Using stuff from the Heritage Foundation on the ACA is like citing Stormfront on Jews.

Less biased than MSM and they used CBO numbers, if you'll note on one of the graphs.

Everybody and their cat knows Obamacare is a disaster.

What isn't really focused on is why Obamacare ever came to be; the industry was a disaster and needed a major overhaul. Of course government is going to overhaul it in a way that empowers them.

People without health insurance are getting it, that must really piss you off for some reason.

I would still hesitate using them or anything they produce -- obviously because of a massive conflict of interest.

That aside: I don't like that you're forced to purchase from the private market -- I really do wish there was a public option that wasn't a matter of aid.

Unfortunately I'm in Mexico where I live and work illegally, so I have no idea what's going to happen with my coverage as I have no intentions of moving back to the States permanently or even temporarily in the foreseeable future.

I'm pissed I'm being forced to take out insurance, that will never be used or needed. Infertile couples must carry maternity now. As do gays. A bit insulting and cruel, wouldn't you say?

It's nothing more than wealth redistribution.

Cry me a fricking river. If you're so worried about costs how about cutting defense?

Is it true that you can bypass it with $95?

I don't like my insurance rates going up. I don't like the extra layer of gov. control and regulation.

Let's not pretend that we had a great healthcare system and Obama fricked it all up. It was totally rip-off, broken system to begin with.

And no, I'm not a liberal nor Obama supporter.

I think he's talking about his personal cost not government cost. At least in that post.

Strategically speaking (while I do agree with you, and feel that this is better overall), cutting defense near the peak (whether descending or ascending) of a financial crisis is a really bad idea.

We may need to take what we need in the near future. :(

Do citizens personally pay for defense out of their own paycheck.

Since you dont mind. how about you give me an extra $300 a month, and cover the difference in my deductibles every year

If you don't have a job or work. Otherwise, it's 1% of your income. Whichever is more.

I haven't pretended that at all. Opening up state lines for competition would have been the first appropriate thing done.
