- Seems like insurance company profiteering. -- nm - nubby Oct 29, 11:17 1
  - yeah, and there is this as well. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 11:17
- One face. There are people here on this board who can now afford (and obtain) health insurance, when they previously couldn't. -- nm - Roger More Oct 29, 11:14 30
  - The problem is the ACA was sold on the fact that nothing would change for those who already had coverage. - Inigo Oct 29, 11:18 19
    - That's only a problem for people who rely on sound bite reporting -- nm - con_carne Oct 29, 11:25 3
      - It's not sound bite reporting. The President reiterated it in his last speech. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 11:26 2
        
        Then isn't your problem with the President, not the law? -- nm - con_carne Oct 29, 11:28 1
        
        We didn't know what the law would start. So, the only thing really to be done was to trust what the lawmakers said was true. - Inigo Oct 29, 11:33

        I support the ACA, and I heard it repeatedly. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 11:27 1

    - I'd tweak that a little. No one said premiums wouldn't change, just that you could keep your plan. - ty97 Oct 29, 11:19 8
      - Here's what cracks me up about some of this. My premiums have gone up every year for like 5 years now. - Jim Oct 29, 11:22 7
        
        It's the amount of premiums going up, and the percentage they're going up that's the issue. - Inigo Oct 29, 11:36 2
        
        Mine went up ludicrously for a few years in a row a few years ago, then not at all for the past two years and minimally this year. - Kim Pine Oct 29, 11:42 1
        
        The anedotal evidence I've seen says your IM is just not true at all. - Inigo Oct 29, 11:46
        
        absolutely this. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 11:35 1
        
        (I mean, there are real increases due to ACA for some people. But it's also convenient to blame ACA for all increases) -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 11:35
        
        Absolutely. -- nm - pmb Oct 29, 11:33
        
        Exactly this. -- nm - TWuG Oct 29, 11:26
    - and for most people, it didn't. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:19
  - but f*ck all of them, this negatively impacts MEEEEEEEEE!!! - znufrii Oct 29, 11:16 3
    - I don't expect the people paying significantly more to be happy. I doubt I'll be thrilled when I see my premiums for this year. - ty97 Oct 29, 11:21 2

      - Well said re: wiring. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 29, 11:22
  - there are people who the ACA is going to be fantastic for. - groiny Oct 29, 11:16 3

      - Wait, now it's okay to use the "both sides" argument? ;) - Inigo Oct 29, 11:21 1

    - I think it's inarguable that there was a sales job. But at the same time, this is anecdote about the ACA's effectiveness, not data. -- nm - Roger More Oct 29, 11:44
- That's powerful and situations like these should be addressed. Certainly, it's not a reasonable scenario. - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 29, 11:14
- Any article like this that does not include the person's income if meaningless to me. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 11:12

  - Honestly...my self can't keep handling these close games. We need a Cards blow out in Game 6... - Jim Oct 29, 11:20 1

crash davis, if we ever play Halo again, I am going to teabag the shit out of you. - groiny Oct 29, 11:04 8

- Why'd you stop playing Borderlands? -- nm - David Oct 29, 11:08 6
  - and I even bought 2 used games, and have not even fired them up. - groiny Oct 29, 11:13
  - I have not touched the Xbox in at least 3 weeks. - groiny Oct 29, 11:10 4
    - Okay, I guess that's been your daughter. -- nm - David Oct 29, 11:13 3
      - yeah, she has been playing quite a bit. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 11:13 2
        
        I bet she can play Borderlands better than you. She's a smart kid. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 11:19 1
        
        But comparing to groiny, the smart bar is pretty low. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 11:39

  - SFEK 's a lot of stuff we need that we don't get because the side against it is more motivated to call their Congressman -- nm - con_carne Oct 29, 11:10
- Yes we do. It's what I wanted from the start but the Dems never had the balls to really consider it. - Krusty Oct 29, 11:09
- Probably. This system could work. It just wasn't very well thought out or implemented so far. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 11:06
- Absolutely, but we won't see that in my lifetime. 2010 was our hope to pass it and the Dems pussed out. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 11:05 8
  - considering what they were up against, I'm surpised they got anything passed, so I'll take it. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:07 7
    - They are up against a filibuster-proof majority. What a terrible obstacle. - ty97 Oct 29, 11:08 6
      - if only all the Dems agreed on which path was preferable, sure - znufrii Oct 29, 11:15 1

      - Well, they were up against the insurance industry and their constituents, too. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 11:11
      - Seriously. They lack the balls to go for the big programs these days. -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 11:10 2
        
        you have to have consensus first, and with the Blue Dogs still a formidable force in the caucus at the time, that wasn't happening. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:19 1
        
        You're right and they did get some big things passed along the way. -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 11:23
