Already dealt with that here: http://www.politicalchat.org/showpos...&postcount=651

Besides, did you even read the article you posted?

"President Barack Obama partially credits elements of the Affordable Care Act, such as reduced fees for hospital services, for reduced inflation in national expenditures, but there's no consensus among experts. The actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are among those who believe the phenomenon is nothing more than a repeat of normal patterns that occur during and after economic recessions like the one that began in 2007.

"The trends that we've seen in the last few years are consistent with the historical relationship that we've seen between health spending and overall economic growth," said Aaron Catlin, the deputy director of the National Health Statistics Group within the actuary's office, during a press briefing Monday prior to the report's release.

Yes, but it does contradict your statement that Obamacare has caused runaway healthcare cost growth.

There is however, plenty of consensus among idiots that the ACA will destroy the country.

Good for Walmart and Walmart employees then. I'm all for the people getting the best health coverage they can. I doubt there's any contraceptive coverage bullshit at Walmart either.

The article conveniently ignores the fact that a great majority Walmart employees are eligble for foodstamps and a $2500 deductible just means they'll continue on to the ER instead of paying for the Mayo Clinic. I glanced over the article but didn't see if it was available to part timers.

I'll look into it more when I climb down off the ladder. Did you give your crew a snow day, Chas?

Some of you obviously didn't get the memo that this train wreck is to be referred to as the Affordable Care Act, not Obama Care. I wonder why that is?
You have to be a hard core lib to even try and defend this mess. BTW, I like my plan and my Doctor, so can I keep them? My Union PAC money finally bought me something good, a two year exemption from this idiotic mess. Will you libs still defend it when your premiums double, and you can't see the doctor you want to. Somebody has to pay for the deadbeats right? What's the chances that will be me, I'd guess right around 100%. Two more years and three months and I'm out of here. A few of you libs will need to get jobs to make the taxes up.

I have a pretty good idea you will still be paying taxes...unless you are planning a suicide.

What are you talking about? What "Memo"? Is it the Purple Kush talking?

I'll listen to your bitter bullshit when the Reps actually come up with an idea of their own. Jesus Christ.
