Wow, talk about a blast from the past. Rio Rebel pops his head in P&N!

Well, now that things are different and all the threads are intelligent and respectful, this seems like a great place to visit.

(was I able to say that with a straight face?)

I hate to sound like a whiner, which I most likely am, but my premiums have gone up 3x for 2014 if I keep a similar plan. What is this government mandated BS? How is this helping?

At least it has not helped me. I am being too selfish I believe.

You get to take one for the team. We're all going to be socialists and that means that those that have must pay for those that haven't.

But don't blame me because I didn't vote for him.

What are you clowns go to do when ACA works. You can't have that, now can you. Time to pull out the GOP playbook and instead of working for the people spend 8 years

OBSTRUCTING.

Typical of the GOP losers and their ilk. Fuck you and see you in reruns next election as you won't be around.

Anecdotal nonsense.

What part of it is nonsense? I just gave an example of what happened to me. It could be different for the next guy since not everyone's premiums will rise at the same rate.

Stop worrying so much about your politics. Look at the thing.

I could care less about Obama or Romney or Democrats or the GOP. When people see their premiums rise greatly, it's not a minor thing. But we're so political that everything is looked at through a screen rather than looking at what is actually happening.

You're dealing with one of the sourest posters here. Questioning him is a colossal waste of effort. Don't bother. He has no compassion for anyone that doesn't think like him. In this situation he could absolutely care less if a government program mandated upon you is something you can actually afford. So he calls you a liar.

Don't bother to argue with a progressive. It's not even remotely worth your time.

Because people have real world experiences that go against the official story line, it is considered to be irrelevant.

The story play sale was that it was not going to have impact on consumers unless they were Cadillac plans.

Employers and taxes on medical relayed companies would cover additional costs.

Now we see that existing policies doing what we were told would not happen

Going up.

Add a tax, that tax is past on to consumer.
