Even I don't have enough words to describe all the things you do wrong.

I kid! I kid. :heart:

So, wait, it's possible her premiums could be that high but he's "skeptical"? Well shit! I'm sure as fuck convinced she's lying now!

You highlighted nothing. Might as well say that an atheist scientist didn't dismiss the possibility of a deity therefore even he says that god exists. That logic doesn't work.

And her 1200 dollar a month quote was for both her and her husband.

Also I don't smoke and by law insurance companies can charge smokers more, what if both she and her husband smoke?

Now wait...let me see...200 x 3 x 2...carry the one...

But the “nearly $700 per month” increase in her premium that McMorris Rodgers cited in Tuesday night’s GOP response to the State of the Union address was based on one of the pricier options, a $1,200-a-month replacement plan that was pitched by Asuris Northwest to Grenier and her husband, Don.

The carrier also offered a less expensive, $1,052-per-month option in lieu of their soon-to-be-discontinued catastrophic coverage plan. And, Grenier acknowledged the couple probably could have shaved another $100 a month off the replacement policy costs by purchasing them from the state’s online portal, the Health Plan Finder website, but they chose to avoid the government health exchanges.

Look at that. It started out at nearly $700.00 more and was proof that the law just doesn't work. We, even with the little we know, are already able to save this lady $300.00 on her new plan and she'll get better coverage.

Too bad this lady didn't return her rep's call before she got pushed into the national debate. If she had, and if the Morris had done any fact checking, this would never have come up.

By pointing out the fact that the guy who you claimed would know this stuff doesn't dismiss the possibility that what she said could be 100% accurate doesn't prove anything? :/

So she gets a letter in the mail saying her plan is going up 140% but we call her stupid and say she could save 300 dollars from that figure which would bring her new plan to 80% more than her old plan and she has "saved money" in the process?

No, I'm not calling her a fuck up for that. I am calling this another "Obamacare Fuckup" because the GOP rep out there scaring folks doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. It's not the only ACA myth. Here are some more: http://www.theguardian.com/commentis...ories-debunked

I am calling this lady a fuck up for not even checking. Her insurance may go up and you may have to pay 188$ that's true. We've known all along that the best of us will have to make some sacrifices.

You can get pennicilin through Obamacare. Not bad and you'll need it after lovin' on Jeril. (maybe lovin' under him is more accurate but you see what I'm saying)

How is this a myth when the guy who said he's "skeptical" admitted she could be right on the money with her story? Her plan went up 140%. How is that helping this woman?

Pretty sure that the difference between 1,200 and 1,050 is only 150, and tack on another 100 to that and we get 250$ which isn't 300$. And that still leaves them paying close to 450$ more a month. They will be getting better coverage at least, but is all of it even something they'd need?

That's a good question. We don't know what they need nor do we know the circumstances of their health, age or income. We do know that they got a letter offering a plan nearly $700 a month more than they have now so they wrote a letter to their congresswoman and she cited that as "The law is not working". No fact check, no nothing. Just one letter from a constituent who hadn't even done her own research.

The guy said it doesn't sound right to him, and I suppose he's something of an expert on this since he's the regulator for the state, but he did not dismiss the possibility outright. You took a lot from the latter part of that sentence and nothing from the former. I don't think you gave this idea a fair shake because it doesn't mesh with what you want to think or your politics.
