When you Quot others you should do just that.

You're not very bright, are you?

Diametrically opposed statements from the same source require no context beyond the idiocy from which they spawned.

That you are unable to reconcile your own thoughts is your issue, not anyone else's.

Go ahead...retire!

It definitely will open up jobs, But we have no shortage of supply of workers to fill the spots. Less trained maybe.

There would be less taxable income do to older workers tend to earn a higher wage than a new hier.

And instead of tax dollars funding unemployment insurance we would crash the SSI system.

I doubt that it would really have any material difference in pricing. You can get all the competition with several dozen companies operating in each state. The only meaningful difference in state pricing was that some states required different minimum policies and others didn't. This is now moot with Obamacare.

Like hell it is. Obamacare cements this variation into law with requirements on insurance carriers to apply community rating to individual and small group policies. This also protects variation (inflation) in health care delivery costs that currently exist in various geographic areas across the country. States no longer have control over how small group and individual policies are priced.

On the other hand, with the federal government now defining minimum essential coverage, it give the Feds leverage to, at a future time, expand the menu of what constitutes minimum essential coverage and replace the states as arbiters the content of individual and small group medical coverage.

Arabian Proverb:

“He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool - shun him.
He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple - teach him.
He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep - wake him.
He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise - follow him.”

I say, shun him.

Perhaps were I lack helps inflate your ego?
But i'm sure I can do plenty that would put you in awe.
Funny thing about life not everybody excels at the same things. Coexistence functions much better that way when one hand washes the other.

But I'm sure you know everything and how to do it.

Views? maybe not the right terminology for you equating to learning. Perhaps I should have been saying my morals and character ingrained in me.

I do learn a lot even on this site I can see some people with morals that I definitely do not agree with. Some like yourself I do see good morals and character. In my view anyway.

I know a lot of things, actually.

That said, I am self-aware enough to know that my prior statement was out of line.

Do I think you're very bright? No. Is it ever my duty to point that out? Negative, Ghostrider.

My error.

I have probably forgotten more than you will ever learn. To learn, one needs to acknowledge another person's superiority and that takes humility.
