Cknolls Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 01:59 PM) No it isn't. The Medicaid enrolees are much, much larger since they didn't have to pay anything. The numbers in that article in the 10's of thousands for the states that did things well are the numbers who paid for their plan. And just to note...that's them pre-paying. They paid for plans in November that won't start until January. So you agree with what I said. The majority of the number you cited in that article were Medicaid enrollees. Where in that article unless I missed it, does it state that people paid for their plans? I did read it quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean by his trailing comment -- he's telling America to wake the f*** up, while ignoring the fact that America elected a president that put said legislation into effect/law, enabling him to get that, not once, but twice. By that rational, America DID wake the f*** up...or he wouldn't have what he has. This is just typical partisan stupidity. He's b****ing to b**** about nothing. I get annoyed when 21 year olds (or in that age group) pretend they have it so s***ty, and everything around them is s***ty, and that the rest of the world is awesome, and they've not lived a single hard day in their lives.

You're b****ing about something working out well for you, and telling the country to wake up at the same time. The country obviously DID wake up, but you're CHOOSING to ignore that because you want to make a negative partisan political point, for no reason. It doesn't matter what some fringe element wants to do with the law right now...it's law, and it's a law that's been upheld by the supreme court. It's done. This is like winning, and then b****ing because the team you beat isn't happy you won. So what. The country you're telling to wake up elected this president twice. I thought that's what you wanted?

I assume, then, that you make enough money to support a family of four? If that's the case, then frankly I wouldn't be surprised if you DO make 8x what I do! Or if not 8x, you're insuring FOUR people for $400 while I'm insuring just one. I don't really see what there is to complain about to be honest.

IF something good comes out of this, then great. The problem is, however, if this turns really bad, we will still be stuck with it, or some bastardized form of it...it's not like we live in a world where we shift on a dime when things go bad. Instead, we try to bandaid the problem over and over by throwing gobs of money at it, while fixing nothing. Take a look at education...the US spends more money than anyone in the world and we have one of the worst school systems in existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
