Wow! If i could get a fantasy novel out next week--one that described, in rich detail, Obamacare going utterly non-functional, with no one paying for it and everyone rejecting it with disdain--would you buy it? For $29.99 hardcover?

Nice attempt at spinning it though.

It ain't spin if its true, Bob.

And we all know none of what we hear on FOX or the EIB is spin.

PS - seems to me it's time to change the name from FOXNEWS to The Dreaded Obamacare Channel. Although they managed to find 5 minutes so far this weekend to tell us Mandela was dead.

Maybe it's a non-issue for you...it is not for the residents of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan who have been fighting this disgrace for years. She should have been the end of an era 30 years ago. And Chas...y'know why the Badger is the only one left? Because Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake wholly within US boundaries. There aren't any others because Canada hasn't allowed it in any of the Great Lakes within their purview for years. Icon...my ass. Icon of poison and political bullshit.

The owners of the Badger were ordered to upgrade their system to diesel, natural gas, or any other system outside of coal that would not require the daily dumping of poison into Lake Michigan years ago. And every time they bumped up against the deadline, they appealed to the State of Michigan that it would put them in bankruptcy and cost the Ludington area over a million dollars in related business income and, of course, 100 or so jobs. It's always jobs isn't it. Nothing matters in this country but jobs. The government and politicians and people of Canada long ago recognized that certain things, like potable water, are more important than jobs. So every time the owners began whining about jobs, the State of Michigan went pleading to the EPA, and Michigan Republicans exerted their political muscle in Congress to extend the deadline, and the EPA relented. It's been years now...I'll believe it when I see it.

Yesterday, I'm at the gym trying to work off some blubber. The guy on the treadmill next to mine, turns to me and says, "Christ! Is that all they talk about anymore?" "Who?" "Those assholes." (Points to the bubbleheaded FoxNews blonde on the T.V.)

well if you are having hair issues you may want to go online to your individual exchange or Healthcare.gov to see if there are plans that cover ED as well....

one thing I have noticed is that when it comes to the send in your money part online that part of the software never breaks. I am sure the insurance companies will be getting their money soon enough.
