    As I have said before, I have good friends in the very heart of this mess. I still get newsletters (because they think I am going back to join them..no way) but the latest one, very authoritative, buy copywrited so I wont post it says..........

    The early winners are the INSURANCE COMPANIES...the great satans are raising prices for everyone to cover the expenses of a relatively few uninusreds that have joined, and they are making unprecedented profits. The reason is that few uninsured are signing up, those that the rates were based on, and most signups are people who were OK, but had their insurance cancelled. Once again, the law of unintended consequences.

    The newsletter also states that most of the back end software, claims and billing is not ready. In fact, it is not even started.

    I am not as liberal as RED, but I am pretty liberal. I am really afraid the ACA is going to be such a disaster, over time, that the Looney branch of the GOP will waltz into office and be there forever! ACA is that bad.

    Well unless you post a link they approve of, not point in posting your opinion on a law calling it bad..

    What links? All you said when challenged was "it's common knowledge".

    okay, no piece of serious literature refers to anyone as the "great satans." those that do are often sent out by fringe groups who are trying to scare the holy be-jesus out of people. once again, there is plenty of hear-say but I've yet to see a single shred of solid evidence that points to the ACA being a train wreck. maybe it was lost in translation in your paraphrasing but this doesn't strike me as serious at all.

    Dude is a greedy fucking bastard. His employees should all take turns shitting on his desk. Hell what they should do is take the 7.1 million directly out of his annual salary.

    In my opinion the ACA is nothing more than a capitalistic scam to fatten the pockets of insurance companies.

    The point was to lower health care costs by getting more people in the system, and lessen the amount of ER visits by the non insured. Insure those folks and it should lower the costs for everyone else. But I think that's just a talking point.

    The people who couldn't afford the ER visits aren't going to suddenly have the funds to afford an ER visit. That is what is most perplexing about all of this. We only subsidize them in a different way.
