But those are just the kind of job titles a guilty person would use. If they were really innocent, they wouldn't have to sound innocent. So says Cly... uh... nevermind.

I kind of wish we had strict campaign spending limits just so this silly paranoia would abate (to some extent).

Always said it was because leadership left. Not sure why you are having such a hard time understanding that. If you think the reason those individuals left is to blame, then you are entitled to blame that.

Apparently now the Government also decided it will not investigate possible fraud with exchanges and subsidies until 2015 either.

I mean, there is NO WAY this could be political right? It has to just be a coincidence. Why would DEMS not want to investigate fraud? What could they possibly have to gain?

TL;DR

A company can legally charge 9.5% for their healthcare plan to their employees. 9.5% of a 20,000 dollar salary is 1,900 dollars, most workers making 20k a year don't have 2k a year laying around for health insurance. Even if they did many of these plans have a 3k a year deductible before the insurance kicks in meaning employees making 20k a year would have to pay 5k (or one fourth of their income) before they get any use at all out of their insurance.

Since the company offered an "affordable" plan to their employees the employees aren't eligible for any government assistance in obtaining healthcare. If employee can't afford the "affordable" healthcare offered by their employers then they can't receive any government assistance, if they can't receive any government assistance they now have to pay a fine for not having health insurance since it's the law that everyone must have health insurance.

So why isn't the question 'why is the employee only being paid 20k a year for full time work?'

You guys do know that this plan will reduce the deficit. Right?

The congressional budget office has projected that it will reduce the deficit. Are you laughing because you don't want to believe it?

Static accounting fail, Backlash. You forgot that everything Obama does will push business owners to, um... Russia? Someplace foreign, anyway, and the free market dictates that no one will take their place creating jobs and we'll all just be sitting around in squalor with no jobs and no money, because that's what we all decided happened to Rome, and therefore the deficit will increase.

It's like you never even took an economics class, sheesh! They cover this on the first day, word for word, prove me wrong.
