He's an awful President and a failure of a leader.

I would be embarrassed to support such a small, hateful little person.

I don't want to attack Syria, so if that makes me a Putin supporter, so be it.

Putin definitely looked like the Alpha dog compared to Owebama, but then again we are talking about a former KGB agent and a community agitator.

I must be missing something.  If they're retirees, wouldn't their main plan be Medicare?
Not necessarily.  Some people retire before 65.

Someone remind me how 2 points are scored in a game?

I know a field goal is 3, a touch down is 7 - can be 8 if you go for two.

What is 2?

The Jags are getting creamed........

You never know, they may pull one out yet.

I don't doubt that irresponsibility are true in some cases, but I seriously doubt they're the majority.

So you think the majority of people are responsible?  I don't.  I think it's the opposite, that only a few are truly in that position.  This has been going on for years, it didn't just happen.

No, you misunderstand.  The level of care I receive, or am privy to, should be available to everyone, not just the poor/disabled/elderly.

It's crazy to think that people, who are able, who are working their asses off, doing the right thing (as it were), paying bills/taxes/taking care of their children...cannot afford health care...except going to the E.R....after they've let something that was nominal in the beginning escalate into something that now has to be really and seriously addressed. All because they couldn't afford to see an MD originally, where some pills or in office treatment would have sufficed and kept them out of the hospital, where the massive fees are passed along to those with private insurance, because someone who's doing the right thing, can't afford insurance or basic medical care and wellness.

It's obscene.

There are those who could afford a doctor's office visit, but simply prefer to cry poor mouth because it would interfere with buying their 'cool shit'.

Funny how you can see people crying poor mouth, can't buy insurance, can't afford a doctor's office visit, but they have money to buy new cars and go to concerts, have six cell phones in their family, etc.  It's all about priorities people.

Btw Susie...there are ppl denied health care in this country, at least up until Obamacare.

Those with preexisting conditions.
Right, and that needs fixing, it could be addressed without the entirety of Obamacare.  That's what I mean by bulldozing a house to fix the roof.

That's what Obamacare's trying to do...lower costs, decrease fraud, and increase participation by all...even the healthy.
I agree with some aspects of Obamacare, but it is essentially like bulldozing a house to fix the A/C -- my favorite analogy.

The exchanges open in less than 30 days, so we will see more after that.
12  Politikal / Political News and Election Coverage / Re: IBM dumping retirees on Obamacare Exchanges on: September 07, 2013, 11:36:46 am
which is why we needed the public option or single payer.

It will come.


You prefer people not having any healthcare?
No one is denied healthcare in this country.  Fixes need to be made to the system, not the entire system destroyed.

And so it begins. 

(Reuters) - IBM plans to move U.S. retirees off its company-sponsored health plan and shift them into new public insurance exchanges as a way of lowering costs.

IBM had selected Extend Health, which is owned by Towers Watson & Co, to provide retirees with new health options for medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage, the company said in a statement on Friday.

The plan, it said, offered IBM retirees more choice and better value than the company could provide through existing group plans.

IBM also said it was hosting meetings with groups of retirees across the country to inform them about the move to the country's largest private Medicare Exchange.
