      Sarah, this is the mother of all laws of unintended consequences. I like OBob’s solution to re-introduce it on an up or down vote. I am sure it would sail right through as he put it.

      I find this comment hilarious considering it’s posted on an insurance website where, barring NH, everyone with a vehicle is required to buy that [auto insurance] product.

        Rosenblatt-Not certain about every state but the majority that I am aware of do not require insurance but rather financial responsibility, which can be satisfied by insurance, a bond or other proof of ability to pay in the event of a loss. Further unlike the ACA which requires purchase of medical if you are alive, one does not have to drive a car, it is a choice that citizens make like so many others.

    Simple solution just insert “1321” and re-introduce the ACA for a vote. I can’t imagine why a law this popular wouldn’t sail right through the 2nd time.

          Been going on a lot longer then ten day or so. Soon as the ACA came to be, instead of pooling our resources for whats important in day to day operations, this has turned the industry into an us against them mentality. I’m all right and your all wrong way of life.

        Bob, we know that is the mantra of liberal Democrats to vote early and often. Several have been convicted of it recently. Not one Republican has ever been charged with voter fraud. If I were to name some dislikers on this forum, Libby, Planet, Boogereater, Celtica & Ron would be at the top of the list. I am generally the least liked of the Conservative side and they hate me, but the feeling is mutual.

            Destro, you will find that the more articles you post on and promote the Conservative ideas, the more you will be attacked by the leftists on this site. Take it from me, they don’t like Conservatives or any Conservative ideas or solutions to the vexing problems of this country. It usually quickly goes into a personal attack since they have no positive ideas to offset ours. Consider some of the posts I have from Boogereater, 102 and Planet, not to mention the now infamous Libby.

            Hey Ron, you keep wanting proof of voter fraud. You should go on Townhall.com today and read about the widespread voter fraud in NC as a result of an audit done of voter rolls. Numerous dead people voting, people voting in more than one state and it is a large number. You are an idiot thinking this has not been going on with elections and it having an impact on how elections come out.

            that “agreed” was meant for FFA’s comment above.

            The issue with the like/dislike is that when you have an organic vote of say 9+/2- (generally meaning a well liked or accepted comment) and then you have some kind of concerted effort to spam-vote those comments negative it hides the comments and distorts the reality of the discourse.

      Always, they just delayed the sign up once again since they can’t get their numbers. When will they just extend it to the rest of the year? They are up to 31 changes/delays now.

          Isn’t 4-15 the tax day? I thought I heard it was through April, but I could be wrong about that. This is going to give the wonderful IRS trouble on the subsidies etc and how to apply the fines, when someone signs up etc. They will probably cherry pick returns of Conservatives since that is how they operate. You may even get audited again FFA. Won’t that be fun?

          FFA, Blue Cross just announced that 15-20% of enrollees into their system have not paid their premiums. If that holds true with other carriers, over one million have not completed the enrollment process and do not have insurance. I guess that puts a little damper on the Obama victory dance. I hope your lady that had the C-section had paid her premium.

            She did pay it when I pushed the ap in. However, govt did not transfer the money over and she had to pay an additional month. As far as I can tell, BCBS never got that first month from the govt.

            I wonder how many of them 15 – 20% paid in govt site and govt are just holding the premium.

            So what you are saying FFA that the government has a big pile of checks on bureaucrats desks and never transferred to the carriers. Can they be any more inefficient? Can’t build a website that works, can’t handle the payment of premiums, can’t honor policies they supposedly put in force. I had a call today from a lady trying to get coverage since her policy had been cancelled. She promptly got sticker shock since they didn’t qualify for a subsidy. She and husband are in their mid fifties. I won’t tell you what she told me on the phone, but your term for it is very mild by comparison.

    Just got off the phone with a commercial client of mine. She filled out a Shop Application in November and never heard back. Her employees have been calling, getting quotes on the individual plans.
    Today, she called the 800 number. The navigator told her that the application was approved and she did not respond to the coverage offer.

    Her first question was about the status of the Shop Program which OBama delayed. The navigator told her it was viable and ready to roll.
    I guess they got good training.

        Paranoid much?

        Actually, I am concerned. He had a rough time not too long ago and I just worried that something else had gone wrong. That’s why I asked if anyone had seen him post on other articles, since it’s possible I just didn’t read the same articles.

      He usually pops in around the end of the week, but I don’t remember seeing anything from him last week. I was hoping I just missed him because I didn’t have much time to lurk last week.

    From the news, Obama had been at the G 7 summit. All I could think of is that it must have been nice for him to put a face to the voice he has been listening to…

    I’ve never been much of a college sports fan. So I did educate myself on the March Madness brackets. It starts with 84 then drops to 42 and so on down the line. Reminded me of OBamas Approval Rating.

      Has he already kicked Putin out of the G-8 now or has he threatened to sign him up for Obamacare?

        Russia is out. I am sure that will teach him a lesson. Getting kicked out may be enough. I cant support torturing the guy with ofnbama care. May be worse then water boarding him.

        Personally, I just dont understand why we care about that situation. Who here thinks we should stick our nose into another Civil War?

          FFA, If you remember history, Neville Chamberlain, Great Britain Prime Minister approved a deal (appeasement) with Hitler on Austria & Sudetenland when Hitler decided to do some annexing. How did that turn out for Europe and the world? Europe needs to man up and present a united front to Putin or they could all be annexed just like the satellites they were during the cold war. If Obama really wanted to hit Putin in the wallet, just make natural gas available from the US instead of Europe depending on Russian natural gas. We are the world leader in natural gas now and have an almost inexhaustible supply of it. It might also help us on the Balance of Payments deficit we have with Europe as well.

            As much as I’d like to slur Obama on the CCCP2.0 situation, it really is on Europe to stand up and be the ones that champion the situation. I honestly think that WWIII is just around the corner. If you look at the US national debt, the only times it sharply spiked(as it currently is) has been during the Civil War, WWI, The Great Depression, and World WarII.

            And between Russia aggressively injecting themselves into Ukraine and Iran getting closer to the possibility of creating a nuclear weapon it seems like that could be a very real possibility within the next 5-10 years.

            I’m not even worried about Iran using a nuke, but more worried about “losing track” of one and it getting into the hands of neighboring nation’s extremist groups.

            Libby, are you that uninformed? Ever heard of LPG. Tankers can hold that as well and the US has been importing it for years until recently.

        Off topic FFA, but what do you think of your new phenom Kris Bryant with the Cubs? I thought it was odd that he was sent down before the season, but they brought him back up and he looks like the real deal.

        We may not have much to cheer about with the Rangers this year. They lost their two best starters already to injuries and the back ups are not much. You don’t tend to win many games 10-9 in the major leagues.

    One of the Sunday Morn news shows were reporting only 800,000 previously uninsured signed up.

      And Blue Cross admitted that up to 20% of the enrollees actually paid a premium. I agree that it is a relatively low number of previously uninsured actually signed up and how many of those paid? Most were the ones who lost their coverage under the now famous edict or the PreX crowd that had Pool coverage that was also cancelled. They were certainly desperate to get anything they could. Now, reality is setting in. Next up is the Small Groups that will have their rates doubled and decide to throw their employees to the exchanges.

    if congress didnt intend for the subsidies to be availble on the fed exchange, the section 1321 would not have been needed. people can buy insurance without subsidies at a insurance companies website.

      dennis, we know people can sign up on an insurance website without subsidies. The problem is cost. They do like those subsidies to be deducted and many have overstated their income to max out the subsidy and they will probably get audited by IRS and have to pay them back for trying to game the system.
