    http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/16/us/us-to-end-coverage-under-health-care-law-for-tens-of-thousands.html?rref=politics&module=Ribbon&version=context&region=Header&action=click&contentCollection=Politics&pgtype=article

    And, as the article points out, some. if not many of those losing coverage, could be losing it because of problems that still exist with HC.gov.
    This type of inefficacy and incompetence involving federal government's new involvement in HC was as predicable as the sun rising from the east, but as time rolls on don't expect it to improve because if large federal bureaucracies have taught us anything it's that it won't. That too is predicable.

    The country didn't need (or deserve) Obamacare when it became law and still doesn't. But, it is the law and we're stuck with it, forever, regardless of costs or how poorly the federal bureaucracy manages it. Why anyone perceived such a massive shift in HC policy was within the capability of the federal government in the first place is perplexing and continuing to defend it despite it's obvious failure on so many levels is even more so. It was bad law then, it's bad law now and it won't be tweaked into becoming good law. Never happen.

    Let me get this straight. You hate the ACA (Slavery! Tyranny! Communism!) and yet now you are whining that it isn't working as well as it should, in your opinion. >>>MOD EDIT Off Topic Removed<<<

    Yes, but what are the chances this reality will be widely discussed in the media??? The only topics they're be coving are abortion and women's "health" issues because that's what dem's are hoping to win on. I mean, besides the fact dem's don't really have a lot of options, they're strategy depends on scaring the crap out of (or angering) women and minorities to the point they'll vote against rep's. It's worked for them over and over again and they're going to rely on it this time too. Will it work? Who knows, but with the inept leadership running the GOP and the dem's large media pool of "helpers", I won't bet against it.

    We may very well hate the ACA, but we'd want it to work. Why? It's funded with US taxpayer dollars! Likewise, if the Democratic Plans can create a strong economy, then by all means! Vice-versa for Republicans.

    As law-abiding citizens, we have the right to expect quality service and when it's not provided, we have the right to fix it. Left or Right.

    No, I want it to fail miserably. And it will given time. You cant tax the healthy to pay for the sick.

    you're describing the gop

    obviously you've never studied the financial theory of insurance


    Insurance is the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in exchange for payment. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss.

    An insurer, or insurance carrier, is a company selling the insurance; the insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

    The transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively small loss in the form of payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to compensate (indemnify) the insured in the case of a financial (personal) loss. The insured receives a contract, called the insurance policy, which details the conditions and circumstances under which the insured will be financially compensated.

    Married to an insurance agent for 15 years. Know enough about it. I don't need your cut and paste.

    It's already failing miserably, but take heart ungrateful kulak in need of liquidation. This epic failure and all the carnage surrounding it are necessary to achieve the glorious goal of forcing everyone into the same government-run, single-payer system that has so spectacularly failed our nation's veterans.

    Viva the Fundamental Transformation!

    you're projecting your own situation


    gallup says it isn't failing, just the opposite, but of course you won't look at the facts

    Well, that explains why the GOP is poised to take over the Senate in November. :roll:

    Sure it is, and you can keep your doctor and your HC plan if you like them, too.

    Your penchant for projection is entertaining, but it is you who is ignoring all the job cuts and reductions in full-time employment, the website faceplant, the massive cost overruns, the millions of HC plans lost, the higher costs of the unACA-compliant plans that cover things people don't want or need, the freedom and control people have lost over their own HI/HC decisions, Obama's numerous implementation delays to minimize the political damage to Democraps, etc., etc., and that's because you won't look at the facts.

    Here's another fact for you to ignore:

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/obama_and_democrats_health_care_plan-1130.html

    Newsflash: You, Obama and the rest of the Babeuvian Illiterati are out of step with the majority of Americans. Again, because you and your comrades can't and won't look at the facts.

    'Whining'...no, perhaps 'reminding' is a better word as the mess was predicted with uncanny accuracy and denied by the left in chorus...
