Re: Romney: It’s Time For Obama ‘To Apologize To America’

Heh? No, the only place roommates may come into play is with shared housing and utilities costs. Other wise, any single adult's "family income" is limited to what they and they alone make. Unless you marry or are married to one of your roommates. Then ou gotta count them too. I suspect we have crickets on that one. :-)

Same goes for their insurance.

All policies on the ACA are FORBIDDEN to NOT cover pre-existing conditions. That' s an important part....probably THE most important part of ACA. Yeah, it's by no means a perfect system but there's still a lot to like here. Right ow you are a single person household with an income of erm and expenses of herp. Feed those numbers (not erm and herp, let's fook around with it later once you have a policy) into the system and see what pops up.

If you're under 26 you can ask your parents if they can put you on their policy.

You do realize that reason that rate is that low, is because that does not include the ones that left the job market?

Yep ... and ACA left it in the hands of the insurance companies instead of adding it to Medicare which is what Teddy Kennedy wanted to do. Who picks the doctors that can be part of the network? Who decides what the insurance plans will be? Not any politician ...

Obama believed what the insurance companies told him when the deal was made. You seem to keep missing the fact that all those "terms and conditions" are made by the insurance companies, not the government.

Now Obama COULD go slap their asses, but then you'd all be crying "commie!" So just bend over and enjoy that "invisible hand of the free marketplace" checking out your prostate. :(

When you have to go back more than 30 years to hopefully make a point, you know you are pushing a losing argument. How much spending power has the middle class lost in the past 6 years? How much is household income for the middle class down in the last 6 years? You are actually going too far, yo! Salaam will agree with you without you having to ask.

It can be fun sometimes. Just down a little way from here is a state facility run by OMRDD (I think they've euphemized and changed the agency name since) and every now and then, one of the "clients" escapes and we have to go out, turn them around and send them back. One of the women stands out there yelling at the cows every day.

So I'm pretty used to dealing with the Train Dudes of the world. It can be fun, but sometimes it gets tiring and you just wish that their keepers weren't so overloaded with work to the point that they don't even notice them missing from the reservation. :)

They thought -- rightly -- that it would poison the possibility of passing any health care reform.

Single payer is synonymous with health care reform. They were worried that supporting health care reform would "poison" the chance of passing health care reform?

Come on, they had complete control of government. If they wanted something passed, they'd have passed it.

Right - so use the exchanges. It's not very hard to do.

Thus far, it's been impossible to do. Besides, it's not like the exchanges will offer any decent plans.

Very. It covers almost the same as my good employer-provided insurance.

That's not really saying much.

My dad is some big-time executive and lobbyist and his insurance is barely any better than mine.

There are higher deductibles and co-pays, but the price is right and it covers most conditions, including pre-existing, thanks to Obamacare.

I'm inclined to doubt it would cover the conditions I currently have.

The network is smaller, but they found very good doctors in the network.

What kind of doctors? Because for me, the "network" contains zero doctors. Period. Not with my current insurance, not with my old insurance, not even with my dad's insurance before I turned 26.

You really need to get on the exchanges next month and look hard for a good policy. It is there.

I found one just across the border in Quebec but they didn't let me use it. :(

South of the border, "good policy" is about as easy to find as antihydrogen— it technically exists but you'd never be able to afford it.
