So why not blame him?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-8044363656551772492014-01-13T23:50:44.144-05:002014-01-13T23:50:44.144-05:00Andrew, don't suggest invading something.

You'll just give them ideas. <br /><br />On a related note, I just found out I have to pay $633 for a checkup and some blood work I had done recently, because my insurance won't pick it up for some reason. I really have no reason to think ObamaCare is to blame, but I'm going to claim it is because that will make me feel better.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-11186037953908521092014-01-13T22:23:13.852-05:002014-01-13T22:23:13.852-05:00Bev, Nice pun! :D We're accountin' on all...Bev, Nice pun! :D We're accountin' on all of you help us out!AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-64913284389769500362014-01-13T22:17:27.336-05:002014-01-13T22:17:27.336-05:00We can call it "Accountin' On US" :-...We can call it "Accountin' On US" :-)<br />BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-13262764001545873382014-01-13T21:54:10.840-05:002014-01-13T21:54:10.840-05:00Bev, What a great idea!

Yep, we are subsidizing the hell out of the insurance carriers. They stand to make $90 billion by government force, and if they don't, the government will just hand them the difference... and yet, a lot of conservatives continue to worry about protecting these poor, insurance companies.

PEOPLE WERE STUCK...IN...TRAFFIC!!!<br /><br />So if there are 9million+ people who have signed up for Obamacare, where are they? That's a lot of people, so you think they'd be easy to find and interview, right? Why can't the insurance companies find them? Isn't this a simple accounting procedure and an Excel spreadsheet somewhere that verifies this info? I mean, you know...US Healthcare has X number of new customers with Y-Obamacare precious metal-named policy. It can't be THAT hard to do, right? Oh, wait, this is our government at work here, so I just answered my own question. Well, and if one does not want the sad truth to be available then there is no need to keep track, is there?BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-9962987397047520142014-01-13T17:27:03.080-05:002014-01-13T17:27:03.080-05:00fellow tax payers ...... enjoy subsidizing the los...fellow tax payers ...... enjoy subsidizing the losses of the insurance companies.

That reeks of a figure made up for precise political purposes. Sadly for them, figures like that get exposed as time goes on and people tend to react even more badly when they find out they've been had.<br /><br />On Christie, that is a great point. That was very damning of both Obama and Hillary. Such amazing timing that a non-scandal scandal should appear to refocus the media.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-34838678055791209412014-01-13T14:49:55.176-05:002014-01-13T14:49:55.176-05:00Bev, not to argue with you but the fake Christie s...Bev, not to argue with you but the fake Christie scandal is to cover up a different democrat embarrassment. It came out last week that both Senators Obama and Clinton opposed the Iraq surge for political purposes only. Something that was suspected but never confirmed. Far more worrisome and alarming that one would choose political gain over soldiers lives.<br /><br />Pretty convenient that the made up 9 million people just happen to be double those who lost insurance. No such thing as a coincidence in slimey government.Koshcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552108950848576633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-2018895787583622742014-01-13T13:45:36.845-05:002014-01-13T13:45:36.845-05:00Bev, I'm taking the standard liberal approach ...Bev, I'm taking the standard liberal approach to this because I see this as a made-up scandal.<br /><br />Big whoops... nothing happened, he didn't do it, everyone does it, what an outrage I'm sure we've all learned lesson for the next time someone does this.<br /><br />As for jobs, but Bev... that's 78,000 jobs that wouldn't have existed if Obama had personally made them!AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-12499120739835277602014-01-13T12:55:24.193-05:002014-01-13T12:55:24.193-05:00Thanks Eric!

CHRISTIE AND BRIDGE-GATE!!!! WHAT GIVES??? DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHY A BRIDGE WAS CLOSED AND PEOPLE HAD TO WAIT IN TRAFFIC FOR 4 HOURS??? WHO CARES ABOUT LOSING INSURANCE WHEN WE CAN OBSESS OVER WHETHER CHRISTIE HAS RUINED HIS CHANCES OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN TWO YEARS???<br /><br />Okay, I will stop yelling now.<br /><br />As for Obamacare, I have heard 2 million to 10million have signed up for something. Why don't they know exactly? And, not to put to fine a point on it, why is this administration lying to us about the numbers. Why can't we get a straight answer. Oh, and the crackerjack IT firm that build the web network is out, and a very well-heeled Obama donor has been appointed to "fix" the website.<br /><br />On another note, the jobs report that came out this weekend was dismal - 78,000 jobs created. Yet, inexplicably, unemployment is now at 6.7%. The CBO and the Obama Administration still refuse to remove those people who have stopped looking for work. We are at our lowest number of employed in 50 years - 62.8%. Oh, but the good news is that Obama has now pivoted to "jobs"...again.<br /><br />OH WAIT - CHRIS CHRISTIE...BRIDGE-GATE!!!<br /><br />BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-83663967807418831562014-01-13T10:59:05.524-05:002014-01-13T10:59:05.524-05:00Mmm-mmm!
