The Blue Board

We've had discussions about this before, come on. You know I know the bill.

On the other hand, I still have yet to hear an explanation from you about why the bill is so terrible. I believe you know the bill, but if you talked to insurance company execs, you should have pretty detailed reasoning for why the ACA is so bad. If you could walk me through that reasoning, I'd greatly appreciate it, because right now I legitimately don't understand where you're coming from.

Beige, brown, and tan people are exempt. Peach people are not. What if you are naturally peach, but you lay in the sun all day. Your post is racist. I do not think there is racism in the USA anymore. Ideology is the new race affiliation. People in America are no longer divided by race as they were in the 50's. However, people are divided by ideals. You will still have the very small groups of any given race that do not like people of other ethnicities, but, for the most part, people in America are now bonded by their ideological beliefs. The majority of the people's ideology is moderate/liberal.

You haven't even read the OP, have you?

Just like Texas wil seceed?

There is plenty of wasted money in the military that can be cut without taking away benifits of discharged and retired veterans. Im in Afghanistan now for my third deployment. I just relieved a unit and signed for over 5 million dollars of equiptment. There is so many pieces of equiptment that cost more money than you could imagine that have been sitting in a connex for years never to be used. Instead of using our own helicopters to transports troops to the outlying bases away from the mega FOB's, the government instead is paying a Canadian company to fly troops in civilian helicopters. The Army has an entire job for truck drivers, but yet they instead decide to use Afghani's and their "jingle trucks" to transport supplies. And last but definalty not least they are paying every single soldier that is here the same deployment and hazard duty benifits regardless of where they are and what they are doing. So all those soldiers who are live in their nice apartment style rooms and Bagram or Kandahar or all the other huge bases, with their nice AC, getting fat eating burger king every day and drinking their frozen coffee, and having dance parties at the MWR and all that garbage are making the exact same pay as the grunts out there actually fighting the enemy, living in old bombed out Afghani buildings, working all hours of the day. Its ridiculous. There are so many people on those mega bases that have never even come into contact with an actual afghani person. Pathetic. Bottom line is that there is alot of money that can be cut from the military but cutting it from the brave citizens who volunteered and make up less than 1% of the enitre country should never ever be an option. Even if it is 10 dollars. Cuz you know what. That 10 dollars might mean more to that person than you know.

The whole Republican party is a joke from the presidential nominees down to the clowns on this message board.

Look in the mirror and at yourself. You will see the real joke.

Don't they get free healthcare for life? And they get to vote on their own pay increases?

Course we could start an entire thread about that topic

500 a month is pretty standard for today, but $320 a month in 2000 is BS. There is no way it was $320 12 years ago and just $480 now if he has the same insurance.

I see why so many of you are attacking Obamacare. It is because you have no effing clue of the spike in premiums from 2001 - 2008. After Obama got in office, the cost of premiums stopped rising. I am obviously communicating with a bunch of people that do not work, or you are only about 24 - 27 or younger.

Health Ins -56.55*

That's straight from my pay check. I'm 24, not in the military, don't smoke, work 40 hours a week. Maybe I get the "not an asshole" discount that you aren't eligible for.

What's got your panties bunched my man? If the dude doesn't want to partake in the ACA he can pay the tax and abstain. Obama won. There'll be no repeal. I'm not sure what your arguing, or why you care what someone pays/paid for insurance.

Low tolerence for stupidity, but I will let it go. UCLA, Stanford, Wake Forest, and Baylor win this weekend. What do you think?
