Hi FFA. The left will just say it is another reason why we need Universal Health Care with total government control.
By the way, Brandon Weeden found out why he is not a starting quarterback in the NFL. 9th straight loss as a starter, no clue what to do in the second half, no rallying the troops in the fourth quarter like Romo has done repeatedly. Time to get Casell off the bench and work him in. If Weeden started the next 5 games, the team is sure to be 2-6.
Hey Ron, you should now vote for Trump. He came out with his tax proposals today. You are now safe from paying any taxes in the future.
1. An individual making $25,000 or less pays no taxes. A couple making $50,000 or less pay no taxes.
2. Corporate taxes to be reduced from 35% to 15%.
3. Individual Rates for high earners from 39.6% to 25% and cut out the loopholes for the super rich.
4. Simplified tax brackets from 7 to 4.
5. For all that money moved offshore in recent years, if it is brought back for investment, a one time 10% tax.
Of course, we need to restore discipline at the Federal Government and eliminate a lot of useless programs and waste and pork. That is why Trump resonates. Enough political double talk. It is time to create some jobs and get the economy off the idiocy of 1-2% growth and into a robust 4-5% growth and there will be plenty of revenue to pay the bills without borrowing from China and creating more debt.
I am not safe. Obviously you are making a false assumption regarding my income.
He wants to increase my taxes so his and yours can be reduced. Just another wealth redistribution scheme.
As I have said before, I have no problem paying taxes as long as you have no problem with money being taken out of the private sector and handed over to the government.
His proposal will reduce revenues by ~$700 Billion per year. There is not that much waste, loopholes and projected growth to make up that difference. His proposal will increase the debt and annual deficits, period.
Do you honestly believe Congress will reduce spending by that much? You do realize the president controls very little of the annual spending, right? And you call me naive.

He hasn’t forgotten about them.
And the wording you do there is hilarious, considering you’re in insurance.
Study more.
No actual moderate in the insurance world wants Universal Health Care, administered by private companies. This is a slogan that was used by some who compared the Canadian structure, which still has private doctors, paid by the government. It was mostly used in the political left, so I’m beginning to have my spidey senses tingle. Are you even in insurance, or is Agent right, and you’re a paid activist for the liberal left?
The government does remove money from every dollar received. It is debatable, but let’s say 10%.
Insurance companies do invest and pay out more than 1 dollar for every dollar received, grow the economy, grow capital, and everyone benefits.
The proper system is not a “universal” also known as “single payer” and it is not a moderate system the one you just mentioned. I have a fair level of confidence you’re talking about a single payer, given the way you worded it.
The proper system, well, was the one the republicans suggested. Go look it up, I’m not posting it for you again.
$5,000 medical debit for buying insurance for the poor.
A tax credit for those who buy insurance, instead of a subsidy. This makes it linked to work. That’s the most important part. So instead of receiving a subsidy based on how low of a potentially non existent income you have, it’s linked to a credit for working and a debit card for those without work.
Universal Healthcare or Single Payer is the only program that is a solution for every complaint about health care, including the VA.
I know the Republican plan and I like some of their ideas. However, they do not address all of the issues in healthcare.
How does the Republican plan guarantee coverage for all citizens, allow complete freedom for anyone, including Veterans, to go to any doctor, hospital, clinic, lab, etc. without having to worry about being in-network, eliminate co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance, alleviate employers from having to offer medical insurance as a benefit to attract talent or expand hiring, allow people to retire early (instead of waiting to qualify for Medicare) and open more positions for young people looking for jobs and others looking for promotions, eliminate hospitals from either chasing people down who came into the emergency room without coverage or just writing it off as a loss, and take advantage of cost savings by purchasing prescriptions in bulk? That is the Best of the Best.
Do you honestly think the working poor, those who do not qualify for Medicaid, can afford decent insurance that costs ~10-12,000 per year for a family with $5,000? How do they come up with the additional $5-7,000 when they are living paycheck-to-paycheck without any insurance?

Bob, you may have hit on something that I hadn’t thought of before saying Ron may be a paid activist for the left. We know he voted for Obama twice so that makes sense. He couldn’t possibly be in our industry or he would have been more on our side for the past 5 years. He is just a big government, single payer advocate who really likes that Progressive Tax code which guarantees him that he will not pay any federal income tax at the expense of soaking the better off in our society. He is so inept that he doesn’t even realize that Trump is helping out the lower and middle class and business, all at the same time. God forbid that we make the system fair and actually stimulate the economy and create some jobs and more actual taxpayers.
Bob, we have been hammering away at Ron for several years now on his misunderstanding of how Capitalism is the best engine of economic growth the world has ever seen. He still prefers Socialism, give a ways and all the other bad things it generates because he is a true believer. There is nothing moderate in his views.

Every industrialized country in the world has a universal healthcare system, and every single one of them pay half as much than we do for it. Given this fact, why do you continue to defend our for-profit system? Why advocate for a system where we pay more money to get the same service? I could understand if the US had substantially better outcomes, but we don’t. In study after study, the US has been shown to lag behind our peers in healthcare outcomes.
