Im already doing that to my fiancee's kid. The shit we used to be able to do in the 80s and 90s would land us in jail today.

Good thing there is mental health coverage as part of Obamacare. Make your first appointment for Jan 2nd.Oh yes, the holy grail of liberal/progressivism is a plan made by the Heritage Foundation to preserve free market incentives, pricing mechanisms, and corporate profits.
In reality, it's a GOP plan put forth as a compromise, and a sizable part of the opposition to Obamacare is from people who realize that we would be much, much better off with the same system as the rest of the first world enjoys.
All that said, it's still a LONG way from irretrievably 'failing.' It's definitely flawed, but if the Congress was willing to be grown-ups, it could pass fixes for lots of its flaws right now (and more as new problems reveal themselves). It could fail. But it will take at least a half-decade more to tell, probably more like 10-15 years. Considering there is no alternative out there other than a truly irretrievably fucked status quo ante and single-payer, I doubt there's going to be any change until it's had a good long opportunity to find its legs. As much as Fox wants you to believe the whole nation is hopping mad about it, most people don't really care that much right now, and will form their opinions slowly instead of regurgitating talking points about it.
That was actually a Reagan quote warning about Medicare
Of course now, the Republican base says things like "Government hands off my Medicare."
A correction. Idiot republicans talk about keeping govt hands off their medicare.
The "smart" ones talk about converting Medicare into a private insurance exchange with subsidies.

I'm not sure we disagree here since the article specifically says the success rate in the private sector is 10%. Though I'm not sure what your point would now be based on your original comment that "most" don't have $300M and 3 years.
I disagree, it's better than not for insurance markets to have more participants.
And nothing that happens now with Obamacare, good or bad, means anything particularly meaningful in the long-term. We'll know more in a year, so that's a good starting point I suppose. But any preliminary public data we're getting now is mostly useless. In 3 or 4 years we'll have some great data and deal with the reality then.
"Functional" as in people can buy insurance on healthcare.gov. It has indeed happened. That's at least partway functional though I agree nowhere near adequate. But everyone intelligent knows this is temporary and fixable so it's moot.
"Anyone who has written a line of code or built a system from the ground-up cannot be surprised or even mildly concerned that Healthcare.gov did not work out of the gate, Standish Group International Chairman Jim Johnson said in a recent podcast. The real news would have been if it actually did work. The very fact that most of it did work at all is a success in itself."
get rid of medicare.
have everyone on obamamcare. use medicare taxes to substidize the premiums for the old
And how will they pay for the $3-10k deductibles.
And the income cutoff for Medicaid $4K for a family of 2:|if they cant pay it, then they should qualify for Medicaid.
if they have too much $ for mediciad, then they can pay the up to $6k deductible.
($6k is max under obamacare)
The Griffins, who live near Philadelphia, pay $770 monthly for their soon-to-be-terminated health care plan with a $2,500 deductible. The cheapest plan they found on their state insurance exchange was a so-called bronze plan charging a $1,275 monthly premium with deductibles totaling $12,700. It covers only providers in Pennsylvania, so the couple, who live near Delaware, won't be able to see doctors they've used for more than a decade.
Can someone explain two things to me? One, how can you live near both Philadelphia and Delaware? And two, how do you pay almost $1300 a month for a bronze level plan when a silver one looks to run about $600? TIA

HELLOOOOOOO!!! WAKE UPPPP! THEY DO NOT CARE! IT"S YOUR MONEY!
This is how it is.Let's see someone argue the reality now.
Really? You so badly want everyone to know you really, really, really suck at math that you posted this in two threads? You should sue your math teacher for malpractice.yep..brilliant! (IF your goal is to hurt the USA)

Another Edit: It looks like you might be able to deduct your health insurance premiums if you have an individual policy. So if your premiums take you back under the threshold for a subsidy a tax adjustment could be possibly be made. Does anyone know for sure?

Hint: $360 million for 317 million people is NOT one million dollars per person. It's not even $1,000 per person. It's under $1.14 per person, as in one dollar and 14 cents.
If he were to fire Valerie Jarrett, who would take over? Somebody has to make the decisions.Interesting article in Forbes (Need to click through an ad )
What a tangled web is woven when politics are put above the good of the nation.
Another example of Obama letting his staffers run the country. :thumbsdown:
Some data on premium increases has come out.
