    Baloney. If you live in Louisiana you can buy insurance from the Healthcare.gov marketplace. If you TRULY can't afford insurance you can get subsidies.

    Hospital says Scalise is in critical condition. I hope that's just common post-op talk.

    No, it's not common post-op talk. If surgery is a success they usually categorize the patient as stable. I hope you're happy.

    I'm not happy. Why would that make me happy?

    My insurance has gone from $565 in 2015, to $1095 in 2016, to $1709 this year. Fuck Obama and his ACA.

    That's $20,508 for my premium with a $9,000 deductible. You call this Affordable Care?


    Now, kiss my ass @Rex

    So, you call "Baloney" when I said my premium had TRIPLED. I proved that it had, and your answer is for the government to pay my premium for me? No thanks, I work for what is mine. Get rid of this fucking government handout called PPACA and let my rate get back to where it was and I will be happy to pay for it.

    As to getting subsidies, even if I wanted them, which I don't, I do not qualify. PPACA has priced people like me out of the market and GIVEN coverage to people who don't pay for it.

    I worked in a General Dynamics call center that is one of 15 that handle all of the calls to Healthcare.gov. I was the number 2 person at said call center for 2 1/2 years. I have personally seen THOUSANDS of examples of freeloaders getting insurance that I was forced to pay for through skyrocketing premiums that I can no longer afford.

    I remember one bitch who was incensed when her premium went from $700 down to $0.42 per month. She could not believe that we wouldn't wave the $0.42. That kind of crap went on all the time.

    I said "baloney" to your entire post... not to the matter of your premium.

    I don't like Rush, either, but Obama isn't a sweet innocent lamb. We're going to have to agree to disagree here, but I feel like race relations regressed under his leadership.
