Another Obamacare horror story debunked

Quote from DHOHHI:

Uhh, I run 6 days/week. Weigh 2 pounds more than I did when I got my undergrad degree in 1975. So 6'2", 172 isn't anything I might apologize for. I'm healthier than most people 20+ years younger. I've had 2 doctors in the past 2 decades say "I'd be out of business if all my patients were like you".

But I get to subsidize the slobs in the US who CHOOSE to eat like pigs, who CHOOSE to not exercise and who CHOOSE to develop pre-existing conditions. I'm excluding those who have real pre-existing conditions.

Want a good laugh? Go to a shopping center, or a Wal-Mart, or a restaurant, especially a place that has "all you can eat" crap. Just observe the people there. You see extremely overweight and obese people at all of the above places. Some who ride around stores in scooters because they can't even walk due to their excessive weight.
You're right about obesity, there's a lot of it around. Particularly where the poor hang out.

Your measurements still don't get at your blood work, which is what matters. And all that running could be creating inflammation. Not saying it is. :)
 
Quote from Ricter:

It's a different market now, by several million people, so naturally the price is going to change. Is it fair? Without looking at the subsidy schedule I can't say (I mean, what's "wealthy" in your view?), but in principle(s) it may well be fair.
Obamacare defines wealthy as someone making over 95k a year who gets no subsidy. This person has been deemed by Dear Leader to pay an exorbitant amount of money over any reasonable market rate.

We knew that some were going to pay more, some going to pay less, and some get coverage for the first time. I'll admit 95k is not much if you're looking at going from, for example, $400 a month to $800 a month.

Which is why I say put a health tax on unhealthy activities. People pay for their own health care as they go. It makes sense to look at anyway.
 
the leftist know that in the end... having to go through a govt website for health care means they can tax the shit out of people.

if the goal is to really make this work... the govt gets to middle the insurance companies

and destroy americans.

its like college tuition.

we will charge you everything you have saved.
 
Quote from Lucrum:

But it's OK for you to argue with Ricter? What kind of double standard is that Tao?

:)

Ricter, occasionally, will show glimpses of logic and understanding. Convertability is nothing but 100% shill. Drive by trolling is her game.

Can you define "occasionally" for me. :D

Obamacare: The gift that keeps on giving.



This could turn out to be a massive headache for the Obama administration. Users of the Obamacare exchange are reporting that the website is directing them to pages with the personal information of other people.

from the Foundry:

Justin Hadley logged on to HealthCare.gov to evaluate his insurance options after his health plan was canceled. What he discovered was an apparent security flaw that disclosed eligibility letters addressed to individuals from another state.
“I was in complete shock,” said Hadley, who contacted Heritage after becoming alarmed at the breach of privacy.
Hadley, a North Carolina father, buys his insurance on the individual market. His insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, directed him to HealthCare.gov in a cancellation letter he received in September.
After multiple attempts to access the problem-plagued website, Hadley finally made it past the registration page Thursday. That’s when he was greeted with downloadable letters about eligibility — for two people in South Carolina.

The letters, dated October 8, acknowledge receipt of an application to the Health Insurance Marketplace and the eligibility of family members to purchase health coverage. One of the letters was addressed to Thomas Dougall, a lawyer from Elgin, SC.

After learning of the privacy breach, Dougall spent Friday evening trying to contact representatives from HealthCare.gov to no avail; he spent an hour waiting on the telephone and an online chat session was unhelpful. He also wrote to Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Tim Scott (R-SC), along with Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC).
“I want my personal information off of that website,” Dougall said...
