I bet they're PISSED at the rollout. Wonder what the total costs will be.

Insurance companies will get bailed out by the government. They don't care it's more beneficial being in the red.

I just heard that the prison industry is on the fast track enrolling inmates onto Obamacar medicaid. The states used to take on the expense but now pushing it to the federal government. This will make the numbers look good for the administration at the tune of 6 million. The only problem is far more enrolled non payers than payers but the insurance companies will get bailed out.

Imagine that,
The administration is looking for another extension on letting people keep their existing plans.

How long you might ask? three years to push it past the 2016 presidential elections.

They pushed businesses past the 2014 elections to comply because it will be so detrimental to losing seats.

Face it children American healthcare is the laughing stock of the industrialized nations. And rightly so, if it was possible to screw it up even more it would have been done already.

No shit. Go talk about health care with a Frenchman or German or Brit or Canadian. They think we're fucking crazy...and they're right.

And in no way have the quality of healthcare the US does. Even Canadians come here if the have the money.

I love how everyone wants the US to be Europe or some other country. We'll move you are free to do that.

Yep! The above from 4-2-7 is the most lame, lying-ass, right-wing radio gasbag bullshit I've heard since I waltzed in here.

And I'm learning all about 4-2-7, the reincarnation of fucking Spiro Agnew. Love it or leave, eh?

Well here ya go 4-2-7, here's the real truth. What this 5 cent cigar needs is a good country.

And finally 4-2-7, in response to your last sentence, yes by all means, you'll move me? Cool, you're free to move me if you want to.

I think Jerry Brown would jump up and down in joy if that happened.
I would not be surprised if inmates over 65 were on Medicare....do not know

WTF difference does it make? Even inmates have a right to be healthy. Some government agency is and has been responsible for their healthcare, Does it really matter which one is responsible? It is still coming out of your taxes whether it is the state or the fed.
