Again, the only claim you presented attributable to the ACA--the delay in statements delaying refunds by a few weeks (assuming you don't bother to place a call to get the info)-is pretty minor. Everything else is speculation. Or masturbation.
Look at you. Ignoring inconvenient facts, resorting to cheap insults.

Can you actually back up yet bullsh#t, sketch?
I explained why your complaint about the delay in mailing corrected credit statements were overblown.
Or are you just going to continue to whine like a little baby and cry about how unfair everyone is when you are asked to substantiate yer arguments?

P.S. Reilly, Tesla is lagging lately. Because of the rumors that Apple wants to invest in its own electric car? Also, oil is cheap, which sent my investments in green technologies south too.
I'm more excited about their recent announcement that they should have a battery available in 6 months that can store energy for residential usage.

Yeah. I get it. You've repeatedly carped about my whining and crying, all from "I got my call. Hooray Obamacare".
Talkin' bout histrionics... dirtbag's got 'em.

Besides my posts, what has your diapers in a wad, sketch?
You seem more interested in bitching about me than backing up your posts.

Who called you, Sketch?
Why did no one else receive a call?
Because you're full of sh#t.

Effective 1/1/15, medical plan premiums in B.C. are $144/month for a family of 3 or more. In other Canadian provinces, health coverage is free.
Also, in B.C., low income subscribers get their coverage for free

Americans spend trillions and trillions of their dollar money killing everything on the planet to live happily in suburbia.
Stupid people.
They could easily spend the money on free health care.
Instead all they do is spend all the money on how to kill each other .....

Should the government run the health insurance system?
Is that really a question?
As if the health insurance industry is doing such a great job....
We should be way beyond that question, and concentrating on figuring out how the government should best run healthcare.

Why is that Sierra? You really believe government can run things better than private business? Every program the government runs, it spends way more money than they said they would. What makes you think government runs things better? The money going to government just means it is easier to hide where it is really going. It just feels like we give Washington money and they know best what to do with it. You really believe the government can handle your money better than you can? We needed to fix health care we did not need to hand it over to the government in my opinion. I guess some trust the government with their money, I don't, they don't have a good track record.

You really believe government can run things better than private business? To answer that question, you just have to look at the mess we've been in with private industry running healthcare for decades.
The answer is that a retarded panda bear in China can run America's healthcare better than private industry. We need to get private industry out of healthcare altogether.
I am a physician in the meat of it, and I can tell you from first-hand daily experience that private industry is destroying this country's healthcare system.
Private industry establishs a whole host of incentives that are simply not compatible with taking care of people's health.
Private healthcare industry does NOTHING but take advantage of people's illnesses to make CEOs even wealthier than they already are. Plain and simple.
Get private industry out of healthcare!

SLR, you are so right, but the special interests can distort the issue with TV ads so effectively.
Death panels!
Lose your doctor!

The strength and problem with private anything is that it is for profit. In the case of medical care, when the bottom line is the most important thing, above the health and welfare of the people it should be serving but instead is preying on, it's profits over patients. That's why it doesn't work for the consumer, only the shareholders.
Private industry and competitive capitalism work well in a lot of fields; companies striving to lure consumers with a better product at a better price can be a win win. But it's innate vulnerability to corruption makes it inappropriate in others. A good example is law enforcement; buy the company and you're above the law.
Medical care for all, with elite boutique capitalist care for those that can afford it / want to spend their money that way, ( there will always be a market for that) seems to work for the rest of the world. Why are we so stubborn as to be he Only holdout?

But.. I have to wait in a line at the DMV, that proves the Gov. just doesn't work
Yes the DMV is what all Gov. agencies strive to replicate.
I think I see some anti-Gov. bias in this belief, similar to the Koch Bros Anti Gov. propaganda.
Isn't the Gov. our only protection against the Profiteers??
