[Cigar]

Educate yourself first before you start an argument ... http://www.healthcare.gov/law/timeline/


On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. The law puts in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will roll out over four years and beyond, with most changes taking place by 2014. Others have already begun. Use this timeline to learn about what’s changing and when.

Changes to note:

Well if they had added anti fraud clauses it may have made a big difference to the real costs. I mean 10% of the US budget yearly is paying for fraud. The biggest part of that is doctors, medicare, medicaid and medicine related. If the dems would regulate what needs regulated and stop regulating jobs out of the country I could still see the doctor cash and carry and I would have faster internet for less money.

Yup! it seem some think all regulation is a dirty word but in fact it is not. Funny ain't it.

I hate regulation of many things but regulation need be balanced.

And you vote (D)? Do you realize what gets regulated? Why it is regulated and the fact that many of those regulations forcing jobs out create more global pollution and contribute more to your global warming that if the regs had been more moderate and competitive allowing companies to stay in the US?

When you own a business you never quit ... you just move on to other priorities.

Look it up sport ... watch ... live ... and learn .. and someday you'll have something better to do. :)

When you own a business, you don't sit around during business hours M-F posting crap on a bulletin board. You're working your ass off a lot more than 8 hours per day trying to stay one jump ahead of the government, taxes, and the tough economy. Been there, done that.

Retired guys, which is what I am now, play on message boards when they want to, 7 days per week.

OTOH, if you are actually one of these equal opportunity government workers who steals money from the taxpayers while he sits at his desk for the shortest time possible screwing around knowing full well he's impossible to fire because he's Black, and NEVER works on weekends, well, he might be you.

I'm beginning to attribute more possibility to this explanation of who you really are since your productivity as a paid poster has been pretty weak lately.
