it is fascinating how generally intelligent people can come up with the same common sense answers based on the data provided to them. "8 million people signed up!" yeah ok, and how many paid? how many got pushed into medicaid? without those numbers, the 1st number is pointless. Anyone with any shed of intelligence could tell you so
except for the enrollment numbers are a lie, You know how I know? because I know a bunch of people who signed up a bunch of times, with no intention of actually getting health care in the end. You cant base things off front end numbers, you need to base things off back end numbers, and thats something we dont have, thats what this article is about!
and who are you to make that decision? Some of us were happy with the plans you call crap. I thought if we liked our plans we could keep them, not if you like our plans we can keep them
Also you need to take into account the huge deductibles that most plans have now. Why am i, a healthy young person going to pay 100 bucks a month* for a plan that doesnt cover anything until I spend 10K when I spend maybe 3-500 a year in health related expenses? it doesnt make sense to do that.
the ONLY people who are saying the ACA is going well are talking heads
mainly because it feeds the geek need to know things that dont matter in reality. I find this awesome I remember hearing about this rumor back in the early 90s and hoping that some day we would know the truth. Sure it doesnt mean jack shit in reality but neither does going back down to the titanic every few years. We do it because humans are a strange group, we always want to know more, even if its useless info we want
Im going to sound like a dick, but if you had a previous name of course its going to come up on a backround check, most jobs ask if you have any other names, if you said no, you lied on your resume, thats grounds for termination or not getting a job
wait wait wait, you mean the shutdown that was over delaying the implementation of obamacare... which obama delayed as soon as the shutdown was over anyway? and you blame the republicans for this?
and you would be wrong. There are a large number of truck drivers being paid much better then IT workers. A low level truck driver is usually higher paid than a low level IT worker these days
Sadly there is no correct answer to that. If I am the boss, the correct/best candidate is one who I find will fit in with the group. If it is a male/female/ hermaphrodite whatever. but simply saying that there are not enough women in tech therefore SEXIST! is not true at all, it COULD be true, but using just the data points provided doesnt prove it to be so
about how few females are truck drivers?? or garbage collectors? or oil field workers? or (insert other industry here)
Why does it seem that tech is being unfairly beat up because of a apparent lack of women? the lack of women does not automatically mean that there is some sexist agenda, It could simply mean that there are A - not enough women wanting to be in the field or B - better qualified candidates who happen to be male.
Females wanted equality, I define equality by giving the job to the best candidate, not an artificial quota of genders in each position
see, I find the quite interesting. Why did none of the people who moved into the area take over the business left behind by the white person? To me it sounds like you are making the argument that without the white man, no one can make it. As such I find your statement more racist than I do find people wanting to move because (insert reason here)

its also just as easy for a stay at home mom, or an unemployeed poor person to report the same information
and I find it morally reprehensible that no one believes in personal responsibility and personal freedom any longer.
CBO just figures the numbers that are given to them. If given shit number, you will get shit results
How many people lost their health insurance last year? Id say more than 10 million
and how many people signed up for obamacare? they say 8 million*
Now explain to me how a net loss of at least 2 million is the same as a net gain of 12 million??
* this is the number who have signed up, not the number who are enrolled/ paying for a plan
im starting to think you work in the whitehouse. Ive never seen anyone shill for the ACA harder than you. I commend you
we need to stop even talking about subsidies, That is just money coming out of all of our pockets in the form of taxes. Use the real numbers.
funny how people posting under real accounts are talking about the true hardships they face, and cowards call them liars.
right, they should have given up on those pesky civil rights after the first filibuster by the democrats, because why bother?
we had to vote for it before we could see it remember? thats what comrad nancy told us
Koch brothers, george soros, I guess its ok when the dems have rich donors, but if the repubs have rich donors they are evil... hypocrites
no, but he did say he was going to end the wars in his first year, last I checked we are still over there

SOMEONE is paying for it, even if it isnt you.

if we help 1 person by screwing 100, im sorry but thats not how society should work
Actually, no... it was a democrat... it was hillary clinton
If I didnt already know they were doing the dig, I would have thought the same, that or " is it april 1st already?"

ok fine, Ill change it up
why dont we complain that there are not enough male kindergarten teachers? or male flight attendants or librarians?
AFAIK truck drivers don't earn $100K+ a year
