Looks like the contractors are now pointing the fingers.

According to MSNBC this morning, a last minute change was instead of people being able to browse policies first, and then register later, they switched it.

Really? They wanted everyone's information first? Shocking.

But, this does provide a nice story for our populace. Best to not discuss the fact that the government can now force the people to buy things from corporations. Where this beauty of a precedent leads god only knows.

These posters on here talking about "there is no free market" for years and now all of a sudden are all like

"If we force the people to buy from corporations, that will give them more customers and then the nice corporations will lower their prices for us!!"

Hypocrites abound.

Sounds like you ran out of spin.

[-] -3 points by HCHC4 (-28) 10 years ago

Keep denying the truth.

Did you sign up yet? Hell fuckin no you didnt.

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 10 years ago

There is nothing to deny. You don't have an argument. Get back to me when you get one.

You didn't read it.

You don't have any idea what the mandatory requirements were and you sure as hell weren't going up against the Florida Blue policy that did nothing but take money. Did you fight that? No? How telling.

You are against any regulation. Especially in Florida. Florida refused to do it and where are you at? Are you fighting to get an increase in Medicaid recipients? No? How telling.

I have insurance. I keep telling you this and just like everything else-you can't hear because your head is too far up your ass.

[-] -3 points by HCHC4 (-28) 10 years ago

No shit you already have insurance, its why you are such an ardent supporter.

Out of sight, out of mind for you.

Get ready for more of the same for the insurance companies through their lobbyin efforts- less benefits, prices increases and more record profits.

You think that after they can now force the public to purchase their shit garbage, that trend is going to REVERSE? Ha!

And you're still supporting the corporations with this, if you cant see this then you're even blinder than I thought.

It would appear that the Koch brothers endless supply of money has even outsourced their attacks.

Really? Both sides outsourcing their propaganda machines?

Im shocked.

(facepalm)

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 10 years ago

Um.....no.

As usual you didn't notice who was doing what. Failure to read....again?

The Koch's outsource almost all of their attacks. This ones just particularly heinous.

I fully expect you to be cheerleading for them some more.

How much did they spend to get you be their mouthpiece?

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/07/08/2262831/koch-brothers-obamacare-misinformation/

If you're not getting paid. You should be.

[-] -3 points by HCHC4 (-28) 10 years ago

No one is cheerleading for them, thats your lopsided misconception at work as usual.

The point is they are both doing, have always done it, and will keep doing.

Its just one side gets you to buy the garbage, the other doesnt.

Some of us are past all of it. Not falling for it.

Its like falling for a "sugar free" pepsi ad. Sure, its healthy than the other, But they still just convinced you to buy their garbage regardless.

PR firm Time cashing in on yet another Dem campaign: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/29/contractors-earn-big-for-pr-blitz-on-obamacare/?page=all

Time to wake up Shooz, and join the other 75% of Americans and denounce ALL OF THEM!

You're still completely incapable of following and understanding a link?

Could it be you're in a State that took what you are saying to the opposite EXTREME.

Yeppers, you are.

and in that way "owing" the Koch buck.

Didn't you also try and claim that all MSM is the same too?

Don'tcha just love those libe(R)topians?

I wonder what label the non-believers will paste on him?

[-] -2 points by HCHC4 (-28) 10 years ago

It depends on how educated you are.

Theres a significant portion of those who claim to be politically active that think either MSNBC or FOX is the place for the truth, and the other is nothing but lies.

Personally I laugh at either that believes them.

Luckily those that think they are both garbage are growing. The people are waking up, hopefully in time to do something.

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 10 years ago

Yet not surprisingly, you often push the FLAKESnews, libe(R)tarian positions.

Why is that?

Are you blaming your education?

I've been trying to help you, but you reject every attempt at truth.

PLUS, you've actually lied about me personally, while refusing to answer so many pertinent questions.

Like your relationship to the soap opera of the banned.

You like to pretend it didn't happen.

Like your posted links to the John Birch Society and Brietbart.

You like to pretend it didn't happen.

It did.

Now that you've lost the duopoly argument, I fully expect you to change your tune for a while, just to claim it again later.

After all, you've never let the truth get in the way of a single one of your "arguments", or adjust a single one of your "positions".

Oh and don't worry, FLAKESnews is still #1 in viewership and revenues.

your position is protected.

[-] -3 points by HCHC4 (-28) 10 years ago

"Luckily those that think they are both garbage are growing. The people are waking up, hopefully in time to do something."

Its coming whether you like it or not. People are thinking outside of the narrow predefined answers your generation has been spoon fed for an entire lifetime.

Its almost as if you never really did anything occupy-or political- at all, to be so out of touch.

Hmmm...

[-] 1 points by shoozTroll (17632) 10 years ago

Astounding!

You ignore what's said, again, and throw in insults and a thinly veiled threat.

Out of touch?

You certainly are.

Pass one more lie about me.

Hmmmm

[-] -3 points by HCHC4 (-28) 10 years ago

What was the lie?

You have about 4 posters on here that support you. The rest almost all thank me for duking it out with you four.

So either EVERYONE is insane except for the four of you, or something is up.

What is it?

Wow. We are getting reeeeeeal transparent on here this afternoon. Good to air it out.

Some of those people you refer to are out in the streets protesting, you should be grateful.

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 10 years ago

Transparent?

Yep. Tellin' the truth.

When are you going to start?

At least one of your vaunted members was stalking people in meatspace.

Not unlike you and they stalked people here on the forum.

So yeppers..........

Fuck 'em.

[-] -3 points by HCHC4 (-28) 10 years ago

Not tea party, occupy. I wouldnt expect you to understand, seems how you never really got into it.

At least you two are consistent in your confusion and attacks.

Not on the Dem platform? Must be attacked. If that fails, ban em.

Priceless.

Do you realize your last post on here last night and your first this morning were only 7 hrs apart? Either multiple people are running your handle, or you are a professional internet poster- otherwise known as a troll.

One or the other. Or you're just a total nut.

Eh,...who knows.

I'm not confused. You're not confused. No one else is confused. You're a multiple ID cockroach that has nothing to do with Occupy and...........I'm glad for our exchanges because you continue to demonstrate how far away from Occupy that you really are. Please, do continue your bullshit.

Special Investigation: How Insurers Are Hiding Obamacare Benefits From Customers

Across the country, insurance companies have sent misleading letters to consumers, trying to lock them into the companies' own, sometimes more expensive health insurance plans rather than let them shop for insurance and tax credits on the Obamacare marketplaces -- which could lead to people like Donna spending thousands more for insurance than the law intended. In some cases, mentions of the marketplace in those letters are relegated to a mere footnote, which can be easily overlooked.

The extreme lengths to which some insurance companies are going to hold on to existing customers at higher price, as the Affordable Care Act fundamentally re-orders the individual insurance market, has caught the attention of state insurance regulators.

The insurance companies argue that it's simply capitalism at work. But regulators don't see it that way. By warning customers that their health insurance plans are being canceled as a result of Obamacare and urging them to secure new insurance plans before the Obamacare launched on Oct. 1, these insurers put their customers at risk of enrolling in plans that were not as good or as affordable as what they could buy on the marketplaces.

Mandated outsourcing?

Mandated consultants?

Mandated PR contracts?

Wow. I realize everyone says this will lead to universal, but whats the estimated time table?

Sad reality. Can't remain in denial forever about Obamacare. Costs skyrocketing, millions being dropped from coverage, millions moved to part time work, and NO, you may not be able to choose your own doctor, and finally they don't follow HIPPA laws for privacy. That was just admitted under oath two days ago. Liberals...destroying healthcare in America. Own it bitch.
