The Affordable Care Act is here to stay!!!!! I might go get my blood pressure checked

[im4thedawgs]

You're assuming that making money and the bottom line is the most important thing in the world, or at least, it should be. I've gotten to do everything I've wanted to do in life, and making money has never been a priority for me.

Making a living based on your on work, intelligence and sacrifice (which does require making money), as opposed to being a burden on the rest of society is the most important thing most individuals can do. Today however, so many of those "takers" are no longer embarrassed to live off the labor of others, but actually expect to be taken care of and complain that aren't receiving enough "benefits". There are numerous examples of individuals who have never held any type of job. I understand you're not a "taker", but you seem to have no problem defending a system which was intended to be a "safety net", instead be turned into a lifestyle choice for millions. The Democrats solution is as always to take more from the earners and redistribute to many individuals who choose not strive to provide for themselves. Social Security Disability having been turned into the latest7 quasi "welfare system" for millions. With an 18 trillion and growing debt, along with dependency actually being expanded and encouraged by the Democrats there is no doubt this will NOT end well.

I believe the end of times is very near.
Look at how quickly the moral stature of this nation has been reversed.
The independent, moral, honest and selfless man has been murdered for the most part by the left as an antique concept.

Lump, buying it on my own through BCBS of GA. I run a small business (16 employees) under an S-Corp., but we do not offer health insurance. My wife worked for the local school district for years and we had insurance through them. She left a couple of years ago to become a fulltime grandmother / babysitter. Any suggestions on a good policy at a decent rate would be appreciated. We're not looking for a Cadillac plan, just something to cover a catastrophic illness.

You might look into a Health Savings Account policy. It covers the major stuff (after the deductible of course) and you pay the other things like office visits out of your account. The money you deposit into your HSA is tax deductible and when you reach retirement age you can roll it into an IRA. It may not be cheaper now, but should be looked at as a tax free savings account and works great for those who don't run to the Dr. every time they get the sniffles.

Obamacare will improve the economy through a healthier, and therefore, more productive work force.

You guys should give thanks to Obama and the Democratic politicians who have made your busniesses more profitable in the long run.

Or you could thank Big Insurance/Big Pharma.

What are you talking about "best healthcare in the world"? I wasn't. We were amongst the worst prior to the law than other developed countries. You can keep saying that it was all you want but facts are fact, it wasn't

Thanks for sharing the Huffpo talking points. Sorry, I don't need some appointed medical "board" to decide whether its worth while for me to get some procedure. Shouldn't that be up to me? You and your ilk are nothing but leeches; you've never had any success in your life, and you're jealous of those of us who have gotten up early EVERY DAY, and stayed late, and made some money. You feel entitled to what we have, so you go whining to to our overseers to seize it for you. This healthcare plan is nothing but another redistributionist scheme. WAAAAAAAAA................he's got good healthcare!!!!!!!!!! Make him pay for mine!!!!! I would have been happier if the NTACs had just raised my taxes again, and left the healthcare system alone. Don't go away mad, just go away. Might I suggest France.

Don't know if you're being sarcastic.....But the economy had negative growth..so much for profitable business, and Big Pharma loves Obamacare...LOVES IT......Have you noticed their stock prices?

Who do you think crafted the bill? Of course Big Biz loves it.

Since the people that make money pay all the bills, they are of paramount importance. Without them, you would starve.

Not true. Throughout history, warrior classes and scholarly classes have always existed in every civilization.

I would argue that the "safety net" you deride is a drop in the bucket compared to the financial costs incurred by disastrous and pointless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan---wars conceived and carried out by men and women of both political parties.

Bigdog why should I have to go away to France when socialist ideas are winning in this country. Sounds like it's your ilk that should be buying tickets and make new destination plans.

Can you sight a place where socialism has ever worked. Do you know why , that in 200+ years the USA has passed every Country in the world? It ain't socialism wally

Nope. It's a bipartisan failure.

According to the United States CIA, there are nine countries ahead of the United States in terms of per-capita GDP: Norway, Luxembourg, Iceland, Ireland, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands. All socialist.

They do not exist without taxes from the citizens to support them.
Thank you for your service, I really have the up most respect and reverence for all that served our nation. I just saw my stepfather buried last week, he flew Caribou's in Vietnam. He was a warrior and a huge Reagan fan. He was a good man and understood the weakening of the US that has occurred on a much faster pace in the last 6 years than most could ever imagine.

Link? Now I don't really need the link because this is what I do for a living. But I'll give you a shot. I can tellyou now chapeter and verse that you list is totaly bullshit....but go ahead anyway. And when did the CIA get into charting GDP? LOL

I think he's refering this site. CIA has had this site up for sometime now. White may be siting some slightly outdated data but his point is made. There are socialist countries out there that are functioning very well.

Wow, I have been doing research on the CV-2B and its role in the interservice rivalry between the Air Force and Army over fixed wing aircraft in Vietnam. I'm sorry for your loss, the men who flew Caribous in Vietnam were extremely brave men to fly into primitive airstrips where C-123s and C-130s could not go. Many of the Caribou pilots I interviewed were originally Airborne infantry officers who transferred into Aviation or the Transportation Corps during the New Look Army of the 1950s. Did your stepfather transition into helicopters once the CV-2B was grounded by the Army?

Hmmmmmm.......all of those countries are under the Defense umbrella of somebody, but I can't remember who that is......hmmmm......oh yeah, it's that shitty racist country to their west. And what do they pay for said defense? ZERO. That right, boys and girls, we do it for free. I know, it doesn't address the GDP, but I thought I'd throw it in. Luxembourg huh. Didn't Rhode Island beat their ass in a war? Good Grief.

No he graduated from North Georgia college and was commissioned into the army upon graduation and went straight into flight school, after finishing his tours, he came back to the states and became an air traffic controller, and got out just before Reagan fired the strikers. He always loved Mr. Reagan.
He told me on one of the missions he was to fly they cancelled him as the pilot at the last minute and,as the alternate pilot released the cargo it snagged in the bay when the chute pulled it out and slammed the plane into the ground killing everyone on board. Always said when its your time there is no escaping. I miss him very much already. The military service was very precise and touching when my mother received the flag. God bless all of our veterans.

And somebody else had to pay for it. Forgive for implying in an earlier post that you are a smart guy. You just proved that you're dumber than a retard.
