Wrong! Cancelled without replacement options is definitely what is happening.

Why are you trying so hard to excuse this when you have no information other than "I would bet"? You seem to have no clue. Aetna, USAA, United, Humana, Anthem Blue Cross, all left my state's individual market and I have heard similar news from other states (though haven't checked those). That's the first and third largest providers in the country. USAA is continually ranked the best insurance company in America.

Way to spread the Demo talking points like a good drone to help deflect criticism from dear leader's agenda. Whatever the problems with Part D may have been, 1 million Americans signed up in the first 28 days. Get back to your regularly scheduled programmed defense the Obamacare apocalypse.

Where does the notion that conservatives supported "Romneycare" come from? That topic was always Criticism #1 of Romney, from the day he announced his presidential candidacy right on up to election day. It's what made conservative voters hold their noses when they pulled their levers for Romney. That was his biggest hill to climb among conservative voters in the primaries who widely viewed his Massachusetts record as proof that he was not conservative. The idea that conservatives who are against ACA but who voted for Romney are hypocrites because he once had a state health care plan is an incredibly disingenuous leap of logic and/or a vast ignorance of the political process both in Mass. and the federal elections.

Hey, but, congratulations on combining five logical fallacies into one topic. Your question was based on a Strawman Argument built upon a False Analogy, Overgeneralization, Post Hoc Argument, perhaps some Guilt By Association, all standing upon Argument From Ignorance. And that doesn't even include your thread title. Nice setup for Rod, too, who can knock down that Strawman with a wave of his hand because of his neighbor or something.

Journalist Barbara Walters and friends are in on this religion.

BARBARA WALTERS: Well, you’ve touched on it to a degree. He made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be – I shouldn’t say this at Christmastime, but – the next messiah. And the whole ObamaCare, or whatever you want to call it, the Affordable Health Act, it just hasn’t worked for him, and he’s stumbled around on it, and people feel very disappointed because they expected more.

Could it be that St. Barack is the messiah and the journalists are his children? They could have handed out anointing oil at his inauguration and the journalists would have climbed over each other to be first in line to dab it on his feet.

This is an important article and I appreciate Rod finding it. Some day we'll all be in that same sinking boat when they get everyone on government health insurance. Hiltzik doesn't mean to, but his article illustrates how screwed up government health insurance care via his Medicaid patient examples. What he is illustrating is called the Medicaid Paradox.

Heritage.org: Thus, we arrive at the great Medicaid paradox: out of control spending coupled with limited access and low quality of care for beneficiaries. President Obama’s solution was to expand Medicaid and temporarily increase the federal government’s share of Medicaid spending.

ACA will follow the same path. It's fiscal plan is an impossibility, it's costs will necessarily spiral out of control, benefits will inevitably be trimmed and care will be rationed.

Let's hope so.

I do not want to see the 20-point correction that BofA/Merrill Lynch is calling for 2014.

Ooooh, evil Dark Money. Sounds like a comic book. If if there were some fraction of truth to this $64 million dollar problem, the U.S. alone spends $21 billion dollars per year to keep the professors fudging their models.

Marc Morano: The study counts all money raised by all conservative groups as somehow being for global warming issues!

Big filament.

Sunspot and filament. This might be the best one. Seeing was not good but I got a lot of frames. Processed with AviStack.
