uh it shows the website works, which is something you denied

i've been around software enough to know that it's rare when a launch goes smoothly...i dunno why the launch of the website is such a goddamn big deal to you, you still haven't exactly articulated why exactly it's such a big goddamn deal that it didn't work on the first day

that's what i was getting at.

it's so fucking tiresome

i just love how starla blames "obamacare" for the fact that the insurance offered on the marketplace sucks

that's the industry, starla. it's not "obamacare"

jesus fucking christ

ultimately the reason the medical industry is so fucked up is because it's run for profit

i mean there's no amount of legislation that's going to rectify that, and there's no reason to blame the ACA for it

they're going to create a panel that chooses who gets to receive services, which, in spite of being a total falsehood, is way worse than before when underwriting departments chose who got to receive services.

i know, i mean that's exactly what insurance companies were doing and one of the things the ACA attempts to rectify

but it's weird how none of the pitchforks are for Aetna, they're all for fucking obama

find what I've already said about it, if something's unclear ask me

reading obsessive wonks and not being able to articulate a single reason why you think the way you do is one thing.

thinking your just not worth the effort is quite another

because politics

four years from now this will seem pretty funny to you trots

the one right after that one too actually, I should've kept reading

the helicopter

i grew up FB, i left you behind. I'm not coming back in a couple years and going "yeah maybe i was wrong about FB being mindlessly cynical and myopic about everything just because he's constantly worried about how things 'play' to 'the middle' which he doesn't understand or even connect with" especially when ultimately what you're concerned with is how obama plays to the far left blogosphere which will never be happy with anything because the vast majority of them are bourgeoisie that are completely out of touch with the people they ostensibly care about

without you knowing it, you sound like a beltway insider

i'm not coming back and going "oh it must be obamacare creating the corrupt for-profit health insurance industry, or its for-profit hospitals and it is obamacare to blame for it and it's obamacare that created it"

yeah sure obamacare is playing into it, but ultimately there's a lot of things it did that were good and your all or nothing attitude isn't productive or practical


AND STILL YOU HAVE YET TO SAY ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE

the helicopter

you wouldn't be revisiting me, I didn't quote myself I quoted you

i mean even tom tomorrow is kind of okay with ACA

and he's ultimately right about everything, not you

I'm Mr middle, are you insane

succeeding at goals isn't success? you're an idiot confirmed

the launch would be when the website opened, a fairly limited length of time. you can still shop, it will be around for years, that is not it's launch window. but thank you for playing order, please come again

i think you don't realize yet that you've been utterly destroyed

you still haven't explained to us why the launch is so important

I'll go easy on you guys and leave out the scrambling and maneuvering they did to hit their "goal "

you're welcome

you're the one who said you were worried about how things play to the middle

i mean what do you believe exactly, other than nihilism, do you even know?

i love how conducting an advertising blitz and interviews on between two ferns is "scrambling and maneuvering" in cynical nihilist world

you're the poster child for the political/intellectual suck that is the blogosphere

the death of rational discourse, thy name is future boy

still waiting

thats cool. i know you don't have the intellectual capacity for a coherent rebuttal so maybe you should neg rep a bunch of people and go make sandwiches at subway or whatever it is you do

I've had the same insurance for the past 7 years and it's never gone up that high.

The point is this, what about all of the other people out there who cannot afford high premiums, or can only afford what is in the marketplace, but are not going to get the medications or doctors that they need? If these plans will not offer the full range of care, then they still go without. This act was supposed to provide affordable care for everyone, and let me tell you, it's not affordable for me.

I did that in the first post

well i'm just gonna smoke drugs and watch the world burn
we'll all take turns
i'll get mine too
