    But that pretty much sums up why he's lost all credibility. It's fairly obvious that he said the things he said because he was trying to get re-elected and the "truth" wasn't going to cut it. So people feel duped and now they're pissed. He has further complicated the issue with his "fix" that...

    That makes sense on the part of the insurer. It would be like Sprint or AT&T canceling the old unlimited calling plans and forcing you into a data plan despite you not really giving a shit about data. But the main beef here is that this time, consumer mistreatment has been ushered in by new...

    I'm curious, what do you think was the motivation of the insurance companies to cancel these plans intentionally? And if the administration knew that these plans were going to be canceled with the initiation of the ACA, what was their motivation and why are you not holding them accountable in...

    Wasn't my analogy, it was Kreugen's. I don't think what you are saying is accurate in regards to the use of those plans but I only have anecdotal support to back that up. But unless you can back what you're saying up with some sort of evidence, I don't necessarily believe those plans had no...

    I get your drift but if cost were never an issue, why not just buy the best quality every time regardless of cost? Because quality and value are subjective. A "substandard" plan to you may have been all I needed. I have a 55" LED, my mother-in-law has a 32"...she just doesn't give a shit about...

    There was pretty extensive coverage of how this was going to play out by "conservative" news sources (WSJ) including concern about the defunding of Medicare Advantage.

    Not being confrontational here but who gets to decide what is valuable? That's like telling someone they have to have a $1000 NVIDIA 3DFX Voodoo Monster 3 graphics card because they wont have enough teraflops to run EQ when all they want is to play minesweeper.

    As I said, I'm sure that many employer funded group plans are already compliant with the ACA but I suspect that we'll see many more cancellations once this legislation is applied in January. I think I've heard figures of 5 million individual policies being cancelled? Would it not stand to reason...

    80% of people have group plans provided by their employers, the recent cancellations were primarily for individual plans, hence all the cancellations of individual plans. As I understand it, the mandate for ACA compliance of group plans isn't until Jan 2014. As I further understand it, most...

    I guess I could have paced myself better and I've watched a ton of shows after multiple seasons have aired, but I think I watched them too fast. I'll be re-watching them periodically but I think I would have preferred some air in between episodes. My fault entirely but it was like being a kid in...

    Surprisingly good game! Not earth shattering, but has some cool aspects that I wish D3 would have incorporated a la the combining essences and enchanting weapons. Companion seems much more customizable as well but I've really only played a limited amount. I like the setting but I never saw...

    Sunken cost fallacy. You have it. I'm curious if the younger brother did think that they were going to get away with it. Young, invincibility complex plus apathy plus pot = marathon bomber? Dude was going to class after the shit. Huh?
