Is it a coincidence that the site goes down shortly after Lupine returned? :confused2:

Agreed. I've been using it for years and love it.

In the private sector, Ponzi schemes are illegal. In the government, they're standard operating procedure.

We had to pass the bill to see what was in it. :D Seriously, this is why the majority of people on the left and right are opposed to ACA. It goes too far for the right, and not far enough for the left. Plus it increases costs across the board at a time when the economy is in the toilet. As...

It's a stepping stone towards single-payer, as far as I can tell.

Maybe not. I'm a conservative in many areas, but I believe that health care should be run by private, non-profit organizations. Crazy, I know...

Yep. But the reality is we're already paying for people without insurance who show up at the hospital ER with the sniffles and are required by law to be cared for. This just makes a way for the hospitals to get paid. Hospital stocks jumped way up today after the ruling...

Sounds like the majority of us 99%ers are going to see costs rise regardless. Granted, premiums go up every year no matter what. Just not sure how this helps anyone in the middle class.

I agree that there are good provisions in the law. I'm not sure they balance out the flaws or justify the "tax" though. Time will tell.

Will Smith 2012!

If Romney is smart (survey says?) then he'll use the fact that Obama said this wasn't a tax but then the SCOTUS says it is...and the largest one in US history at that (or so I keep hearing). Yet another lie from Obama? Romney could score big with blue dogs and Independents. I'm no fan of...

Castration is the kindest punishment I can think of. :(

"This is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause." Senator Padme Amidala (D-Naboo) Just lightening the mood. :D

And the pundits are saying this could be considered the largest "tax" in history. I suppose time will tell if the dire predictions about the long wait times, poor quality of care, and doctors jumping ship will come true or not. Can't wait for the Presidential Debates. Gonna be ugly. <gets...