So why keep throwing good money after bad? The results of this for-profit healthcare system experiment are in. We pay twice as much for it and even the most optimistic massaging of the data shows that our outcomes are no better.
Be a rational consumer. Let’s say you get a craving for some Doritos while thumbing through the weekly ads for local grocery stores. You see the ad for Aldi advertising Doritos for $3.50 per bag. You bought the same size bag of Doritos at Whole Foods just yesterday for $7.00. You check the pantry and notice it’s gone already. The kids or the wife must have gotten to it. Are you going to go buy a bag of Doritos at Whole Foods again, or are you going to go down to Aldi and pay half as much for the same product?

you know agent, if a veteran quarterback who has started games in the NFL cannot beat out a rookie for the starting job, there is something wrong with that picture. There is a reason why a player is expendable and either is cut or traded for a low round draft choice.
this is what you said about cassel 5 days ago but now i guess you are fully on bard the cassel train
Ineptitude is ineptitude. You, of all people should understand that. Weeden has had two years to get the plays down now. He looked every bit as confused as a rookie just drafted. In fact, the practice squad quarterback had a better command of the offense in pre-season. He can also run and extend plays when the protection breaks down. If not Cassel, put the rookie in. They are going nowhere with Weeden.

Hey FFA, no doubt Rodgers is either 1 or 2 on the quarterback rankings. He shows it with every game. I wonder why he hasn’t won a Superbowl yet. Puzzling to say the least.
There is a reason why QBs like Trent Dilfer, Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler, Brad Johnson, and Eli Manning have won Super Bowls and Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon, Tony Romo and Donovan McNabb have not. Teams win and loss games, including Super Bowls, not QBs.
Ron, looks like he thumbed us down. In the old days, our facts would have been hidden. It’s not a big deal. So, he forgot Rodgers has won, so what? Heck, Aikman has even forgot a couple Super Bowls he won, too.
I love how this article just downplays the fact that this administration just PISSED AWAY $265M OF OUR MONEY!!!!!
This is absolute BS. How many more of these start-ups that received ridiculous taxpayer support will be folded? All of a sudden this health insurance scam will cost us Americans so much more in taxes and premiums. Allowing a moron like Obama and his squadron of dumb asses at HHS to craft and pass such a law will prove to be one of the worst mistakes in out nation’s history. Infuriating!
Well, that number was listed in the first sentence of the first paragraph and the first sentence under the “Obamacare Loans” section. I don’t think the article really tried to downplay or hide that information.
“Allowing a moron like Obama and his squadron of dumb asses”
I think swearing and personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site
Careful UW, you will offend the liberals on this site that can’t stand that their belief system has been such a colossal failure.

Just curious which was a bigger expense. The PPACA or 2 unnecessary wars. Also, how many lives were lost and/or affected by those wars? That’s what real mistakes look like. The mistake of the PPACA was the failure to incorporate at least a public option. Also, why would a Democratic President think he can take the Heritage Foundation’s answer to Hillarycare and make it popular with the party who was for it before they were against it? The Republican Party heads met at The Caucus Room Restaurant the night of President Obama’s inauguration and pledged to not only oppose our President at all costs, but to do all they could to make him a 1 term President. http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/03/The-Conspiracy-to-Commit-Legislative-Constipation
Just think of all the money that was spent on Obamacare to get it going just to watch it fail, what a wasteful bunch of crap and politicians! It’s like they think money grows on trees and don’t have a clue about finance. Can’t wait for 2016
My ( disabled) sister just waded through the ACA insurance maze, and it wasn’t easy. Finally signed up with this company in order to keep her current doctors. That was 3 days ago, so obviously they are still accepting new customers with a shut down in progress? Now I read this…..what a disaster.
Actually Ron, she is making the case for no more government control of the Healthcare System in the USA since yes, they are totally inept, inefficient, wasteful and are big time liers.
If you like your plan you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep him. The average family will save $2,500 each year on their premiums. BHO
Ron, one of the dozens of disagreements I have with you is that I don’t trust a big, bloated government to do the right thing for the American people and you are all too happy to trust them on about anything and you worry about IRS employees losing their jobs over wrongdoing.
Do you never read or see the news at all about what is going on or do you just stick with MSNBC or Media Matters. You are much like an Ostrich that sticks it’s head in the sand and says – Don’t tell me that, I don’t want to know how bad it is.

I notice that you never apply the same skepticism about government control and inefficiency to our military. Talk about a bloated, wasteful organization. We’re throwing away $1 trillion alone on the F-35 jet, and it lost in a dogfight against the F-16, a plane that was developed 40 years ago. And that’s just one program.
Are you ready to scrap our expensive, wasteful, socialist military and start paying private companies like Blackwater to provide for our national defense? After all, you don’t want no government controlling anything. The private sector is always better and more efficient, right?
Hi Dave. Yes, Ron loves the government and thinks they have done a wonderful job on infrastructure, education, military and Healthcare???????? We saw how much Obama has improved infrastructure with that wonderful Stimulus and how many shovel ready jobs were created. We know he likes Common Core on the education front and that is a disaster as well.
