I have no idea what you were trying to say.

"This guy got his insurance canceled by Obamacare"

He still has insurance. He does not have disability coverage that spans the gap between short term and long term. They are two different things.

Our "Affordable healthcare act" will go into effect on Jan 1st. Unfortunately, plans until that time are not affected by the ACA.

Oh, don't get me wrong, there's a reason I added the post script here. I'm not arguing the validity of the program or not, merely what it is and isn't currently doing.

As it's now law and active as of the first, I just don't bother withdiscussion as to whether it should exist or not. It does.

Guaranteed? Not necessarily, but very very likely. Statistically it's not a positive prognosis.

Well, to be fair, at first it's misleading due to the less than articulate commentary that was made, but it has it's place. American health care is crap at the moment, which is why the ACA was enacted. Disability, while not directly health care, is generally selected during your enrollment period for health care. They…

I know =) I'm just being positive. I'm both a Dr. and lost my father to cancer (after a third relapse no less).

Indeed, this is why I diagnose broken bones via xrays from my home office. I've had my fill of soul crushing family discussions in the waiting room.

To be fair, Obama has "owned" the term and even the white house refers to the ACA as Obamacare now. Which is why it's now called his "signature legislature." But I'm totally on board with your direction here of him attempting to use it as a pejorative.

Actually, "Obamacare" or the ACA is what was put in place to do away with plans such as these. The ACA was designed to put in place regulations to remove plans such as these due to loop holes that leave people uncovered by either disability or medical.

The ACA has fingers pointed at it when people are ignorant of what…

Hell, forblizzard they could look at it as investing in a healthy work community. Or investing in their own future. The guy has experience with their titles, and hiring new people is expensive =)

Actually, after re-reading the situation, it sounds as if the medical care is covered, but his personal expenses are not. As he's not working, he's relying on short and long term disability to cover his personal bills. Evidently, long term disability isn't kicking in quickly enough.

Fair enough, that is indeed the case after re-reading. I was thrown off by the statement by Luke, which in this case has nothing to do with the American medical insurance system, but rather the plan that Mr. Nakada signed up for. (Which is not to berate the guy for a lack of foresight regarding this possibility, who…

I more meant to have a line of tanks shooting over where the building would have previously impeded the shots. Not actually have a tank formation drive through the area where the building was/partially still is.

Make it public enough that PR says it'd be a good thing and they will ;)

Honestly, I'm rather curious as to why he doesn't have medical insurance anymore, as it's now Illegal to refuse coverage to someone with pre-existing conditions, where-as it didn't used to be.

Thanks to "Thanks to the wonders of the American medical and insurance system," this statement, the replies are going to go in a completely different direction than what should be going on.

Yes, but that's not a robot, it's what nightmares are made out of.

Joking aside, there seems to be two schools of robots at the moment. The heavy more industrial looking ones who shuffle around and look like they have an absolute horrible center balance, and those who you REALLY don't want to gain sentience any time…

That's definitely cool, I think that works pretty well. I like the C4 mechanic you mentioned for the purpose of sniping. While I'm not really into modern era shooters, the tech is neat to keep up with. Perhaps I'll take a look at the next game in the series when it comes out. (yea I know BF4 just came out, but I have…

You've pretty much covered it =) I stopped playing the CoD and BF games when it left the WW2 era. I'm simply not into modern era shooters. But the tech is always interesting. Thanks for the clarification.
