  1. Re:Furloughed workers on "War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov · · Score: 1

    Can I have some of what you're smoking? How did you get to the planet you're living on? My insurance will increase from 165$ to 451$ with a 500$ higher deductible, and a higher yearly cap on out of pocket expenses. It's the same insurance company. It is the only company that offers exchange insurance in my county. On ehealthinsurance.com I have 101 choices for insurance that starts this year, on the exchange I have 9 choices for insurance that starts next year. What part of that do you not understand? I don't care what foxnews says. I don't care what fact checkers say. They are wrong. If I want a high deductible plan, bronze level, the premium is 255$, my current insurance is better than the platinum level plans available.

    For me it's 165$ to 451$, and the coverage is slightly worse.

    I don't need a fact checker or foxnews to tell me that this law destroyed my ability to get quality affordable healthcare. Wake up, idiot, and listen to what people directly affected by this law are saying rather than the people that are telling you how to think.

    Stop telling me my good insurance is bad. It is better than anything I can get on the exchange. I'm sick and tired of ACA supporters living in denial of the fact that this law is hurting a lot of people.

    That's a silly table. They just added in government departments, (like NASA and the State Department) until they could get the number over a trillion. After you find the link with google, it's imp;ortnat to process the information.

    I currently can afford health insurance that I buy individually. When my policy premium goes up 259% next year I won't be able to afford it.

    Yet, under one method my health insurance is good and affordable. Under the other scenario my insurance costs 259% more and has higher deductibles and out of pocket costs.

    Health insurance is commerce. Unless you require insurers to each operate only in a single state, it's interstate commerce.

    I opposed it from the start. Me and many others pointed out the many faults. Now that the lies are falling apart and the faults are coming to fruition, you expect me to work to fix it? The time for that was before the law was passed. Screw you.

    What country is this Middle East you speak of? And Russia?

    "The Constitution of the Russian Federation provides all citizens right to free healthcare under Mandatory Medical Insurance in 1996. However, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the health of the Russian population has declined considerably as a result of social, economic, and lifestyle changes.[1] In 2008, 621,000 doctors and 1.3 million nurses were employed in Russian healthcare. The number of doctors per 10,000 people was 43.8, but only 12.1 in rural areas. The number of general practitioners as a share of the total number of doctors was 1.26 percent."

    Not paranoid at all. The trend in recent years has been towards socialism, and as a result we have lost freedoms. Maybe I look like a moron, but at least I can say I'm not an ignorant moron.

    History shows that the more socialist a country is, the more authoritarian it is as well. Socialism is a system that must be imposed, authoritarianism is the vehicle that accomplishes that.
