Have you never seen that done before to set up the context of the response? Without it I don't trust you would know it was in response to something a month ago. I know I dam sure wouldn't scroll back through 20 pages.
I hope red is getting his pap smear before this Obamagasm collapses. President finally engaging in some true acknowledgement of there being a problemo. For that lying bastard to even hint there is trouble, can you imagine how bad it must be? President's approval dropping like a ball bearing.
Apparently, from my health bud roes, the idiots haven't even really got started on the billing system. Billing the correct amount, receiving the correct amount, reconciling the correct amount, and then getting payments right is the hard part. I shudder!

It keeps getting better...........or not........... " National spending on health care is projected to reach a record $2.9 trillion in 2013, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This is more than 25% above pre-recession spending levels in 2007. Health-care expenditures per capita and as a percentage of GDP are also at record highs, expected to top out this year at $9,216 and 18% respectively. The only apparent bright spot is that the average annual rate of health-care spending increases has slowed. Over the past three years, growth in health-care spending averaged 3.9% year-over-year, considerably slower than the historical average. However, annual health-spending growth rates began to decline a decade ago. In 2002, health-care spending grew by nearly 10% in a single year. The growth rate dropped to 7.1% in 2004, 6.2% in 2007, and bottomed out at 3.9% in 2009—the worst year of the Great Recession, where it has stayed ever since. ObamaCare was enacted in 2010. CMS and the Congressional Budget Office attribute the general slowdown in health-care spending increases over the past decade to a variety of factors, including increased cost sharing in private health plans and a slower rate of introduction of new health technology. An Urban Institute analysis points to how the mix of health-care payers has shifted over the past decade toward lower-paying government programs providing a greater share of coverage (particularly Medicaid). Still, the recession is recognized by objective analysts as the single largest driver of slowed health-care spending in recent years. Many who lost their jobs lost their health insurance. Tight on cash, they opted out of surgery, hospital visits and prescriptions. Changes in health-spending growth rates traditionally lag about two years behind changes in national economic growth. In September 2013, CMS reported that the depth and severity of the recession was more substantial than expected and revised its spending estimates downward accordingly. In other words, champions of ObamaCare have little to crow about, once one recognizes that the persistently weak economic recovery has overlapped with the law." and.... " ....."State insurance commissioners have long seen themselves as protectors of the public's wallets -- the officials who say "no" to insurers' requests to increase health insurance premiums. It has not yet sunk in that on this coming New Year's Day, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will flip the commissioners' motives upside-down, prompting them to approve and even encourage premium increases, says Robert F. Graboyes, a senior research fellow with the Mercatus Center and professor of health economics at Virginia Commonwealth University." http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=23855

Dumbing down for tiga..... OBAMACARE SUCKS. Carry on. Oh, and instead of trying to read with your azz, I suggest your eyes.
I caught the end of another development today. Something about small businesses. This thing is crumbling as we speak. I wonder if TigerNC still feels as strongly about it chances of passing as he once did. Well phuck, who we talkin about, I guess he still would- possibly even more committed. He surely piped down. Maybe he was tired of trying to reason with our hard heads.
