Hear on CNN just now: 11 to 15 million Americans could be gettting noticed that their insurance policy is dropped/no longer available. - Inigo Oct 29, 09:38 22
- According to Ezra Klein, approximately 15 million people buy their health insurance. - ty97 Oct 29, 09:43 17
  - (that's actually Sarah Kliff, but it's still Wonkblog) -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 09:48 5
    - Here is the perfect quote from the column. - David Oct 29, 09:52 4
      - It's a great point, but it doesn't address the mislead on "If you like your insurance, you can keep it". - ty97 Oct 29, 09:54 3
        
        The column itself does. "It's a feature, not a bug." I just didn't quote that part. -- nm - David Oct 29, 10:01 1
        
        Precisely. It's a feature. Which directly contradicts the President's repeated statemented that you could keep your insurance. - ty97 Oct 29, 10:04
        
        Yes, this was the point of the CNN piece. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 09:56
  - But this flies in the face of Obama's repeated comments that if you liked your insurance, you could keep it. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:45 10
    - Absolutely. Which the article mentions -- Obama and the Dems must have known this, so why keep saying it? -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 09:49 6
      - I think they assumed people with non-compliant policies weren't happy with them. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 10:08 1
        
        right. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 10:10
      - Becuase they are inept. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:51 3
        
        I don't but that here. They weren't ignorant about what would happen. - ty97 Oct 29, 09:53 2
        
        I was giving the benefit of the doubt between incompetence and lying. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 10:00 1
        
        In politics, always go with the lying. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 10:05
    - I think he was banking on the ire being directed at the insurance companies. -- nm - nubby Oct 29, 09:47 2
      - If so, that's another mistake he's made - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:51
      - he definitely banked wrong then -- nm - Jovian Oct 29, 09:50

- I kind of get what he's saying, but you've got to have some intelligence as a legislator. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 09:31 4
  - I totally get what he's saying, but he's valuing constituent opinion over doing what's right. - mara Oct 29, 10:10
  - really??? -- nm - Dubya Oct 29, 09:43
  - "a representative owes the People not only his industry, but his judgment, and he betrays them if he sacrifices it to their opinion." -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 09:33
  - Exactly. -- nm - ♠hellSpawn♠ Oct 29, 09:32

  - No, because no one in the US cares about the NBA -- nm - MDH Oct 29, 09:36
  - [deleted] 3
    - Plus before the season even starts. There are cases where you see a team give up, but they usually at least *try* first. -- nm - ♠hellSpawn♠ Oct 29, 09:37
    - maybe, but I think most people know the NBA is shady as hell. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 09:35 1

- I'm pretty sure if I started a business in a field I wasn't familiar with and then had a big store start up nearby, I'd likely fail as well. -- nm - Qale Oct 29, 09:37 1
  - Stupid Big-box Gayporium. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 09:59

  - It's to the benefit of these politicians to keep their constituents poor and uninformed. It's horrible. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 29, 09:26
  - I wonder if the subject will read that and research the matter any. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:19
- I'm reminded of the book "What's the Matter with Kansas?" -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 29, 09:13 3

LIR: I agree with spamlet. Unless you need the macbook they just announced, go to their outlet. I've bought plenty of stuff from that and haven't - kilbooooo Oct 29, 09:02 8
- I've had a lot of problems with dying discs, so I'd prefer a flash drive. - nubby Oct 29, 09:07 7
  - apple gives dicsounts to almost every university staff, student, prof. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 29, 09:36
  - flash is way faster too. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 09:11
  - FWIW, you can replace the hard drives but not the flash memory. - spamlet Oct 29, 09:11 4
    - My current MacBook works fine, but its third disc just died. - nubby Oct 29, 09:17 3
      - But what I'm saying is that if the flash has an issue, you can't do anything with it. It's new computer time. - spamlet Oct 29, 09:19 2
        
        True, but it's less likely to have issues in the first place, from what I've read. -- nm - nubby Oct 29, 09:20 1
        
        that's right. I'm never going to own another old-fashioned hd computer again. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 09:24
