More Obamacare fuckups

[Tgo01]

I get where Tgo is coming from (though I don't know why the heck he even comes close to supporting any Republican, because they'll never enact what he wants)

Because Democratic politicians are like children on a power trip. Sure, they might actually implement good healthcare reform, but at what cost? Look what they ended up doing with Obamacare. What else are they going to fuck up while they're at it? Look at how Democrats are turning on police officers. POLICE OFFICERS! What's next, are Democrats going to tie the police's hands when it comes to combating crime because we have to think about the poor and unfortunate criminal?

Just listen to Democrats sometimes. It's a growing cry of "But think of the non violent offenders!" Yes, notice how they even PC'ed up the fucking term criminals, now it's just "offenders." But other than that who gives a shit if someone is in jail for a non-violent offense. I don't want burglars or crack dealers roaming the streets because a bunch of stupid liberals think non-violent offenders shouldn't be in jail.

Illegal alie...sorry, "undocumented workers", well hell let's just open up the fucking border!

Guns should be outlawed! That police officer shouldn't have used his gun...nor his stun gun...nor his pepper spray...notice how no matter what the fuck the officer uses they are always in the wrong because they should have used a "less violent" option that supposedly is always at their disposal?

Democrats are too busy trying to tell people that the evil Republicans want to implement voter ID laws because they are racist and don't want blacks to vote, even though our good friends up north have voter ID laws and many Democratic states have voter ID laws. But the Republicans!

You're a black Republican? You're scum and should be shot according to Democrats. You're a black FEMALE Republican? Forget about it! Democrats can't do anything right so the only way they can win is to instill fear in everyone (notice how Obama keeps claiming that if Congress shoots down the Iran deal the only option after that is war? FEAR MONGER!) or to claim "the other side" is filled with sexists and racists and that the Democrats will look after them.

"Vote Democrat! The party of the poor!" they'll shout. Exactly. Read that again poor people and realllllly let it sink in for a moment. If the Democrats are on your side because you're poor and they'll look after you...they want you to stay poor so you'll continue to vote them in so they can continue to look after you...

Alright, I'm hopping off my soapbox now.

And just who on the SCOTUS is elected? What districts to I need to be in to vote for or against them? Seriously?!!?!

You misunderstand what a constitutional ruling means: it does not mean that a law must be, it means that a law can be. Congress is perfectly capable of repealing the ACA or any other constitutional law, and you can vote for both Representatives and Senators.

If you want to influence the makeup of the Supreme Court, your vote also has an impact by counting in the election for President (who nominates the Justices) and the Senate (who approves those nominations).

Take a breath. Think it over.

So, paid enrollments are slipping? I wonder why?

the remaining uninsured may be disinclined to enroll or feel the plans are not affordable. *

I know my cost of insurance went up, my deductibles went up and my coverage went down with this mess. OH, and hey, I am covered for a pap smear and well baby care despite being a single male. What a farce.

As explained in the article, coverage numbers slipped last year and this year for a variety of reasons: cost is one, but they also list many statuses a change in which would explain dropping a private plan: job, immigration, marriage. The important point is that the number went from 8m to 6.4m to 11.7m to 9.9m. Looking at numbers year-over-year is an intelligent practice, and one I encourage you to embrace.

If you think about it, the fact that people failed to accurately gauge the plans' costs can't possibly be evidence that the plans are too expensive... because if people couldn't tell how expensive it was, why would we assume they can now? I don't know if you've ever been on an Obamacare site but the prices are listed up front.

Keep apologizing.

I used basic math to defend George Bush from scurrilous accusations, I use basic math to defend B. Hussein Obama from the same, I will use basic math to defend whomever the next President is as well. I suppose I just can't help it.
