“Don’t take it personal Michael. Kids will be kids. They don’t want to accept the responsibility of perpetuating fraud on the public.

Ever so sensitive to labels like: Obamcare, the liberals would never use something like that, or call someone a teabagger, nope.

You think they’re cranky now, wait until November.”

Excellent post.
.
Like Kids, the left must blame someone besides themselves for the fact that no one loves them but themselves.
.
November will be great.

The “deficit reduction” was based on fraud. They counted 10 years of new taxes and only 6 years of expenses. Furthermore, they counted on revenue that then knew was not real. Such as the reduction in fees paid for medicare that would have destroyed medicare. So any claim of deficit reduction is a lie.

Obamacare weill destroy the current healthcare system we have. This is contrary to Obamas promise to let us keep the existing plans. Obamacare kills the existing plans by adding additional requirements to all insurances and by making it much cheaper for businesses to drop the insurance the provide to their employees.

The liberals/progressives never pass up a chance to force their will on that of the people. They know better than everyone else so they passed Obamacare over the opposition of the majority of US citizens. Then the attacked those who expressed disagreement calling them Nazis, astrotruf and pawns of the wealthy evil insurance companies. Now they are trying to ban plastic shopping bags and tax paper bags because they know better than the people. Oh, and my favorite, they are trying to ban free toys with kid’s meals. They also want to force people to live in small boxes packed together like sardines and only ride public transit because they know better and have the power to force their will on the rest of us. They love the Cap & Trade bill because it will give them control of just about everything we do. They have a lot in common with the fascists and communists.

Another great example of their arrogance is how they “interpret the second amendment” to mean, not what is clear states, but support their views that guns should be banned. There is no limit to their arrogance and fascist nature.

The White House weighed in Tuesday, condemning Anthem corporate parent WellPoint Inc. and others that plan to stop selling child-only policies.”

If this particular problem of children only policies continues or gets worse and is already visible to the white house and Democrats in congress, the next step – within the next year if we keep the majority – is a correction of this problem through amendments to the law.
.
Except for New Deal job programs like the WPA, the CCC and so on, which were abolished due to responding to the opposite problem from unemployment to preparing for war, find me any examples of programs which shrank, were abolished or did not expand.
.
This has been my thesis all along and how it differs from yours. Single payer, after 97 years, has it’s toe in the door. That toe is not going to get cut off. It will, within ten years, be a full foot in the door and, possibly, due to the problems of not having a public option, have a full foot in the door with a public option.
.
It’s an evolution, not a revolution.
.
In my own interpretation of history, most things, even political revolution, evolve slowly rather than coming out of the womb as a fully formed adult.

Ever so sensitive to labels like: Obamcare, the liberals would never use something like that, or call someone a teabagger, nope.

“The action will apply only to new coverage sought for children and not to existing child-only plans, family policies or insurance provided to youngsters through their parents’ employers….
…The insurers said they now sell relatively few child-only policies, and thus the changes will have a small effect on families.”
.
I see one thing for you and one thing for Stuart.
.
1) For Chief, this will impact very few people since most people insure both themselves and their children. If these people work for companies which prefer getting health care insurance rather than the tax, the harm will promptly be undone.
.
2) For Stuart, as the link says, congress has already condemned this action. What I read is, if Democrats get a majority, congress will close this loophole as a small part of a long evolution towards single payer.

Oh REALLY?

Big health insurers to stop selling new child-only policies
Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna Inc. and others say they will make the move as soon as Thursday when parts of the new healthcare law take effect. They cite potentially huge and unexpected costs for insuring children.

Looks like Medicare might be cut too.

Oh and the premiums for health insurance will be raised soon too.

Haven’t you figured this out yet??? WHY is there a 4 year lag time between the government sponsored healthcare and the taxes collected to deal with it if healthcare costs won’t go up “one thin dime”?

Because it’s a waiting game. Those with catastrophic diseases will now get healthcare at normal rates…so ALL the rates will go up. Once that happens, people will shop for a better rate…until the insurance company they had goes out of business. Then the process happens again and again…UNTIL only the RICH will be able to afford private healthcare insurance…and the rest of the population will have to be on government health care.

BTW, just HOW did these children survive BEFORE this law was inacted?

Oh and you didn’t see the little blurb in the law that states those under age 14 or older than 60 have to have a review of their conditions in front of a board, which will do essentially a cost/benefit analysis as to whether or not it is economically sound for the government to finance someone’s treatments.

Before, you could sue the private institution if they didn’t treat you…good LUCK suing the federal government.
