last month the state insurance commissioner, Julie Mix McPeak, approved premium increases of up to 62% in a bid to save the exchange set up under the Affordable Care Act. “I would characterize the exchange market in Tennessee as very near collapse,” she said. Then last week BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee announced it would leave three of the state’s largest exchange markets—Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville. “We have experienced losses approaching $500 million over the course of ...

I knew there wasn't quite something right about that poll that someone felt they needed to post it a second time below. Here is by far the best summary of what exactly that means. http://yardsaleofthemind.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/1571/ Oh, and please don't even get me started on any bull about my website is better than your website. Especially when that chart below that someone posted came from "Happy Place" and was of someone's opinion. The article I am ...

Courtesy of GeekAeslete on reddit: Imagine that you're sitting down to dinner with your family, and while everyone else gets a serving of the meal, you don't get any. So you say "I should get my fair share." And as a direct response to this, your dad corrects you, saying, "everyone should get their fair share." Now, that's a wonderful sentiment -- indeed, everyone should, and that was kinda your point in the first place: that you should be a part of everyone, and you should get ...

1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...

Right up front, let me say that there are things about Donald Trump that I dislike intensely, and if my reading of the blogosphere, media, etc. is correct, there are many who dislike the same things. In all fairness, however, most of my objections have to do with his persona and his presentation (which I consider to be undiplomatic and even adolescent at times), rather than with his IDEAS or POSITIONS. It's important to distinguish between the package and its contents. Th ...

No apoligies made for the length. National security is not amenable to sound bite format. The Op-Ed sources: William P. Barr was the United States attorney general from 1991 to 1993. James S. Gorelick was deputy attorney general from 1994 to 1997. Kenneth L. Wainstein was assistant attorney general for national security from 2006 to 2008. Why investigation was warranted (direct quotes from the linked article; emphasis mine) The leak — which resulted ...

Interesting….IIMPORTANT Explanation!!! Hope you read and pass it on so others can know-understand HERE is an explanation of the difference between the terms ISIS and ISIL. I have been suspicious of the term ISIL to which the administration stubbornly clings. ISIS = Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Iraq is to the east of Jordan (shaped like the hatchet) and Syria is to the north. ISIL = Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Iraq is still to the east of Jordan, and “the Levant� ...

I think you are referring to the language related to a special tax benefits offered as an incentive for HMO and non-profits to achieve high percentage medical loss ratios (the percentage of HMO premium revenues that pay for medical services). Common perception is that a high ratio is indicative of high quality care. Sec. 9016. Special deduction for Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). Requires that non-profit BCBS organizations have a medical loss ratio of 85 percent or higher in order t ...

As I mentioned yesterday (and from what I have read from others since my last visit), I, too, have become an independent because of the nonsense I have seen from both parties. That in no way means that I am for the abolition of parties, because I do believe one party often reins in the other, when the other goes "whack :) In fact, I believe we may need MORE parties for those of us who don't agree with the whole kit and caboodle of a single party. However, I think the problem today ...

This seems to sum it all up, especially what has happened in Europe and other countries overseas and could happen here if we don't stop it. ...

country. Their leadership has been under intense pressure not to let refugees in, many from Muslim Indonesia and Central South America. So Obama had an agreement with Australia to sent them here. Even if asylum seekers are found to be actual refugees, they’re not allowed to be settled in Australia. They’re sent to an offshore processing center. Trump is objecting to this. The rest of the world cannot just dump their problems on us. As far as Mexico, the media just flat out lied. ...

and no need to comment since it's not exactly political.... He got 30-60 years, which means if he lives a long life, he'll be 98 when he gets out at the minimum 30 years. He still states he is innocent if you heard his statement last night or this morning and now his lawyer is going to appeal. Can you imagine spending 30 years in isolation in an 8x10 cell? Don't know which prison he will be transferred to, but if anything holds true, he will not be sentenced in a local federal p ...

Read the complete article: BTW it says Rasmussen is skewed. http://www.thisweekinsociology.com/?p=225 Here’s a guide to what those polls actually say, beginning with a discussion of the basic mistake which almost all the polls make. Most of the major national polls on Obamacare choose to report findings on what percentage of Americans support the health care reform and what percentage favor its repeal. This simple distinction, braking public opinion into big blocs, immediate ...

ObamaCare, Death Star of the American Republic April 14, 2010 · 2 Comments A big h/t to beloved FellowshipOfMinds member FS for finding this extremely important and extremely frightening article. Remember what Nancy Pelosi said on March 10, which sounded utterly idiotic at the time? She said that “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” It turns out Pelosi is not a moron. Au contraire, this woman knows exactly what she&rsq ...

I haven't exactly been able to figure out about the insurance. ...

So this is what I have learned. After listening about the new health insurance, this is what I know. There are 3 levels of care/cost. They are trying to get the young people to join to keep the cost down for the older people. Well after listening to a question and answer discussion on line program coming out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota hospital systems, it scared me greatly. If all the young people join this program, it will not help the older people who live on a fixed inc ...

Is Obamacare going to be overturned and when? ...

When discussing the ACA or Obamacare, whichever you call it, remember that it is literally like comparing apples and oranges (and grapes, pineapple and maybe even potatoes). Each state has different prices and different plans from the federal plan. Some states now have only one company offering a plan through their state exchange. Each plan has a different monthly cost, a different deductable and it goes on and on and on. The requirements are different from state to state ...

Just this week my medical reports have included: 1. A suicide attempt by a patient who was despondent over the hospital bills that had accrued last year (before Obamacare). Patient is still recovering from illness and was depressed about not being able to pay bills. 2. A patient who was uninsured who had probably suffered a ruptured appendix a couple of months ago (before Obamacare) and went untreated. Patient now admitted for an abdom ...

who said they wanted it to fail, but didn't think it would be this fast. Problems they thought they could get by with for a longer period of time are now blowing up in their collective faces, and it couldn't happen to a better bunch. ...

We have got to get representative to abolish Obamacare, insurance is no good for healthy individuals and we end up paying for illegals as well as Medicaid recipients, it is just not fair for the working class. ...

For those MTs on here cheering the repeal of Obamacare keep in mind that many of your fellow IC MTs are on Obamacare currently and with health issues. They were unable to secure insurance prior to the ACA and today are covered for their health issues at an affordable rate. You write of soaring premiums under Obamacare but fail to take into consideration the cost of individual health insurance rates in your "free market." Those rates for me were over $1,200 per month for 1 ind ...
