Smackaholic nails it! Not sure why Republicans are being blamed here. Besides, recall when Democrats were condemning Bush for recess appointments...and signing statements, exec orders, Gitmo, wiretapping, rendition? All cool and the gang now with Obama in charge. Petty politics, though? I thought co...

You do realize that your "specific examples" are basically the definition of anecdotal. Good God, you haven't changed a bit. Still the same diverting, deflecting, deceptive and dodging nimrod that you used to be. When it comes to political debate, you are the ultimate tar baby/tard baby. ...

As expected, it's quite obvious that most of you haven't got a clue about how health insurance works currently so you don't understand the changes. Who the fuck are you talking about? The truth about this bill is quite simple............it's a stepping stone to a single payor system. Period. That's...

The other gimmick here is the baseline expectation that as employers see health care costs go down, they'll push that savings into pay. Uh huh. That's why AT&T is announcing a $1 BILLION write down. John Deere and others announcing multi-hundred million dollar writedowns. Response from the Democ...

Anecdotal? What's wrong with you? I posted actual labor agreements specifying dependent care coverage. I posted actual coroporate websites, again, specifying dependent care coverage. You do know that that is the definition of anecdotal in this case right? Fucking moron. It's called providing specif...

JMak

Your links are, at best, anecdotal in support of your argument. I've yet to find, or see you post, anything definitive in terms of the real numbers involved here. And your assertion that I have a rep here as being a good poster is only going to hurt your argument. :lol: Anecdotal? What's wrong with...

I don't think I have ever seen an employer pick up the dependent care coverage 100%. Not even for cops and firefighters at the local level. It was fairly common in our area up until about 4 or 5 years ago. Public employees usually had full family coverage at 100%, and some agencies still do. And th...

Make up your mind, fuckface. LOL!! Is it an AP story or a yahoo story? ROFL!!! All I was pointing out is that it is widely quoted. Ok, so now we know you're a liar. You asserted that Yahoo was not the only ones saying it. You then "researched" it and found that lots of other sites have re...

JMak

Dumbshit, your Google search, for the most part, simply provides links to the AP copy. The NCSL site...they're major supporters of Obamacare. And they provide zero evidence to support their blanket statement about employers providing dependent care. I thought I posted this link last night. The major...

JMak

I don't follow your logic. If the kids are covered by the parent's employer provided plan, how are the kids paying the premiums? Isn't the employer paying the premiums for them? In my experience it is some yes and mostly no. Employers will have dependent care up to 25 in their plans but will either...

JMak

The yahoo points show up on numerous sites on the internet, but hey, they’re wrong because DrDipshit says they’re wrong. You provided a handful of companies to back up your point. As far as the companies that allow coverage to age 24, is that for all children, or only for those in school? Sorry, sl...

JMak

And now that more and more people are seeing how, as Yahoo puts it, this Obamacare "affects" us, we see the gap widening, again, between approve/disapprove . That's despite BSmack's insistence that support was growing as we found out more... This is an unmitigated disaster. Imposing years ...

JMak

You cannot expand coverage and reduce costs. Period. Full stop. Get back to me when you figure out which is more expensive, visiting a GP for a migrane or visiting an ER. But increasing coverage won't reduce costs? Seriously, are you just committed to being wrong your entire life? Dumbass, you've b...

JMak

See? It wasn't that hard. That Yahoo statement is wrong. I ran through some of the largest employers in the nation and example of local employers in MI. The Kaiser link I provided specifies which states define dependent care coverage and 35 states define it to at least 24, i.e., requiring dependent...

JMak

Aren't we already paying for everyone anyway? I don't get this entire thing. If an uninsured person ends up at an ER, we all pay for it. My college kid never goes to the doctor anyway. The ER is where a lot of uninsured go for primary care, and they can't be turned away. A typical ER visit runs abo...

Most employers already permit this up to age 25 Fucking link? You ass, how does one link something like that? I've been a labor relations contract specialist for over ten years.

1. Your Kids are Covered Starting this year, if you have an adult child who cannot get health insurance from his or her employer and is to some degree dependent on you financially, your child can stay on your insurance policy until he or she is 26 years old. Currently, many insurance companies do n...

JMak

I guess keeping dead beat kids on your policy til their 26 is gonna save my insurance company plenty of dough. And they will surely pass those savings on to me in the form of lower premiums. Actually it is going to save them plenty of dough. The VAST majority of people 19 to 26 barely use health ca...

An improvement? Supposedly under the old system there were nearly 50,000,000 without insurance. Under the new plan, there will only be 20,000,000. Under the old plan, we didn't have the deficit jumping another $60,000,000,000 over the next ten years. Under the new plan, we do. Vast improvements, ri...

The only part of the bill that doesn't sit well with me is the mandate that everyone must buy health insurance without offering up a plan that is affordable for everyone. I suspect that the public option will be coming at some point in the future. You ignorant ass...that was one of the things you j...

My former municipal employer in MI required at least 90hrs of college coursework as a minimum requirement to be hired as a cop. That was about the norm throughtout SE Michigan. Applicants with military service didn't have as advantage, though they did very well when applying for Dispatcher jobs.

Why is no one willing to address the doc fix? Obama and the Democrats cut reimbursements to doctors by 21%. They fully intend to restore those cuts...in another bill, though.
