Seemed like the equivalent of a Budweiser or other bikini commercial to me... Nothing particularly overt other than the dress code and minor stuff.
I HATE seeing gay PDA stuff, straight PDA bothers me enough already and not 100% gay comfortable, and that barely registered any blips to me.

Yes, many of the policies are replaced, only at a much higher premium in order to comply with Obamacares new regulations. The issue is, that's not what the president promised now is it?

Do you think maybe he meant for comparable plans and not just "your price will go down no matter what kind of coverage you have now and no matter what kind of plan you pick up"? Holy shitballs, you fucking people. I guess in addition to an anger interpreter Obama also needs a legal advisor to qualify every single statement he makes in public.

You do realize even though he never elaborated beyond quoting the name if the report but if you actually read the report he was quoting savings from it wasn't day one or even year one savings.
It was the projected difference for YEAR TEN in premium costs.
So unless you've seen 2024s rates the quote while cute is only misleading in timeframe (since one would assume soon if you don't read the report) since its not 2024 yet or even close to it. (Note average premium was projected to be $3-4k higher preACA - so they've been expecting some increases)
But please feel free to burn him at the stake for not using verbose in detail phrasing you'd ignore if he went that route. And likely bitch about him being 'too elitist' or some shit.

Heheh.. your uncritical love of all things Obama..Care still makes me laugh.
Do you honestly believe that the ACA has been a net positive for the country? Really? After all the evidence to the contrary and even most Democrats running from it as fast as possible?

I thought I'd wait until it actually went into effect before I made that judgment. Pretty radical, I know, but I like to play things fast and loose.

well that's one alternative to reading the bill which nobody did and thinking ahead.

You can't determine what kind of impact the ACA is going to have just by reading the bill.

Sounds affordable to some there they even quote a person getting a net profit from their variant.
Didn't care to read the article in full? Or only care about the outliers that support your preconceived bullshit?

Plenty of people did... I did before it was passed personally. And pretty sure congress got it before the website did.
2000 double spaced pages isn't a long read if you're accustomed to reading.

Weird, my uncle's cousin's sister's butcher just told me how Obamacare is going to save him $2000 per year.
It is almost as if not all healthcare plans are the same ....