I am all for having a strong military, but the way contracts are let with the Defense Dept to provide anything without cost overruns is a joke. They still pay $150 for a toilet seat when you can get them at Lowe’s for 10% of that.

Ron, please accept the following quote in the spirit given.
“Government has three primary functions. It should provide for the national defense of the nation. It should enforce contracts between individuals. It should protect citizens from crimes against themselves or their property. When government — in pursuit of good intentions tries to re-arrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interest groups, the cost comes inefficiency, lack of motivation, and the loss of freedom. Government should be the referee, not an active player”. Milton Friedman
The Government you love so much has gotten way too big for their britches, try to regulate and run everything and do a very poor job of that and no wonder we run such huge deficits and it is so unresponsive to the needs of the people. And you want Single Payer Health! What a joke.
Like I said, if you can outline how the Republican plan would solve all of the problems of our current healthcare system, including improvements in care for our Veterans, I am all ears. As i have laid out, Universal Healthcare does.
When the private sector fails to provide needed services to the people, that is when the government must step in. A few examples, military, roads, flood insurance, and the Internet.
Agent has no interest in real solutions, he lives in a fantasy land called “Texas.”

Ha, Agent, you dummy, Ive actually been promoted twice since I last engaged this prestigous corner of the internet. I probably make more than you now, but guess what, I dont mind paying taxes because I am an American, not a blood sucking leech like yourself.

There’s too many to respond to individually, so I’ll say this here to encompass all of the above nastiness — I think swears and/or personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site. That goes out mainly to Stan and Agent at this time.
Stan, I think swears and/or personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site…but you already knew that.
Agent – can you please confirm you agree I did not call bob an angry little man, nor did I insult him or anyone else in any way in my replies above. I want to make sure you agree that I am not being a hypocrite and I did not violate my own stance. Please confirm I did not insult bob like you originally claimed I did.
agent, we are waiting with baited breath. you slandered rosenblatt, claimed he insulted bob when he did not, and have been called out on your error. it will go a long way in the minds of progressive socialists if you respond to him as an adult, admit your error and apologize to him for your mistake in no uncertain terms. it is okay to do that – no person is infallible after all.
Since Agent has been proven wrong, again, we will not see anymore comments from him on this thread. If you try to bring up these errors of his on another thread, he will accuse you of detracting.
That may or may not be considered a personal attack, but it is definitely the truth.
I may be parsing words here (parsing was written to entice Agent to reply), but to me, there’s a difference between a personal attack and just speaking the truth.
If Agent doesn’t reply and accuses me of trying to change the subject in a future article, your assessment is valid; therefore, your post would not be a personal attack so much as it is a factual statement about Agent’s actions (or lack thereof) which can be supported by evidence.
What we are witnessing is the initial stages of a well-planned scheme for the Feds to control the health care industry. Obamacare was specifically designed to fail so that the subsequent ‘crisis’ will be solved by total control via national health care. Hello third world- here we are!
We knew it would fail, as it was designed to. Wonder where we would be right now if we had one bill stating that a person could buy healthcare across state lines?
Good point DC, but that is only one item that should have been corrected. The law should never have been written by Progressive Leftists to start with, putting in a number of mandates, fining/taxing people if they didn’t buy it, putting in no Tort Reform or promising/lying to people they could keep their plan if they liked it or saving the average family $2,500 per year on their premiums. This is the greatest hoax put over on the American people ever passed (purely partisan)and some people have the guts to say that if we had Universal Government Run Healthcare, it would solve all the problems. Government is the problem, not the solution.
Are you advocating for federal regulation of health insurance? If not, please explain what you mean?
In addition, take some responsibility and admit when you are wrong.
Remember when you said, “Hey FFA, no doubt Rodgers is either 1 or 2 on the quarterback rankings. He shows it with every game. I wonder why he hasn’t won a Superbowl yet. Puzzling to say the least.”, even though he (the Packers) did win a Super Bowl in 2010?
Also, you falsely accused Rosenblatt of calling bob an “angry little man” even though it was BS who did and Rosenblatt was only holding BS accountable.
Actually Ron, we are advocating that Progressive Socialists have “no” say in designing the Healthcare of all Americans. They have made a big enough mess and the cost is staggering.
I have a policy and Health Republic still hasn’t notified me. Where did all the money go??? Doesn’t anybody look into that?? It sounds like it was a scam all along.
Well, I think we knew this would be coming. Thank you very much Obamacare.. what a joke.
What that song by Queen??? Another on Bites the dust…. No wait, $265 mill bites the dust.
Hi FFA. The left will just say it is another reason why we need Universal Health Care with total government control.
By the way, Brandon Weeden found out why he is not a starting quarterback in the NFL. 9th straight loss as a starter, no clue what to do in the second half, no rallying the troops in the fourth quarter like Romo has done repeatedly. Time to get Casell off the bench and work him in. If Weeden started the next 5 games, the team is sure to be 2-6.
