Vale

I've provided many more concrete facts here than you have though. I've linked my exact plan so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. You are the one spouting off numbers and claims without any sort of proof. You won't even link your plan from the website you provided. Nobody else has for that matter, just unsubstantiated claim after unsubstantiated claim. So yes, forgive me for being skeptical.

The group think on this board sometimes is unbelievable. The theory here is I guess that nobody is better off under the ACA or that only the poor are better off as a result of subsidies. I provide concrete evidence of significant improvement with a middle class income receiving no subsidies and am shouted down as a liar.

I guess in your world, the insurance companies are making out even more like bandits than before since premiums have increased across the board for everyone without any improvement in coverage. Well, I can simply tell you that is not the case.

But why don't you link your plan? Why won't anyone link their plan? If I'm "willfully ignorant" then give me the tools to inform myself about your situation. Even though I don't really care about you, I will. Because when I create a fictional family of 5 for my wife and I on that website I see a bronze plan for 587, the gold plan I am on for 815, a platinum plan with no deductible and 3000 max out of pocket annual expense for 991 and catastrophic plans unavailable. You see that this doesn't even remotely match up with the story you are telling me.

Check and uncheck plan levels here if you doubt me:

I fully expect that you will continue to provide a lack of verifiable information while using ad hominem attacks against someone who is giving the only verifiable information in this thread. I'm done unless you start giving concrete information since every word you have said in this thread is 100% unverifiable and doesn't even match up with what I can observe in 5 minutes on that website.

Edit for the "like your plan/doctor keep your plan/doctor". I'm not Obama, and I'm not an Obama supporter and I honestly don't care at all about what he said regarding the ACA. All I care about is my bottom line which is better off than before.

What happened to that 12th hour extension of old non-compliant plans? I know my old insurance company still continues to send me offers to go back to their non-compliant plan that I obviously immediately toss in the garbage.

Mine for my family of five went from $432 a month to $1055 a month and my deductible went up.

I just saw this. It seriously pisses me off that the cheapest private plan I could get had me paying 270 a month for crap coverage that I almost never used while a family of five got coverage that I assume was pretty decent based on the fact that the new plans cover less for $432 a month.

I'm sorry your prices went up, but that was a sweetheart deal before if it was a private plan.

Did you deductible go up?

Sorry for the slow replies, I don't check here too often and forgot I had posted.

No, my insurance after Jan 1 is better in every measurable way than before except my pcp changed. I don't like my new pcp as much as my old one but I'm the type of person who cares more about my bottom line than personal relationships with people I see maybe 4 times a year.

Civilization IV
Counterstrike
Alpha Centauri
Master of Orion 2
Master of Magic
Mass Effect 2
Diablo 2
League of Legends

Hard to go beyond that as there as a huge dropoff already from 1-8 on that list but anything below those wouldn't even be in the same zip code.

Every time I log in, the entirety of my buddy list that is doing "endgame content" is repeatedly farming the latest farmable chest or goblin people have found.

Nobody wants to farm Valor stacks because the reward to time spent is so much worse than mindlessly popping a chest ad infinitum. Right now the endgame farming is infinitely more dreary than Baal runs ever were.

They just made way too many mistakes with way too little testing and given that I don't see any mechanism for a ladder reset (ala open and closed realm from D2) there doesn't seem to be much hope that it will get better.

Hopefully Torchlight 2 will scratch the right itch.

I'll be playing it when it is out of beta. If I want to play a game that hasn't been tested or balanced, I'll play Diablo 3.

Not really a spoiler when the entire skill tree is available here.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

GDs format is a 6 team playoff. Top 2 seeds MUST be conference champions. Other 4 seeds are up for grabs from anywhere. The seeding and teams selected are done by a known selection committee so there is accountability and you don't have selections like the Sugar Bowl this year that are all about the money.

Can you prove LSU's better than Houston?

No, and that is precisely the problem with a rematch. I CAN prove LSU is better than Alabama: 9-6 in your home stadium. I cannot prove that LSU is better than some other teams in this discussion without a game.
