Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Because the millions that now have health care outweigh the negatives. You don't look at these things in a vacuum.
A lot of those millions that have health care now, only have it because they legally have to. I for one would rather be uninsured than have to pay the ridiculous premiums that ACA made for me. The middle class was hit so hard by this. Yay! The lower class is now all insured. They were all eligible for medicaid already anyway

I wasn't pointing out the negatives per say, was just pointing out that the numbers of "millions" now insured is very misleading.

Take me for instance. Middle income bracket, not worth it for me to get insurance, because the premiums just don't pay off. BA"H I'm a healthy person, and don't believe I need it. Now though I'm "forced" to pay $250+ a month for something I don't want, which is going to cover every person in america with a preexisting condition which jacks up the premiums even more

How would you feel if you got sick and your parents had to use every penny they ever worked for their whole life just to pay your medical bills?

C"v, buts that's my own perogative if I don't want insurance. Why should the rest of america pay for you? And they definitely shouldn't be forced to.

I understand what you are saying try to understand what I am saying. I have four kids and would mortgage everything thing I have to make sure they get proper medical care. Is it to much to ask for them to get insurance?

No. But I've found that my father isn't doing any better after ACA either. He also has kids ;) and a mortgage. Lol. But honestly he used to have a pretty decent plan from his employer, but now since ACA mandated certain things, that plan has reverted to the most basic, where deductibles were through the roof! So much so, that he threw all of us kids off, claimed us as independents and put us on medicaid! that's how bad the plan was

This is why I am sure that you had insurance prior to Obamacare as well.

Yes but recently two of them had to fend for their own. They to had the attitude they won't get sick and if they do they will take care of it. Young grasshoppers have a lot to learn.

Ask them is not the same thing as forcing someone. Why can't people make their own decisions?

That's the whole point. Except for preexisting conditions everyone was able to have insurance.( And btw if you had insurance before the condition you were able to get onto any plan )

Indeed so. But your failure to give them a proper financial education doesn't constitute an obligation on rest of taxpayers to foot the bill. ;)

Medicaid  is the Rolls Royce of health coverage in NY. No deductibles or co-pays, and coverage for OTC medications.

Yup. Medicaid is literally an incentive to remain in a poverty level income bracket.