Agent,
Don’t forget about us Independents who also want Universal Health Care, administered by private companies.
Hey Ron, you should now vote for Trump. He came out with his tax proposals today. You are now safe from paying any taxes in the future.
1. An individual making $25,000 or less pays no taxes. A couple making $50,000 or less pay no taxes.
2. Corporate taxes to be reduced from 35% to 15%.
3. Individual Rates for high earners from 39.6% to 25% and cut out the loopholes for the super rich.
4. Simplified tax brackets from 7 to 4.
5. For all that money moved offshore in recent years, if it is brought back for investment, a one time 10% tax.
Of course, we need to restore discipline at the Federal Government and eliminate a lot of useless programs and waste and pork. That is why Trump resonates. Enough political double talk. It is time to create some jobs and get the economy off the idiocy of 1-2% growth and into a robust 4-5% growth and there will be plenty of revenue to pay the bills without borrowing from China and creating more debt.
Agent,
I am not safe. Obviously you are making a false assumption regarding my income.
He wants to increase my taxes so his and yours can be reduced. Just another wealth redistribution scheme.
As I have said before, I have no problem paying taxes as long as you have no problem with money being taken out of the private sector and handed over to the government.
His proposal will reduce revenues by ~$700 Billion per year. There is not that much waste, loopholes and projected growth to make up that difference. His proposal will increase the debt and annual deficits, period.
Do you honestly believe Congress will reduce spending by that much? You do realize the president controls very little of the annual spending, right? And you call me naive.
He hasn’t forgotten about them.
And the wording you do there is hilarious, considering you’re in insurance.
Study more.
No actual moderate in the insurance world wants Universal Health Care, administered by private companies. This is a slogan that was used by some who compared the Canadian structure, which still has private doctors, paid by the government. It was mostly used in the political left, so I’m beginning to have my spidey senses tingle. Are you even in insurance, or is Agent right, and you’re a paid activist for the liberal left?
The government does remove money from every dollar received. It is debatable, but let’s say 10%.
Insurance companies do invest and pay out more than 1 dollar for every dollar received, grow the economy, grow capital, and everyone benefits.
The proper system is not a “universal” also known as “single payer” and it is not a moderate system the one you just mentioned. I have a fair level of confidence you’re talking about a single payer, given the way you worded it.
The proper system, well, was the one the republicans suggested. Go look it up, I’m not posting it for you again.
$5,000 medical debit for buying insurance for the poor.
A tax credit for those who buy insurance, instead of a subsidy. This makes it linked to work. That’s the most important part. So instead of receiving a subsidy based on how low of a potentially non existent income you have, it’s linked to a credit for working and a debit card for those without work.
Best of the best.
bob,
Universal Healthcare or Single Payer is the only program that is a solution for every complaint about health care, including the VA.
I know the Republican plan and I like some of their ideas. However, they do not address all of the issues in healthcare.
How does the Republican plan guarantee coverage for all citizens, allow complete freedom for anyone, including Veterans, to go to any doctor, hospital, clinic, lab, etc. without having to worry about being in-network, eliminate co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance, alleviate employers from having to offer medical insurance as a benefit to attract talent or expand hiring, allow people to retire early (instead of waiting to qualify for Medicare) and open more positions for young people looking for jobs and others looking for promotions, eliminate hospitals from either chasing people down who came into the emergency room without coverage or just writing it off as a loss, and take advantage of cost savings by purchasing prescriptions in bulk? That is the Best of the Best.
Do you honestly think the working poor, those who do not qualify for Medicaid, can afford decent insurance that costs ~10-12,000 per year for a family with $5,000? How do they come up with the additional $5-7,000 when they are living paycheck-to-paycheck without any insurance?
Bob, you may have hit on something that I hadn’t thought of before saying Ron may be a paid activist for the left. We know he voted for Obama twice so that makes sense. He couldn’t possibly be in our industry or he would have been more on our side for the past 5 years. He is just a big government, single payer advocate who really likes that Progressive Tax code which guarantees him that he will not pay any federal income tax at the expense of soaking the better off in our society. He is so inept that he doesn’t even realize that Trump is helping out the lower and middle class and business, all at the same time. God forbid that we make the system fair and actually stimulate the economy and create some jobs and more actual taxpayers.
Bob, we have been hammering away at Ron for several years now on his misunderstanding of how Capitalism is the best engine of economic growth the world has ever seen. He still prefers Socialism, give a ways and all the other bad things it generates because he is a true believer. There is nothing moderate in his views.
Every industrialized country in the world has a universal healthcare system, and every single one of them pay half as much than we do for it. Given this fact, why do you continue to defend our for-profit system? Why advocate for a system where we pay more money to get the same service? I could understand if the US had substantially better outcomes, but we don’t. In study after study, the US has been shown to lag behind our peers in healthcare outcomes.
So why keep throwing good money after bad? The results of this for-profit healthcare system experiment are in. We pay twice as much for it and even the most optimistic massaging of the data shows that our outcomes are no better.
