So, your post are always welcome. But I'd suggest you "up your game" to a level of discussion that is at once informative and challenging based on facts or substantive opinions rather than ad homs.
I appreciate that Mike. In this instance, such a comment is more credible coming from one, like yourself, who might agree with some of the poster's underlying points.

I don't know.

If an idea is stupid it does not matter in if the idea is presented in the King's English or not. I have seen many of Ohbummers ideas presented here in clear, lucid language. Which is much more scary to me anyway.

I guess much more is poor syntax.

Mayhap Ohbummer is ZeroJunk but I do not think the fine gentlemen from NC could figure out how to log onto his neighbor's wifi and create another PC account.

man that was way out of line. I will counsel myself. Remember council sheets Dave?

Actually, I have to agree with his "Califorskin" reference. Circumcision rates in CA are among the lowest in the Unites States.

And I have to wonder why you would know such a thing.

However, I suspect this isn't over. The administration has suggested that if unions convert their multi-employer plans into "private exchanges", there may be a way leverage the exchange model to grant subsidies to members, though that may create some new tax consequences for the unions.


All I know about for sure is our insurance. Pretty much stayed the same. It been going up every year it seemed and didn't fail expectations once again.

Wish someone actually having to sign up for ACA would give a non-bias report.

Oh, my problem is not the quality of syntax, but the quality of argument. Attack and denigrate seems to be all he's got.

I read whell's comment as suggesting an upping of the game, content-wise.

While this is info for MI, it might be illustrative of actual costs of health care with subsidies through the exchange. Cost are approximate, but area based on actual data from insurance carriers participating in the exchange. It also allows you test different scenarios for coverage: plan type, income level, number of dependents. I think running the various scenarios gives a good sense of how the subsidies work, or don't work as the case may be.
