He is appointing the guy who was flogging Medicare Advantage plans on TV to run Medicare!
I haven't seen where anyone has stated they are going to toss people off of Medicare and into an Advantage Plan.
Polite discourse is great but all of geek's answers amount to: FYGM.
Dumb Q, but why did John McCain deliver the famous thumbs-down? Just to give the finger to Herr Trump?
While Trump is a huge liar and nothing he says should be taken seriously the only way to enact the plans he claims to want is through massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, etc.
The extent to which everybody simply sees what they want in Trump despite all evidence to the contrary needs to be studied in a lab.
Seriously why can't you just say what you think it means? When someone says uh huh to you in the real world what do you think they mean?Why don't you just say what you mean.
so fucking weirdMaybe we can get the Chinese to study it. I heard they have all kinds of Labs.
That's exactly what you're saying. Medicare works great for you, so who cares about the ACA for non-retirees?I'm not saying FYGM at all. I'm just relating the conversation to MY Experiences. Just as you base yours on Your experiences.
That is exactly why John McCain gave the thumbs down in a dramatic fashion.

It's funny how socialized medicine is bad, except when you are a direct beneficiary.
Seriously why can't you just say what you think it means? When someone says uh huh to you in the real world what do you think they mean?
uh huhWhy should I guess when you can just say it. uh huh could mean many things.
Welcome to yesterday
This entire conversation began when the geek claimed Dems only deliver broken promises, and he was directly refuted (#181).

So he pivoted off to Medicare is great for me, but I know diddly about the ACA.
About AC in the southern US
I live on the Gulf Coast. My 18yr old AC units are going out. Replacing the current dual unit system and accessible flexible ducts with new more efficient variable speed units and better insulated (and routed) ducts is costing me $50K and a full 5days of labor. I’m financing it like a car (got 0%apr)
(For reference the hottest day here hit 110F /43.3C humidity ran from 96% but luckily down to 35% during the hottest part of the day)
Pre-existing condition detected.
Variable speed high efficiency 3 ton and 4 ton units installed to windstorm code, new R8 ducts, UV lights, new controllers, and all new registers.$50k for an AC? Does that include gold plated duct work?
Variable speed high efficiency 3 ton and 4 ton units installed to windstorm code, new R8 ducts, UV lights, new controllers, and all new registers.
Next year they are switching from R410A to R454B / R32 which are flammable and will require new systems and certified installers. So it’ll be even more expensive. (15-30%)
yeah when it comes to my next move i am basically ruling out anything southern that requires tons of AC. climate change is a huge factor in where i plan to live/retire nowDude I'd be hauling ass to Minnesota.. I can put another blanket.
50k for air con.. That's like 15-20 years of my DIY projects worth..
This is almost the most idiotic topic I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot especially in the relationships forum.Eggs at Walmart $21 for a 60 pack.. WTF?
2 liter bottle of coke $3.39
New SUV's $80,000+
WTF???
