Fair enough. I should have said not fully implemented. Now do you care to address the rate of change? For example, are you claiming that had the bill not been passed that costs would not have risen? If you accept that health care costs have been rising the question then becomes has the...

i never said none of the bill was implemented the exchanges, medicaid expansions and mandate have not been implemented. You ignore the discussion rate of change and just assert causality without basis. Do you repeat this stuff in your head over and again or do you just save it for the board...

The GOP puts the tag of Obamacare so stupid people can have something to look to. OTOH, if you think that the bill is completely tied to Obama and that it doesn't have other legs is naive at best. Oh and as for the OP, rather than the anecdote lets look at what the Texas Hospital Association...

The bill hasn't even been implemented. You recall all the GOP states lawsuit? Further the mandate, exchanges, and medicaid expansions have not happened. Further have you looked at it in terms of rate of change? Is cost increasing at a faster pace, the same pace or at a lesser pace? The...

What are you trying to insinuate?

I know at least two business owners that are going to take the tax credit for small business towards their health insurance and in one case hire some people for telemarketing and for the other open a new store. Anecdotes are just that. Quite frankly I have very little sympathy for medical...

I'm not sure what I prefer more asexual reproduction, noncombustible human flesh, transmutation into ionic compounds, underwater breathing, resurrection, perpetual condensation, human hovercrafts, demonic possession of farm animals, communication with plants, pathogen resistant blood...

Hmm? Not sure what you mean.

Maybe this will rally that base so that the 10% that usually vote GOP don't this year.

The DoJ lawyers argued it in court and thats all that matters. Again if you want to complain about politicians lying then go right ahead. The law is within their authority and that is from the Supreme Court. Go and file suit in your nearest federal courthouse and see what happens. And why...

Are you daft? Pointing to a policy that they have that is superior to ours that allows them to function better is not an indictment. It just means that they are doing a better job. Again making it all bout you. Policy makers should not have that luxury. Fact is without the TVA Easter KY...

More in depth discussion from you.

Umm why are you making this about what someone else who I am not even sure who it is did when talking to me? Keep up with what? That you are upset with something someone else did and are projecting it onto me? Who gives a fuck where Glenn Beck was I didn't even bring up Fox News. I think...

SCOTUS has ruled that it's within the feds authority. You can rail about overreach all day long but the objective legal standard is the SCOTUS and it is what it is. If you mean overreach as in it's not within their authority then you are wrong. The political process sucks and earmarks are...

This is asinine. I was talking about intelligent conservatism versus what passes for conservative rhetoric now. Pointing out stupid people that voted for Obama is besides the point. If anything the example of Chomsky and your video outlines that point as well. Raise the fucking bar.

Britain has 11 parties represented in parliament. Germany has 6. They both run parliamentary systems and we in no way have moved towards that. Further claiming that "more we move toward their types of systems, the worse the Country gets" is unsubstantiated bullshit. The British and German...

The Heritage Foundation came up with the notion of mandating insurance coverage and Romney implemented it. Party lines is about right because the only reason why the ACA is considered liberal is because the Democrats pushed it. I am not the one that is claiming that the quality of students is...

This is puritanical myopic nonsense. And do you consider Britain and Germany to be failures? Personally I think that Germany's political system is much much more representative than ours. Britains too for that matter. Their economies are much more mixed that ours. Our economy is mixed as...

Cost associated with Medicare are still lower than private practice. Why do you think doctors are opting out in the first place? Prices need to come down man and Medicare does a better job of controlling cost than the market on its own. And you did not even try to respond to the timeline. 20...
