when they need to.

Christ, I can't believe you're so fuckin' stupid that you can't take your own argument to its logical conclusion when it so obviously benefits you. I can just see your dunce-like brow furrowing up as you read this paragraph and attempt to amp up the wattage in that 25 watt bulb of yours that masquerades as a brain.

So, assuming we're all in agreement that every human being should have access to reasonable health care.....what is your suggestion

Let's get things in accurate perspective. If you define working the way that Amtrak and the Post Office define working, then yes ACA is working. A billion dollars and 3-1/2 years to cobble together an IT system that doesn't work to this day. Thousands of exemptions for labor unions, mini-meds, congressional staffers, and God knows who else. The delays are so egregious that Sibelius won't even make official announcements, choosing to slip them into e-mails and memos issued on Friday to cause least political damage. The Justice Department should have already gone after HHS for violating the "law" for abrogations to numerous to list. The litigation over illegal state subsidies will blow the whole thing sky high. Only the government would try to improve health care by messing with health care underwriting. Democrats knew that no sane populace would stomach outright socialized medicine. Hilary's foray into socialized medicine with Ira Magaziner's inept help put her career back 20 years. Romneycare is a financial wreck. So what did Harry and Joe do? They coopted the insurance industry. It will be a disaster of the first rank, like Medicare/Medicaid, but will likely be propped up by an endless river of printed cash. That's how the government and delusional progressive/socialists define working. Originally Posted by trident60

Completely laughable bullshit.

"According to a new CNN survey of insurers, around one in five people who selected a plan on the state or federal health exchanges have yet to pay their first month’s premiums. That means their policies will likely be cancelled and they will be left without health coverage."

There you go Timmie, CNN and the insurance companies are my source.

You watch CNN ?

JD is an idiot what else can you expect?

And your point is? This is statistical analysis, it still works unless you can point to a game changer.

So how would it still work if the numbers are wrong?
