It feels like a mixture of ME1 and DAI.

This is such a ridiculous comment. I have been to Mexico almost every year since since 2000 and never once felt unsafe. Yeah, I wouldn’t go walking through the outer neighborhoods of Acapulco, but anywhere you would likely go in Cancun, Rivieria Maya, Playa del Carmen, Cabo, etc are as safe as any other touristy city…

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…

hahaha not even close. There were already taxes being taken out of your check for services, not all of which you could participate in. The military, highways, the nuclear regulatory commision, FEMA, FAA, FCC, NOAA, NASA, social security, midicaid; all paid for through taxes. Non optional taxes.

Those taxes are not…

I don’t know. I made the switch to a Surface Book back in November when they were on sale after Apple went off the rails with the MacBook Pro and I love it. It’s everything I want in a laptop; fast, light and still has the guts needed for the occasional video editing. The fact that I can detach the keyboard and use it…

This libertarian line is total bullshit. I really want to hear you say this after being diagnosed with cancer/some other serious illness or after you have had a serious accident. Put your money literally where your mouth is.

It’s called a risk pool. The more healthy people in the pool, the lower the cost of the insurance. That’s why you don’t to choose if your insurance group includes pregnant women and why I don’t get to choose if my group includes men who have prostate cancer or need Viagra. We need to stop thinking “well, this doesn’t…

Well said. Seems like this was just a reason to get enraged on a slow news day.

BUT BUT OUTRAGE@!?!

Yeah, but no one would care.

Yeah, but no one would care.

Or go to the ER when things get bad enough and let the taxpayers pay for it.

Why do you want to hurt us. What did we do.

For example, as an older established family we no longer need pre-natal and maternity care options. Some of the “minimum standards” set by the ACA made insurance more expensive for all. 

HIDEOUS

As an older, established family, a la carte is probably not actually something you are going to want, given that your health declines as you age. You would need to opt in to a whole host of things that a younger person would skip, and you would pay more for it than whatever you imagine maternity care to be costing you.

The whole point of insurance is shared risk. As an older person, you may not need prenatal or maternity care, but you definitely need prostate cancer coverage, an affliction which strikes about 6% of men in their 60s but only about 1 in 10,000 men in their thirties and no women. So my wife and I will gladly pay for…

With the tax penalty repealed, the young, healthy folks who choose to go without insurance won’t be paying into insurance plans. That means premiums have to go up for the people who stay.

These estimates are separate from the yearly increases. It’s comparing the two plans to each other, not to prices today. Prices go up every year; they did before the ACA, too.

You mean cleaning up the steaming pile of shit the last GOP administration left for us?

The multi trillion dollars we spent trying to fill in the hole that the Cheney administration swindled us into digging in Iraq?

The war that we’re still fighting?

Yet we also spend more then the next 10 nations combined on our military, just so we can run around playing hero for no pay, and the costs are adding up more and more every year. While the countries we are protecting enjoy universal healthcare, 30 days off per year for citizens, good retirement plans, etc., because…