Be a rational consumer. Let’s say you get a craving for some Doritos while thumbing through the weekly ads for local grocery stores. You see the ad for Aldi advertising Doritos for $3.50 per bag. You bought the same size bag of Doritos at Whole Foods just yesterday for $7.00. You check the pantry and notice it’s gone already. The kids or the wife must have gotten to it. Are you going to go buy a bag of Doritos at Whole Foods again, or are you going to go down to Aldi and pay half as much for the same product?
“He is so inept”
I think swears and/or personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site, Agent.
Agent,
You said, “Bob, you may have hit on something that I hadn’t thought of before saying Ron may be a paid activist for the left.” I could have said that you are a paid activist for the right. What is the difference?
I believe I have proven time and again that I know insurance. Agent, you are the one who consistent fails to answer simple insurance questions I pose to you regarding pricing and underwriting and spew misinformation.
You said” He still prefers Socialism, give a ways and all the other bad things it generates because he is a true believer.” LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, you guys are still bitching about this? Didnt you realize that the world moved on and that Hilary has already been crowned as the next president? Trump is going to scuttle the GOP because he’s willing to talk about immigration and the religious right is unwilling to put a moderate on the ticket.
ITS OVER.
bahahahahaha get ready for hillarycare! suck it, Agent.
Hey Bob, Rosenblatt called you an “angry little man”. So much for toning down the rhetoric and calling out people for insults. He is violating his own stance. You apparently bring out the worst in him.
That was actually me, Agent.
Rosenblatt called me out on it, and I re-phrased my comment.
Shocker, Agent cant comprehend written sentences that are right in front of his face. And yet he wants to be the one to pick the president. lol
Work on internet commenting 101 before you spout off next time, Agent.
Agent – please confirm you agree I did not call bob an angry little man like you claim I did. I do not want you incorrectly thinking I called anyone a negative name, which would make me a hypocrite when I reply to others who have done such a thing saying swears and/or personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site. Please confirm I did not insult bob like you claim I did./i>
you know agent, if a veteran quarterback who has started games in the NFL cannot beat out a rookie for the starting job, there is something wrong with that picture. There is a reason why a player is expendable and either is cut or traded for a low round draft choice.
this is what you said about cassel 5 days ago but now i guess you are fully on bard the cassel train
Ineptitude is ineptitude. You, of all people should understand that. Weeden has had two years to get the plays down now. He looked every bit as confused as a rookie just drafted. In fact, the practice squad quarterback had a better command of the offense in pre-season. He can also run and extend plays when the protection breaks down. If not Cassel, put the rookie in. They are going nowhere with Weeden.
“Ineptitude is ineptitude. You, of all people should understand that.”
I think swearing and personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site.
FALSE, EQUIVALENCY.
Do you not see what you did there?
You made a blatant lie about Agent true by saying the crucial “and”. You equivocated the two.
Good God Rosenblatt, just knock it off.
Agent is passionate in his politics but is far more accurate than any leftist on this site, inclusive of you and Ron.
You are correct bob – I’m sorry I wrote that phrase in its entirety. While you should know Agent has agreed I should use that phrase when people make personal attacks or swear, I should have amended it this time and I did not. For that, I am sorry I was wrong. Let me try again.
“Ineptitude is ineptitude. You, of all people should understand that.”
I think personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site, Agent.
Rosenblatt, going forward, just change “and” to “and/or” and you won’t need to worry about amending anything.
Of course, Bob will still find something to yell at you about, because he’s an angry little man who has an almost pathological urge to pick fights on the internet. But what can you expect from someone who throws around terms like ‘false equivalency’ even though it appears that he doesn’t really understand what it means?
Thanks BS – good suggestion. I’ve had many conversations with bob, so while I didn’t appreciate his tone nor was I surprised by it, he was correct that my statement was literally incorrect.
“he’s an angry little man who has an almost pathological urge to pick fights on the internet.”
I think the use of swears and/or personal attacks is immature and has no place on this site, BS.
See? The and/or works so much better, doesn’t it? ;)
Rosenblatt, word parsing is a bad trait. There is no place for it on this site. If you have valid points to make, make them. Your only contribution to this blog is to demean someone else and condemn them. How about you making an argument on why you like Single Payer like Ron does or do you not believe as he does? If you don’t, tell him you don’t.
Agent – you called someone inept and that is a personal attack. I called you out just like I called out BS for attacking bob.
Please explain how I am word parsing while bearing in mind that you specifically requested that I call out anyone who swears and/or makes personal attacks on this site. I’m just doing what you told me to do. What’s the problem?
And you’re right Rosenblatt. Personal attacks are immature and shouldn’t be on this site. I’ll rephrase:
Of course, Bob will still find something to yell at you about, and will twist a thread about something relatively innocuous – like football – into a warped left vs right debate because that’s how he operates. But what can you expect from someone who throws around terms like ‘false equivalency’ even though it appears that he doesn’t really understand what it means?
Actually Rosenblatt, on 9-29, you called Bob an angry little man. There is no place for that on this blog.
Agent,
If you are referring to his comment at 7:05 PM, he was quoting BS and reprimanding him, just like you requested. If not that post, which one?
