Argue? No. 'Pubs aren't going to replace Obamacare without subsidies. It's just going to be a renewed clusterf... with a different name. And NOBODY's going to pay less.

Healthcare insurance costs have steadily risen for the last 20 years. Blaming increased private healthcare insurance costs on the ACA is propaganda.

You want to argue with me that 30 million subsidized health premiums, along with the claims and utilization that accompanies the policies are cheaper than hospital write-offs on the 1-offs of people who don't have insurance?

Go talk to an actuary.

He's not arguing with you; the American Hospital Association is. And I bet they have actuaries.
There are mandates in the ACA. It's not all subsidized.

So when my clients had to pay for ACA established PCORI, the Health Insurance Industry Fee, Reinsurance fee, etc... I should have said "Wait-don't pay these taxes & stop strategizing how they are going to affect your overall benefit spend, as some person named LA Muskie claims they are "ACA propaganda". "High-Five"

...and if I have to draw the line for you on how these, and other ACA cost increases, punish employer sponsored health plans, then I'm tapping out of this discussion.

The timing of this with the outcry of Castro death statements makes politics worth following. Nothing short of remarkable!

I never thought I'd see the day where some Republicans are not just sympathetic to Putin and Russia, but also more trusting of them than our own intelligence agencies. Reagan would be losing his shit right now.

Spoiler alert: people are idiots and don't know the first thing about history.

If you tie in what's happening in Syria, you're asking for a brain hemorrhage. This is why I would have cheered if Romney was selected for Secretary of State. In one of the Presidential debates he famously said Russia was our biggest threat abroad and was mocked for it. It now seems he hit the nail on the head.

Hey man, this type of logic is the EXACT reason why I support one of the centuries worst human rights abuser. You did this to yourself.

I like it. That took a level of foresight that basically nobody had at the time.
