Insurance for the young could be less than $50 a month

Seriously - then you go get "Obamacare"

LOL

YOu really do not have a clue as to how this works. Obamacare is Republican's name for the Affordable Care Act or ACA. The ACA just sets up the marketplace that private companies compete in. Obamacare isn't insurance. It is the structure and standards of the marketplace. THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT INSURANCE IN THE MARKETPLACE. So no, Obamacare isn't making private insurance obsolete.
 
Weren't you just telling me to get back on topic?

You hardly were...

Your entire premise is that: "its _______ fault" or "It's _______ fault."

The overwhelming evidence suggests otherwise.... You do know that sometimes one (or a collective) needs to take responsibility?

You have no argument what-so-ever - If I were you I would assess the the failures in logistics and attempt to save face.

lol, of course the Tenth Amendment is ignorant to you.

Which has nothing to do with your ridiculous claim. You actually thought Obamacare was insurance. It's not. I've shown you this. You are welcome.
 
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

I am particularly enjoying reading the Obamacare "debates."

Much like a merry-go-round it get's you dizzy! What to think? What to believe?

I know a handful of people that have had actual, hands-on, experience with it. They apparantly got through on the website. They speak pretty positive about it.

I know, I know. The Obamacare haters don't want to hear anything positive about Obamacare. I'm not trying to get your blood pressure up or anything. Just telling it like it is in my world.

Truth be told, I hope I don't have to deal with all that Obamacare stuff. I'm happy with what I got. Nothing is/has changed as far as I can tell, with my personal health insurance situation, other than the ACA requirements perhaps. Which I consider to be a good thing.

I am reminded of one of my favorite scenes from the Wizard of Oz when an anti-Obamacare advocate has a melt down when someone suggests anything positive about the ACA. "I'm melting!" LOL!

Well you clearly took a jab at Romney Care..... Since you did that it appears you're not fluent with our Bill or Rights or Constitution.

It is and your "insane" or ignorant for your misunderstandings on the issue and act.

I said nothing about Romneycare. You are making a straw man to try and slip out of responsibility of your post that illuminated that you don't know anything about Obamacare.
 
Uh, because it affects white also...?



CDC - Sickle Cell Disease, Quiz - NCBDDD

BUT don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion...;)

It's very rare outside of people who's origins are outside of tropical regions, and in the US, that generally means African origin. I would venture to guess in the US population, 95%+ of people with SCA have African origin.

But don't let those facts derail you from the point...that diseases that you know you won't get are covered by insurance (insert myriad of genetic diseases here), but I don't see whining about having them covered under the ACA.
 
If you knew what it is, you would get the connection between selection for the heterozygous genotype in sickle-cell with respect to malaria. That is what it means.

Don't assume things on topics you do not understand. You wrote that "sickle-cell is entirely independent of malaria." How did you know that this was true at the time you wrote it? What were you thinking?

Think he might have a similar come-to-Jesus moment on global warming?

Stranger things have happened...
 
...But don't let those facts derail you from the point...

Ok, one of the original points was generally why a middle age male needs maternity coverage on an individual plan? I can attest with 100% certainty (fact) he will not need it!
 
How many of these folks can afford the $5K deductible and $60 co pays for the "free" annual services?

I would like that option. That would be a lot better than what I currently have and a heck of a lot cheaper.

Yeah progressive language is quite unique....

I have no responsibility because I didn't advocate Obamacare and was not in a legislative position to approve or deny the proposed legislation.

I'm no "strawman" and certainly am not ignorant to Obamacare.......

I'm done with you. I would like to discuss other issues so... Like Dirt?

And I can attest with 100% certainly that you will not need treatment for porphyria. But you will be paying for other people to get coverage on your medical plan.

I'm pretty sure you won't get ovarian cancer either. But you're paying for that coverage too.
I could go on and on... Do you get the point? Do you see how stupid that objection actually is (no matter how many times Sean Hannity says it?)

No, I don't. Perhaps your assertion is that this 'new' thing is an all in/everybody pays for everything for everybody. Is that it?

Simple analogy, I go to the drug store and shop with a basket. I select things I commonly use like Qtips, alcohol, etc., some things I hope to not need but might be good to have like bandaids and prep H and at checkout the mgr puts tampons in my basket and demands I pay for them also (presumably because everybody else had to buy them). Remind me again why I need the tampons...being a middle aged man.

Insurance is not Qtips and alcohol. When you buy insurance, you are paying towards the expenses of everyone in the pool with you. Not just yourself.

Do you not understand what insurance is, or how it works?
 
He may marry a young fertile woman and father a child.

But if he marries or has a child the policy is no longer an individual plan...

Don't be obtuse. You are much better than that!

Why do you need ovarian cancer coverage?

He is in a pool. The people in his pool, which include women, need it. He has to pay a share of their health costs, just as they have to pay a share of his.

The women in his pool are never going to use their coverage for prostate cancer.