Please, just admit that you were wrong and apologize so we can all move on. What ever happened to taking personal responsibility?
Agent, I would never ever call you a “man” in any context. Dont you worry.
That was me Agent, not Rosenblatt.
Hey Agent,
Cowboys Suck.
Romo Sucks.
Dez Sucks.
Keep annoying people about insurance. Don’t talk about your team that was relevant 20 years ago.
So who are you really, Ins102, Planet, Stan, Confused? I could name a number of NFL teams that suck more than the Cowboys. By the way, Romo and Dez are both hurt or don’t you follow the NFL news? Hard for them to suck if they aren’t playing. Also, they did happen to make the playoffs last year and should have beaten the Packers in the playoffs except for the famous non reception that was a reception of Dez.
Agent, im the only Stan out there. Have you thought to consider that perhaps many people hate you and your ideas because they are wrong, hurtful, foolish, and angry? Basically you have lost touch with reality, you and your fox news compadres.
Youre a dying breed friend, we are the future and we are not going to look kindly on dumbass country bumpkins like yourself. Even the republican elites hate you! Youre nothing more than useful rubes who vote against their own self interest.
Stan, if you are the future, this country is in more trouble than I thought. It is bad enough to have had Obama for 7 years. By the way, the Hilliary you love so much, you know, the treasonous witch is almost 70 now and looks every year of it. She has now come out with the “Vast right wing conspiracy theory” again and how did that work out the last time?
was that a sentence Agent? reading comprehension and composition fail if it was. not that it matters, you live in texas so its to be expected lol.
Hey FFA, no doubt Rodgers is either 1 or 2 on the quarterback rankings. He shows it with every game. I wonder why he hasn’t won a Superbowl yet. Puzzling to say the least.
Agent, The Pack won in 2010. Rodgers has won a Super Bowl.
Agent,
Will you finally admit that you were wrong?
There is a reason why QBs like Trent Dilfer, Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler, Brad Johnson, and Eli Manning have won Super Bowls and Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon, Tony Romo and Donovan McNabb have not. Teams win and loss games, including Super Bowls, not QBs.
Ron, looks like he thumbed us down. In the old days, our facts would have been hidden. It’s not a big deal. So, he forgot Rodgers has won, so what? Heck, Aikman has even forgot a couple Super Bowls he won, too.
I love how this article just downplays the fact that this administration just PISSED AWAY $265M OF OUR MONEY!!!!!
This is absolute BS. How many more of these start-ups that received ridiculous taxpayer support will be folded? All of a sudden this health insurance scam will cost us Americans so much more in taxes and premiums. Allowing a moron like Obama and his squadron of dumb asses at HHS to craft and pass such a law will prove to be one of the worst mistakes in out nation’s history. Infuriating!
Well, that number was listed in the first sentence of the first paragraph and the first sentence under the “Obamacare Loans” section. I don’t think the article really tried to downplay or hide that information.
“Allowing a moron like Obama and his squadron of dumb asses”
I think swearing and personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site
Careful UW, you will offend the liberals on this site that can’t stand that their belief system has been such a colossal failure. They also can’t believe that we object to the Socialist agenda brought out by Obama in the last 7 years. Yes, it is infuriating that there are such stupid people in the world. Not to worry, they are not for long now.
“Yes, it is infuriating that there are such stupid people in the world.”
I think swearing and personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site. That’s TWICE in ONE article you initiated the insults Agent.
For what it’s worth, even though I disagree with Agent on what Socialist means, I do object to how Obama is running the country and I never voted for him to be President in either election.
How about you get after Stan for his filthy insulting mouth Rosenblatt? Is he the epitomy of insulting behavior or what?
Agent – I have called out everyone who has swore and/or made a personal attack since you demanded I start doing so, and I’ve even called them out by name. Do me a favor and stop telling me what to do.
Oh Agent, youre such a big pansy. Always complaining about tone. How about this, how about you go home and cry and stay off the internet since youre so sensitive to hyperbole. I bet you were the kind of kid who went home crying and was always upset when the girls didnt pick you since you never had the spine to stand up for yourself.
If you werent 10,000 years old, Id steal your girl and your country.
Agent, why dont you go after me you big pansy? Always needing Rosenblatt to fight your fights for you, just like you need the Supreme Court to win your battles instead of persuading the electorate at large.
Do less for the country, Agent. You cant. You’re such a filthy taker.
yous a snot nose little brat that has yet to accomplish anything except college. Your nasty bitter way of being reduces anything you have to say to babble.
GO CUBS!
Just curious which was a bigger expense. The PPACA or 2 unnecessary wars. Also, how many lives were lost and/or affected by those wars? That’s what real mistakes look like. The mistake of the PPACA was the failure to incorporate at least a public option. Also, why would a Democratic President think he can take the Heritage Foundation’s answer to Hillarycare and make it popular with the party who was for it before they were against it? The Republican Party heads met at The Caucus Room Restaurant the night of President Obama’s inauguration and pledged to not only oppose our President at all costs, but to do all they could to make him a 1 term President.
http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/03/The-Conspiracy-to-Commit-Legislative-Constipation
Planet… We were attacked on our soil. The count of lost lives starts in NY City.
