Same.

Contract negotiations are in progress but currently our healthcare
premiums are on track to triple this time around.

Lets see what its actually at once its spent. Some good news would be welcome from somewhere at this point though.

Ooooops

Looks like previous claims regarding CA were... not quite accurate.

Not to mention one of its primary tenets is falling apart.


Guess not.

I can tell you didn't read the article past the headline.

% they describe is for "25 year old male non-smoker, buying insurance for yourself" and it goes up by astronomical 50$ or so per month.

Dur Dur Dur.

Right wants to hate ACA so much that they don't care that it actually a good thing - both for increasing coverage and controlling the costs.

ACA is not a good thing for many reasons. You just dont seem to care much about the downsides.

Ive known plenty of 25 year olds where 50$ a month was a pretty big deal. Plus thats non-smoker... expect to start seeing people lie about their habits/health conditions just so they can make ends meet. This will throw the models and predictions all out of whack, and probably end up in exorbitant expenditures on litigation, enforcement and investigation in the future.

The only dur dur here is coming from you.

There is absolutely nothing I can say, no data I can present that would make you change your mind. ACA to hard right = Obama, and derangement syndrome kicks in.

Thing is, even with all that teeth gnashing majority of Americans are for it. So keep at it, and conservatism will end up discarded on the heap of history, right next to Whigs.

Democratic party as it exists today sufficiently conservative to fill "right" role, while left wing can separate and form a new party. This way GOP can fade into regional "Jesus and gun nuts" Southern party.
