  - *likes this post with extreme prejudice -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 11:18

      - My paper had full coverage with explanations, etc. on Sunday. With that said, it should have been done sooner, much sooner. - Kim Pine Oct 2, 11:38
      - I was down in Florida earlier this week and was impressed that the local news was doing a full half hour show devoted to explaining Obamacare. - pmb Oct 2, 11:29
      - Follow Bill Moyers on Facebook. He's always got good coverage on important topics, even if he's not always the one writing it - Mr. Havens Oct 2, 11:22
      - in defense of the news I haven't been doing a good job of catching everything (anything?) the last few weeks. - Mel Profit Oct 2, 11:20 4
        
        I was home sick yesterday, had CNN and Fox on most of the time I was on the couch, and still don't understand the points -- nm - Max Oct 2, 11:21 3
        
        well, I can see your first problem right away... -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 11:21 2

- No - Kim Pine Oct 2, 11:12 2
  - excellent, you have walked right into my trap of educating me. -- nm - Max Oct 2, 11:14
  - (*any* fact checking organization) -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 11:13
- Serious question...is that Exec and Congressional exemption a real thing? - Jim Oct 2, 11:12 4
  - my understanding is that the ACA requires them to purchase from exchanges, but the government would then provide employer subsidies for them to do so - znufrii Oct 2, 11:15
  - I don't know. I was kind of hoping poll responses would provide some information for me. -- nm - Max Oct 2, 11:13
  - No. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 11:12 1
    - That's what I thought, but there's been so much talk about it, I was thinking I was wrong. -- nm - Jim Oct 2, 11:14
- Yep. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 11:11