Just think of all the money that was spent on Obamacare to get it going just to watch it fail, what a wasteful bunch of crap and politicians! It’s like they think money grows on trees and don’t have a clue about finance. Can’t wait for 2016
My ( disabled) sister just waded through the ACA insurance maze, and it wasn’t easy. Finally signed up with this company in order to keep her current doctors. That was 3 days ago, so obviously they are still accepting new customers with a shut down in progress? Now I read this…..what a disaster.
Mary,
Thank you for another endorsement for Universal Healthcare.
Actually Ron, she is making the case for no more government control of the Healthcare System in the USA since yes, they are totally inept, inefficient, wasteful and are big time liers.
If you like your plan you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep him. The average family will save $2,500 each year on their premiums. BHO
Agent,
Universal Healthcare would definitely solve Mary’s sister’s dilemma. The old system and/or the Republican plan may or may not.
My plan is not government controlled healthcare, only government paid. The difference may be too nuanced for you to understand. That is OK.
Ron, one of the dozens of disagreements I have with you is that I don’t trust a big, bloated government to do the right thing for the American people and you are all too happy to trust them on about anything and you worry about IRS employees losing their jobs over wrongdoing.
Do you never read or see the news at all about what is going on or do you just stick with MSNBC or Media Matters. You are much like an Ostrich that sticks it’s head in the sand and says – Don’t tell me that, I don’t want to know how bad it is.
Agent,
I do not trust a big, bloated government to do the right thing for everything. In my opinion, some things should not be for profit; public safety, infrastructure, education, military and healthcare. You can privatize everything else.
Like I said, if you can outline how the Republican plan would solve all of the problems of our current healthcare system, including improvements in care for our Veterans, I am all ears.
Nothing will be solved with out addressing the underlying issues.
I notice that you never apply the same skepticism about government control and inefficiency to our military. Talk about a bloated, wasteful organization. We’re throwing away $1 trillion alone on the F-35 jet, and it lost in a dogfight against the F-16, a plane that was developed 40 years ago. And that’s just one program.
Are you ready to scrap our expensive, wasteful, socialist military and start paying private companies like Blackwater to provide for our national defense? After all, you don’t want no government controlling anything. The private sector is always better and more efficient, right?
Hi Dave. Yes, Ron loves the government and thinks they have done a wonderful job on infrastructure, education, military and Healthcare???????? We saw how much Obama has improved infrastructure with that wonderful Stimulus and how many shovel ready jobs were created. We know he likes Common Core on the education front and that is a disaster as well.
I am all for having a strong military, but the way contracts are let with the Defense Dept to provide anything without cost overruns is a joke. They still pay $150 for a toilet seat when you can get them at Lowe’s for 10% of that.
Agent,
Have I ever misrepresented what you believe or put words in your mouth? If I have, provide evidence and I will apologize.
In the meantime, please cease and desist your false characterizations of what I believe.
Dave, I would also pit the F-16 up against any of Putin’s outdated Migs in a dogfight. It may just happen in Syria with both countries sending jets up and Putin helping Assad stay in power.
Ron, please accept the following quote in the spirit given.
“Government has three primary functions. It should provide for the national defense of the nation. It should enforce contracts between individuals. It should protect citizens from crimes against themselves or their property. When government — in pursuit of good intentions tries to re-arrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interest groups, the cost comes inefficiency, lack of motivation, and the loss of freedom. Government should be the referee, not an active player”. Milton Friedman
The Government you love so much has gotten way too big for their britches, try to regulate and run everything and do a very poor job of that and no wonder we run such huge deficits and it is so unresponsive to the needs of the people. And you want Single Payer Health! What a joke.
Agent,
We need solutions, not empty rhetoric.
Like I said, if you can outline how the Republican plan would solve all of the problems of our current healthcare system, including improvements in care for our Veterans, I am all ears. As i have laid out, Universal Healthcare does.
When the private sector fails to provide needed services to the people, that is when the government must step in. A few examples, military, roads, flood insurance, and the Internet.
Agent has no interest in real solutions, he lives in a fantasy land called “Texas.”
Lucky for us, the millennials are figuring out his particular brand of bullshit is suicidal at best and is no way to run a country. Were headed to the Left!
Hillary ’16!
Stan, so you decided to resurrect your filthy mouth again and stop stealing my moniker to post your trash. Did you ever find legal employment or are you still ripping off seniors for their savings? It doesn’t surprise me that you are a Hilliary fan. She fits your mantra to a T. What will you do if she is led off in hand cuffs? Could I hazard a guess of Bernie Sanders?
Ha, Agent, you dummy, Ive actually been promoted twice since I last engaged this prestigous corner of the internet. I probably make more than you now, but guess what, I dont mind paying taxes because I am an American, not a blood sucking leech like yourself. I am not interested in screwing over the rest of my fellow citizens. Yes, you could say that I am the furthest thing there is from a Texan.
