And you missed the part where I said I buy insurance on my own, because I started a business. I can categorically say this law is a disaster for people starting a business.
There is no employer contribution because I am self employed and founded a startup last year. This is pretty funny if you saw the slashdot article last week, on how great this law is for people involved in startups. I am just besides myself with laughter right now.
Have you even applied for enrollment on the exchange? If you have, you will be the only person other than myself that I know of. I'm sick and tired of people saying how great this law is for people that need to use the exchange. It just completely fucked my healthcare. Completely. Until you have enrolled, shut your fucking face.
Yes, it is silly. It is also reality. The ACA compliant plans, actually are slightly worse than what I have now, with higher yearly caps on out of pocket expenses. I am single male and childless. Why do I have to buy maternity care coverage?
I don't have medical needs. I just happen to be youngish, healthy, and buy my own insurance. My $165 current insurance, is not the cheapest, it is actually a top tier plan from my insurer and includes prescription drug coverage (of which I dont need currently). To reiterate, I am not eligible to use the exchange. I can't even shop for plans on it or get quotes. My application was denied, If I want susidized insurance, I am required to enroll in medicaid.
How does one go from having top notch insurance for $165 a month, to being forced to enroll in medicaid? I will say it again, fuck anyone who thinks this law is a good thing.
I buy individual insurance for $165 a month. That is with a $500 deductible, and 0% coinsurance. My plan will be illegal on jan 1st, because it does not cover maternity care amongst other things. My plan is the equivalent of a platinum plan on the exchange. I just got quotes for a platinum plan with the same deductible, and quotes ranged from $420-$700 a month. Fuck you, and everyone else who thinks this law is a good thing. It just destroyed my ability to buy insurance. BTW, I am not even eligible to use the exchange. I applied, and my application was denied because my income was too low. I was told my only options for healthcare, was to enroll in medicaid or buy insurance on my own outside the exchange. It just so happens my income is very low right now, because I am starting a business and living off a capital loan.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen on this site. Not a single republican voted for the individual mandate, and had zero input on writing this bill.
That's nice. I see you listed a bunch of sales flyers on construction costs produced by the wind industry, but how much does the consumer have to pay for the energy? The unsubsidized prices would be nice, because we all end up paying for the subsidies anyway.
I'm not looking for technical data, the technical aspects and obstacles or pretty well understood. I've looked at lots of economic data, and I have never seen wind or solar portrayed as cheaper than coal or gas. So I'm wondering where you got your data to make that claim.
Spain spent billions on green subsidies, and is on the verge of bankruptcy. As it turns out, Europe has now spent billions on Spain's green subsidies, and Spain's green economy is going bankrupt. Those billions would be kind of useful now, wouldn't they?

I am flabbergasted by people's ability to forget things in the age of the internet.

I have the Dean 500 plan, with prescription rider. Go ahead and research to your heart's content.

Well said.
Because there was not enough support from Democrats to pass a single-payer bill.
Basically, I am saying Fuck Obama. Every promise that he made was broken in my case. Every single one.
My employer is me.

If you store more thermal energy, then there's less available for use during the day.
Too busy.
I can't buy a textbook, I'm too looking for the data that shows wind and solar are cheaper to produce than coal and gas.
Yes it has. Apparently we have figured out how create an alternate reality where wishes and dreams come true.

Maybe PRI will be acceptable?

Way to go!
I'm not normally one of those people, but I think this needs a citation. And not a Cessna, or a Chevrolet.
