Obama's approval rating grows following memorable week

No, simply raising the price by a penny makes the plan illegal.

Changes to the premium don't matter (although if you're in an employer-based plan and your employer changes the percentage of the total premium he contributes, that plan would lose grandfathered status). There is, of course, no equivalent to that situation in the individual market.
 
One penny increase in the price made the plan illegal. That was specifically to remove the plan and doctor.
 
You should understand there are people (human beings) who are destitute and unable to accept personal responsibility in this the richest nation on the face of the earth. It's immoral to let them stave and die. Conservatives are basically for themselves and noboby else. Now you are going to give me that line of crap where you will say conservatives donate more than liberals. Even if thats is true it not nearly enough.

I agree and they live in your area or other specific areas and thus are the responsibility of those communities. How many trillions of Federal taxpayer dollars have gone to eradicate poverty and we have more people dependent today on the Federal Taxpayers than ever before. What I see are people like you pawning off your local problems to the Federal taxpayers. Social problems are state and local, not federal and you are the reason we have a Federal Govt. that is approaching 3.9 trillion dollars
 
:roll: Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure the old, tired, PATHETIC "parties switch" claim as an attempt from Democrats to hide from their disgustingly racist and bigoted past.


Interesting how segregation and Jim Crow ended in the South the same time Democratic control ended in the South....very, VERY interesting.

You might want to sharpen up on your knowledge of Liberal v. conservative and Democratic v Republican, with particular emphasis on how parties have redefined themselves over the years.

I don't know about you, but I find the well informed posters to be more interesting and more effective. BTW, I think you also have your cause and effects backwards here...

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. :kissy:

Spoken like a good little liberal who has no problem taking money from other taxpayers. Wonder if you would feel the same way if there was a face on those "donations?"
 
His own VP declared it Voodoo economics, so stupid was it. Nothing trickled down, and the middle class has been weakened by his "Voodoo economics"

Yea the middle class was so weakened by voodoo economics. Is that is why we thrived in the 90s due to Reagans policies, instead of in the 00s after Clinton unraveled them?

Like I said...pathetic attempt to hide from their disgustingly racist, bigoted, and hateful past.

Franklin's face is what I prefer, but I will take Jackson's.

For four decades I worked and paid taxes. I am sure some of that money helped others; I don't regret it one bit. I am also a lot of that money was spent on things I don't agree with; I don't bitch about it now.

Of course you would but why don't you go next door and ask your neighbor to pay for your healthcare costs? You have no problem accepting money from a faceless taxpayer so how about looking your neighbor in the eye and ask him/her for the money

Sure there are some in Oregon, but there is a boat load of them in Texas.
Have figured out its not the 4th of July yet?

Why don't you go to your neighbor to fund your wars? You have no problem accepting money from a faceless taxpayer so how about looking your neighbor in the eye and ask him/her for the money.

Yes, and except for Federal Govt. mandates the communities in TX take care of their own which is the right way of doing things, not delegating responsibility for your state to the Federal Taxpayers

Because the Constitution says the govt. will do it. where does the Constitution mandate that the Federal taxpayers fund your health insurance. One of your most idiotic posts ever

They will require a subsidy like myself; besides you are doing a wonderful job. Again, thanks!

Yep, can see the pride you have for yourself in every post. No problem begging for taxpayer help but not so easy to go to your neighbor

If you look at the map Oregon has less poverty than Texas does.

Congratulations! Notice the areas of poverty in TX located close to the border, a border that our taxdollars are supposed to defend. So if Oregon can do it why does any other state need the Federal taxpayers to fund social poverty programs? Defend the border and our state can do it too and would gladly do it.

We both live in Houston so you're my neighbor, and may I say, what a wonderful neighbor you are. You brighten up Houston like you do this forum.

Apparently I am more of a Texan than you will ever be and I moved here in 1992. I prefer to take care of myself vs. having you do it for me. If I couldn't do it I would go to my church and local charities. Amazing how many free clinics there are in the Houston Area not funded by ACA. that shows the difference between me and you
 
Right! and it cost the lives of 241 Marines...oh wait a minute, that was under Reagan, my bad!

A month later Reagan ordered the invasion of a tiny Caribbean island on the false pretext that the American students at the medical school there were in danger to get people's attention off the horrendous mistake he made in Beirut. What is it about failure and deception by their politicians that republicans love so much?

Wow, you will go to no end to distort and lie about the Reagan record. Had a very good friend stationed in Granada who was saved by the U.S. Marines there and he tells a different story but then again you are an expert in just about everything even though you were never there.