Hillary ’16!
Stan, did you know that you are the only leftist on this site that plans to vote for Hilliary? Celtica seems to be long gone now as well as Libby and the others say they wouldn’t vote for her under any circumstances. Of course, we may never see her in a primary anyway since her problems are about to see the light of day. Those emails stored in the “Cloud” will be hard to dodge. You may have to switch to Sanders. He is about like you.
This may be the appropriate time to insert some facts about Forbes census of domestic migration that appeared in 10-14-15 Property Casualty 360 article. They listed cities where people move out from and cities people have been moving to for job opportunities, lower cost of living, recreation opportunities etc. Below are the cities listed.
Cities people are migrating “from” in descending order with #1 being the worst.
10. Milwaukee, Wi
9. Norfolk, Va
8. Los Angeles, Ca
7. Rochester, NY
6. Memphis, Tn
5. Cleveland, Oh
4. Detroit, Mi
3. Hartford, Ct
2. Chicago, Il
1. New York, NY – Over 500,000 have migrated away.
Cities people are migrating “to” in same order
10. Dallas/Ft Worth
9. Oklahoma City, Ok
8. Houston, Tx
7. Orlando, Fl
6. Charlotte, NC
5. Nashville, Tn
4. Denver, Co
3. San Antonio, Tx.
2. Raleigh, NC
1. Austin, Tx.
Gee, I wonder why people want to migrate away from mostly Blue States to go to mostly Red States in an effort to better themselves. Could it be taxation, regulation, cost of living, job opportunities?
There’s too many to respond to individually, so I’ll say this here to encompass all of the above nastiness — I think swears and/or personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site. That goes out mainly to Stan and Agent at this time.
Ok, youre right. Agent, I apologize that youre a dipshit who is ruining this country. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Stan, I think swears and/or personal attacks are immature and have no place on this site…but you already knew that.
Agent – can you please confirm you agree I did not call bob an angry little man, nor did I insult him or anyone else in any way in my replies above. I want to make sure you agree that I am not being a hypocrite and I did not violate my own stance. Please confirm I did not insult bob like you originally claimed I did.
Agent, where are you? Cat got your tongue? Or are you still pouting that you dont get your electoral way?
agent, we are waiting with baited breath. you slandered rosenblatt, claimed he insulted bob when he did not, and have been called out on your error. it will go a long way in the minds of progressive socialists if you respond to him as an adult, admit your error and apologize to him for your mistake in no uncertain terms. it is okay to do that – no person is infallible after all.
Since Agent has been proven wrong, again, we will not see anymore comments from him on this thread. If you try to bring up these errors of his on another thread, he will accuse you of detracting.
That may or may not be considered a personal attack, but it is definitely the truth.
I may be parsing words here (parsing was written to entice Agent to reply), but to me, there’s a difference between a personal attack and just speaking the truth.
If Agent doesn’t reply and accuses me of trying to change the subject in a future article, your assessment is valid; therefore, your post would not be a personal attack so much as it is a factual statement about Agent’s actions (or lack thereof) which can be supported by evidence.
What we are witnessing is the initial stages of a well-planned scheme for the Feds to control the health care industry. Obamacare was specifically designed to fail so that the subsequent ‘crisis’ will be solved by total control via national health care. Hello third world- here we are!
Actually, we are the only first world nation in existence that does not have a national healthcare plan.
And further, I don’t hear those nations saying they want a system like ours.
They just come here.
We knew it would fail, as it was designed to. Wonder where we would be right now if we had one bill stating that a person could buy healthcare across state lines?
Bend over taxpayers.
DC,
Are you advocating for federal regulation of health insurance? If not, please explain what you mean?
Good point DC, but that is only one item that should have been corrected. The law should never have been written by Progressive Leftists to start with, putting in a number of mandates, fining/taxing people if they didn’t buy it, putting in no Tort Reform or promising/lying to people they could keep their plan if they liked it or saving the average family $2,500 per year on their premiums. This is the greatest hoax put over on the American people ever passed (purely partisan)and some people have the guts to say that if we had Universal Government Run Healthcare, it would solve all the problems. Government is the problem, not the solution.
Agent,
I will ask you the same questions:
Are you advocating for federal regulation of health insurance? If not, please explain what you mean?
In addition, take some responsibility and admit when you are wrong.
Remember when you said, “Hey FFA, no doubt Rodgers is either 1 or 2 on the quarterback rankings. He shows it with every game. I wonder why he hasn’t won a Superbowl yet. Puzzling to say the least.”, even though he (the Packers) did win a Super Bowl in 2010?
Also, you falsely accused Rosenblatt of calling bob an “angry little man” even though it was BS who did and Rosenblatt was only holding BS accountable.
Actually Ron, we are advocating that Progressive Socialists have “no” say in designing the Healthcare of all Americans. They have made a big enough mess and the cost is staggering.
I have a policy and Health Republic still hasn’t notified me. Where did all the money go??? Doesn’t anybody look into that?? It sounds like it was a scam all along.
