Bump

Folks don't seem to be signing up for this Andy. Can you embed a Fox News clip?

You mean Fox News is the only place talking about defunding Obamacare?
IGx people don't like old guys like you and me. Obama has called for a Trillion dollar tax hike to pay for our Medicare and Social Security. What's interesting is that an auditorium filled with ttaxpaying Democrats stood up and applauded when he made the announcement Yay Obama!! Keep that free stuff coming! You get your free phone yet? I'm looking forward to my free car soon. I think I'll take a Cadillac CTS..

OK Tim, I got it figured out! The reason nobody wants to sign that petition is because they can go to the exchanges and the govt. will subsidize their medical needs so that health care will cost them nothing. Then being on a govt. subsidized program, they will qualify for free phones, food stamps, free cars with gas and maintenance, free housing and utilities. Why would anybody sign up against that? Obama's whore communist mother and mack daddy father did their job on his tiny head.

Not sure what is going on here, but I'm feeling sad for Andy and his "causes"

I'll sign it if you promise me free health insurance

This petition thing has really taken off. KUDOS

My local paper posted the exact monthly costs for 4 levels of insurance via the Obamacare insurance exchange. All were from big time insurance companies. The cost is not too different from what I pay now to my insurance company. Other than the fact that the Obamacare policies are available to individuals and that there are subsidies, all I see is rich companies getting richer and the working poor getting fucked by the gov't/corporate kleptocracy.

Considering that they essentially wrote the bill, this shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

No problem. Just go to any doctor or hospital and tell them I sent you.

I don't know why I'm surprised by this but since the very poor get Medicaid, from what I see this looks like little more than a tax on the working poor - despite assorted subsidies. The working poor who went from a 39 hour week to a 29 hour week that is. In an economy that added 900,000 jobs this year of which 700,000 were part time; that's a sad thing. I hope my analysis is wrong.

The working poor were always going to lose with this bill (because the cost of employing them full time was going to go up significantly), but the idea was that that the bill would cause the cost of employing higher wage workers would go down-- and that that would at least partially offset it.

I think the only real argument left is whether or not the bill was a) bad to begin with, or b) too poorly implemented to work.
