That's still true. If you like your doctor, keep going to him. No one is holding a gun to your head outlawing you from going to see this doctor you have to have. But he sure got that one wrong about keeping your plan. Never in history did an insurer ever keep the same plan from one year to another. For the past 30 years, they always changed the plan to show how much more it was going to cost next year and which doctors they wouldn't pay for (but you can still go to if you want to pay his fee on your own).

BTW, the $2,500 savings was wrong but is way too low...turns out that the average Obamacare subsidy is $276/mo or $3,312. The funny part is how so many people believed he was talking about the average family not the average Obamacare subsidized family.

Sorry, no CODs, no refunds and not responsible for damages incurred.
That was all done to sugar coat the fact that it is really a way to insure the uninsurable and the uninsured who don't qualify for Medicaid or Medicare and can't afford to buy it.
For the majority, there has been some benefit such as no charge for a lot of preventive medicines but no one is sending them a statement saying look how much money you saved on that...we only see the higher premium and deductible. Now, to be fair, it was going up like that before Obamacare came along anyways.

You're right.

The loudest ones are upset because their premium and deductible went up but they don't have a clue what its all about for folks like your son.

But no worries. After awhile, the facts start to show the positive of the ACA when comparing expansion states versus non-expansion states. All the focus has been on the problems in the non-expansion states but everyone knew the outcome when those states didn't expand anyhow. So it really isn't hurting the ACA, it just hurts those in need in those non-expansion states.

That's fine, go ahead and make and state your case but I believe I am simply reflecting the common observations on these things. No matter how many arguments you make, folks just don't see the dots connected that way about the Clintons. What would be their motivation? Why would that benefit them? See, the big picture has to fit but it doesn't.

However, the Trump thingy does fit the bigger picture. There can be lines of folks supporting the whole argument for the system that saved a failed Trump but folks know there is nothing in the system to save them if they have a bad year with a job loss or big medical bills or tuition or costs for elderly parents or relatives. If regular folks fail, they are on the street after bill collectors carrying court orders in hand come and take what ever possessions remain.

It is easy as making pie to make $10 billion if you can get billions in loans from the Chinese and Russians and if you're wrong and lose a billion, it's a tax write-off but you don't lose your mansion or billionaire lifestyle. People now see Trump is a con man and is far from being a successful genius.

It's a nice system but don't pretend that somehow Trump did it rather, the government made him a success - - he couldn't lose. The same system needs to be in place for ordinary people too especially those with medical debt or job loss debt - - give them the chance to become productive, tax paying citizens again.

Because it is not credible, Clintons believe in consuming alcohol, eating pork bbq and pork hot dogs, educating females, allowing anyone to practice any religion they choose and secularism that enforces the prohibition of religious influence of the government. Conversely, those organizations like Taliban, Al Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood are seeking a government run by religion that prohibits alcohol, pork, allowing girls in school and placement of religious leaders in charge of laws.

However, the latest alleged Trump tax form (that hasn't been denied), shows that if true, that he lied about being a successful businessman. The t***h is he was a failure but the tax laws are written by the elite to protect the elite like Trump. As president there will be no IRS rules to bail him out of bankrupting the country.

His great weakness is his vanity. He is temperamentally incapable of allowing any attack on his person to go unavenged. He is particularly sensitive on the subject of his wealth. So central to his self-image is his business acumen that in the debate he couldn't resist the temptation to tout his cleverness on taxes. To an audience of 86 million, he appeared to concede that he didn't pay any. "That makes me smart," he smugly interjected.

Big mistake.

Keep it going. It's a great place to identify and monitor sociopaths and extremists. Besides, people can vent their energy in texts rather than have it bottled up and then explode on family, friends or neighbors.

That's interesting so, what's your belief as why she is cleared and free? If all you wrote is true, then there's an outcome. But based on reality, I'd say you may be mistaken. That's why we get the rolling of the eyes and folks normally open to conservatism get turned off, when they read or hear folks like you.

I doubt that at all especially all the dramatics in your text indicate you are hyper and one of the types that believes Bush went to war to get our boys k**led on purpose. I think we can rely on security being secure despite what Powell and Clinton did or didn't do.

The foreign hackers got into the government servers many times but have never got into her private server. Evidence from November '14 to March '15 shows the "secured" state department and "secured" white house servers were hacked multiple times but no evidence has been found that her private server was hacked (basically, private security is far better than government security).

So true, yes I agree but I do see a difference from then and now. The insight that I wanted to share is how each cycle through the libs or the left, it is less drastic. Perhaps from books and history lessons such as the one you referenced. To me, it sure seems like the Chinese, Vietnamese and especially the Russians have cycled through and embrace less of it - - at least from the economic monetary system. Cuba seems the last to have taken action but that too seems to have the potential to change with the talk of allowing private ownership and profit from foreign investors.

At the same time you have this resurgence of the left here (Bernie Sanders aka socialist democrats or democratic socialists or wh**ever they said they are). I get the impression there are a lot of our future generations are steered against the republic and believe the hype of western Europe socialism of 75% tax rate in exchange for a house that looks the same as every house in town and an education but not allowed to turn that education into a multimillion dollar corporation but even if there was a way to do that...the corporation would be taxed at 90% to completely shut down any growth opportunity in order to subsidize the expensive solar energy because nuclear and coal power plants are outlawed. And we could go on and on with the inherent weakness of the western European socialist system but the kids are being fed only one side of the story and just believe it is what they want.

Them thar global elitists been around since the early 1300's. Their type goes back a few millennia when it was regional elitism instead of global. Before that, it was tribal elitism. They'll be with us when it is galactic elitism too. As much as you think they are controlling us, they are equally dependent on us. Without us, they could not consider themselves either elite or in control. The republic will do fine despite them.

The emails she got from work and those she sent to work are all on the work computers. What they're upset about is the stuff she deleted bc it probably had the good stuff such as what she really thought of BHO. And bc she pulled a Clinton and was able to legally delete that kind of stuff, the only thing the GOP can do now is make up stuff such as "she lied". Now, if she lied, they would not hesitate to indict her...but they can't, bc she didn't lie. And the stuff about needing to retake the republic was said in vain back in '12 and the republic is still here..despite bho

It never did bother me with the libs and the social stuff, drone wars and wh**ever else is supposedly destroying America. To me, any stuff they've done is piddly work compared to the actual near destruction from the wars and the subprime mortgage. Compared to those who call for the abolishment of government and forcefully taking public property, the marxist progressives are turning out to be far more patriotic too. The whole thing is upside down nowadays from what it used to be. What used to be called Marxist and C*******t used to actually mean Marxism and C*******m but nowadays its all twisted up that anyone who is for a Federal Bureau of Investigation or a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is being called a Marxist and C*******t.
