ObamaCare Questions


Posted: Mar 21, 2010

1)  If this bill is so wonderful, then why have Obama and Pelosi resorted to bribes, threats, and arm-twisting to get the votes?  The "compassionate" Demonrats should be falling all over themselves to support it.   (This one's rheotorical; their actions speak for themselves.)

2)  If this bill is so great, why don't members of Congress volunteer to be the guinea pigs so we can all see how it works?  (ANSWER:  Because the "elites" [political class is scum, anything but "elite," but I'll humor 'em] are NOT going to subject themselves to the same CRAP they foist on us, the "useless eaters."  Not my term, THEIRS.  Yep, that's what they call us; Google it.)

Based on the posts here, it is quite obvious that the posters are incredibly ignorant on American history, economics, and civics, including but not limited to the founding fathers, U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, branches of government, Federal Reserve, and worldwide political systems (socialism, etc.).  Seriously, you guys need to bone up; it's pathetic.  You probably don't even know what unalienable rights are.  And you have a Fabian socialist surrounded by at least 26 Commies sitting in the White House, but because you don't know your history you're doomed to repeat it.

Yes, it is official. Welcome to the United States of - SOCIALISM !..nm

Here's one explanation from wikipedia that pretty much explains this administration.... - Anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Socialists generally share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through a system of exploitation. This in turn creates an unequal society, that fails to provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximise their potential....[6]
And the insurance companies continuting to rake in the bucks equals socialism how exactly? - Hmmm?

You are aware that they routinely make about 3% to 6% profit per year, right? - Anon

So is that too much for a company to make according to you? What would you consider fair? And what would you consider fair if it was YOUR company?
As always, you've missed (deliberately?) the point. Capitalism vs. Socialism. - good grief

And you've deliberately misconstrued my comment.... - Anon

The question itself reeked of bias: "Insurance companies raking in the bucks..."

Now if you want to phrase the question differently to indicate that you are truly interested in a discussion about insurance companies and socialism, then have at it.

Otherwise, I will not respond to such an obviously ridiculous question.

Good grief is right!

I agree. Right up there with Marxism and - Communist. Silly labels

that are clearly only being used because they are being repeated from the talking points that are being drilled into the heads of citizens. I think we all would do well to stop with the melodrama before someone gets hurt and stop with the button-pushing labels.
Excellent! I couldn't agree more. (sm) - Nikki

If we would just treat each other like human beings, instead of "the enemy," this board would be a very pleasant place to visit.

Obamacare Meltdown Has Arrived. Tennessee Is Ground Zero For Obamacare'sOct 07, 2016
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 ...
Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
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’ ...
DVR QuestionsFeb 19, 2011
These are probably stupid questions but I don't know anyone who has a DVR so I thought I'd come here to ask about it. We are thinking of getting a DVR service so we can quit the VHS taping merry-go-round, etc. Before I sign up, though, I'd like to know something about it from someone who's not trying to sell it to me! I understand that basically you can put in the name of a show you want it to record, and any time that show is aired it will record. Is that correct? So ...

What Questions Would You Ask An Accountant Before Becoming A Client?May 10, 2011
I've had it with ours. We don't get full copies of our filings back and he never files until the very last day if we owe taxes. He e-files through some company. Yesterday, I received a letter from the IRS that WE DIDN'T FILE FOR 2009! We certainly did but we can't remember how much we had to pay the IRS, if any. We do have checks for local and state taxes paid last year, but not federal. All I get his answering machine when I called (twice). I don't want to call the IRS ...

I didn’t want the answers buried because the original post is pretty far down the page.   You don't HAVE to take the compensatory option. You volunteer for it. If you want your OT paid in cash the week you work it, then so be it.   You said: "One other thing I'm not finding or maybe it's there and I don't understand the legal jargon: Is the OT that is converted into PTO time and a half? Do I get a half hour extra for every hour of OT?"   Yes, that&# ...

I posted earflier about how my local cable TV/internet/telephone company started blocking TV channels unless you rent a "box" from them.  I lost my temper and broke my bundle.  I cancelled TV and phone, ordered Direct TV, moved my phone # to a tracfone, and left internet intact because it's fast and high quality. It turns out that Direct TV couldn't get a "line of sight" to their satellite and so couldn't install.  I called Dish Network, and they're supposed t ...
Bread Making QuestionsJul 17, 2014

I'm going to give up and get a bread maker.  I see they come with recipes, but I cannot tell if you can use your own recipes in them.  Does anyone have any experience with this.  One of my favorites is a receipe for Pioneer Bread which uses some corn meal.  It is not heavy like rye, which I understand does not work well in machines. Any advice on this would be appreciated.  I am becoming alarmed ab ...
Perimenopause Questions - Looking For NaturalNov 01, 2014
Been visiting many different sites regarding perimenopause.  That is what I have.  While I don't have all the systems I do have 95% of them (luckily no hot flashes or night sweats though).  What really is getting to me is urinary incontinence.  It doesn't matter how much I try and hold it until I can make it to the bathroom, it doesn't work.  Been looking up what vitamins I should be taking to help control some of the symptoms (not going to go on rx meds) ...
Toaster Oven QuestionsJan 01, 2016
Does anyone own a toaster oven.  Our oven broke and is cheaper to buy a toaster oven than fix ours.  The only thing we really cook in the oven is small stuff (roast a chicken, cookies, brownies, melt cheese on our sandwiches and things like that).  No huge turkeys or whatever. So I'm looking at toaster ovens, at least a 6 slice toaster.  Does anyone have any recommendations or ones to stay away from.  We went to target and some were flimsy.  We are looking at ...
Divorce Questions, Advice AppreciatedJan 15, 2012
I will be married 32 years next month and never seriously considered divorcing my husband although in the past we did talk about it a couple times during rough times.  I thought we came through everything and had a stable and successful marriage.  However, my husband has interests I don't share, such as drinking, partying, poker, hanging out with his friends, etc.  Over time I came to accept and expect that and just figured he had a bit of a Peter Pan syndrome where he never ...
I Have 2 Questions About An Ortho Exam And DisabilityNov 28, 2011
1)  I had a GAU evaluation (for general assistance in WA state) earlier this year and am now up for an ABD eval. (Aged, Blind, and Disabled assistance).  The GAU examiner seemed to want to tank the exam and I found she lied in the report with respect to the ortho portion. I'm planning a letter to DSHS, her clinic's Director, and possibly the State Board. I had a later eval. at another clinic by a doctor who found a source of my ortho problem and thinks I need an MRI; also, I ...

Questions About Insurance And Crappy Diagnosis, Etc.Jul 30, 2010
Hi, Just wondering if anyone can give me a bit of info (since I have much better luck on message boards than I do trying to go directly to any source). ; ) To the point, I had not been to a doctor in several years.  I recently went to a gynecologist (was actually a NP) and then she referred me on to an IM doc.  They both ignored what I really wanted to focus on (hormones - perimenopausal and a slew of what I discovered to be thyroid symptoms I had been having for 12 years or so).&nbs ...
Anyone Here Raise Chickens? Have Lots Of QuestionsJun 02, 2010
I would love to raise some chickens but DH is against it. He hates them, says they're ugly, doesn't like eating chicken, and hates those "slimy eggs,"  hasn't eaten one in over 50 years, but I'm the opposite.  Do you think I can convince him to let me raise a few? A few questions are: 1.  How many chickens do you have? 2.  If you live in northern states, do you insulate your coop to keep your chickens warm? 3.  How many eggs per week do you get? 4 ...
