  1. Most liberals that I see, reluctantly support the ACA because it's the president's main achievement, so it's more a matter of trying to help support his legacy. However, I believe once the healthcare law starts showing it's ugly face, they'll dip on him with blinding speed.
  2. Seems as if just about every day there is either a study, news from the actuaries, the administration, the states or medical providers that warn us of some sort of negative impact that we will see as a result of the ACA. One of the worst impacts will be on at the state level, the classic bait and switch, we'll cover your Medicaid expansion costs for the first x amount of years, then after that, "don't worry about it, health care costs will go down, so you will be fine" State budgets will explode! Which will lead to even more dramatic cuts for state government Union employees, and of course they will all be asking Uncle Sam to bail their ass out. Then you will see liberal lawmakers blame Conservative governors for slashing budgets, that basically were imposed by their crappy piece of **** legislation. The ACA sucks ass. Some of us have been saying this for a few years now, soon we will start seeing everything that was predicted. It will be interesting to see how Liberals will react to this abortion of a Law that they created all on their own. Will some of them remain quiet and hide? Will some of them predictably say "see, we should have had the public option". Will some of the more moderate democratic voices admit that it could have been crafted better and support a repeal or a major overhaul. or will some push for Single Payer health care? In any case, it's a train wreck that will undoubtedly affect our health care system, small businesses and state and federal budgets.
  3. More from Kathleen Sebelius
  4. Actually that scouting report, which hasn't completely played out, is pretty accurate with a number of his assessments.
  5. Don't forget Climate Change
  6. I'm guessing all the criticism from all those football players were simply because they were all a bunch of racists.
  7. This isn't the first major criticism of Geno Smith. Obviously scouts are wrong all the time, but the specific critiques on him are disconcerting.
  8. Even if you go by what those articles say, they use terms such as "one-time journeyman" "he was a journeyman then" past tense.
  9. If so, it could possibly affect who the Raiders draft with their first pick.
  10. So I was reading in the Urban Dictionary regarding the origin of "Smear the Queer" !@#$ing priceless
  11. I don't think you read it to thoroughly. If you had, then you would see that it was advocating much of what you said the other day, which is if people have to spend a little more out of pocket themselves, that it could drive down costs. The assumption, which makes a lot of sense to me is that if the government subsidizes cost, that it could potentially bring down the cost for the end user, but that the rate of growth in health care costs would continue to rise because of there being little pressure on prices to bring them down. If you shift some of the costs to the end user, where funds are more limited, it would provide more competition for those fewer dollars bringing down costs. You basically made the same point the other day, when you said that you believed that higher deductible plans could lead to lower overall costs. I would re read it again.
  12. Even though I do have many disagreements with TYTT, this is an old adage that has a lot of truth to it.
  13. A fantastic in depth study perfromed by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research on Obamacare. http://www.manhattan...tm#.UVW1IDeMBpk Key Findings: Something that the Ryan plan looks to address.
  14. Based on the evidence that is out there, it appears that GZ will be exonerated. Even most legal experts believe this to be eventual outcome.
  15. That's true, but I highly doubt, Zimmerman the wuss actually initiated a physical confrontation. I just have a hard time believing that.
  16. Only in loony leftist douchebag world do people believe that extremely hard working, intelligent, innovative people are lucky for what they have.
  17. GZ made a dubious and fateful decision when he ignored the request of the 911 operator, and by the looks of it he is a a bit of a wuss. Having said that, neither of these two are a crime, he is well within his rights to defend himself and having someone physically attack you does allow him the rightful use of a firearm. It's just unfortunate that the kid also made a bad choice in losing his temper and attacking him for following him. The more appropriate course of action would have been for him to simply walk away. You just don't begin to physically pummel someone because they are looking at you funny or for following you. That's just not how you handle things, and if you disagree with that, fine, but you put yourself in a position to be harmed, because the person you are attacking may be armed and he is protected by law in defending himself.
  18. Just take a look at him, someone has got to make his decisions.
  19. Uhh, yeah, he deserves it. What sort of retarded comment is this? Not taking anything away from it yet Of all people he was lucky?
  20. Glenn would move to RT before he would ever move to Guard. In other words, he won't be a guard.
