Nobody in America will ever be denied care. Go to an emergency room and read the rules on the wall. I know this first hand... It worked for me...
So you freeloaded and the rest of us had to pick up your tab?
See my last post, I am far from a freeloader and only used govt assistance as last resort. Only once in my life while my wife was pregnant and had a heart problem after the birth.
I'm sorry your wife went through that. That said, the kind of medical emergency she experienced is the exact reason why people carry insurance. If you opt not to carry insurance there is no reason why others should need to subsidize your medical bills should there be another such emergency.
I'm not a big fan of the ACA but stories like this remind me it is not all bad.
Why, he is representing what the conservative base wants.
And they lost the election.
I know that the Tea Terrorists don't care about the "will of the people" if it doesn't agree with them but.... there is no end to that sentence.
He lost the election. The people have spoken. I'm so sorry if a few policies have to be cancelled because they don't fit with the new law. Shit happens. Luckily, there's a new Health Care Insurance Law which is designed to make it "affordable" for as many people as possible.

Isn't that lucky?
remember POD, these are republicans you are talking about. they do not want to do a fucking thing to help anybody other than their rich buddies. they would rather shut down the government than allow 30 million people to get health insurance. the same people who, mind you, ALWAYS vote to fund raining bombs down on other countries...unless obama wants to do it... :fp:
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
ok now. 17 republicans have come out today saying they want a clean bill to stop the shutdown. those 17, plus the 200 democrats would pass the vote to end this standoff. boehner will not allow a vote. fuck this guy.
i called his office and yelled at a staffer for a few minutes. poor kid, but i feel better now.
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
Anyone who supports a party who cries like a bunch of children when they don't get their way is delusional. And that's the GOP. They caused the shutdown, they have no clue what compromise is, they don't know how politics is supposed to be run and they have a leader who surely doesn't deserve to be a leader.
No one party caused any insurance company to cancel anyone's insurance. Your insurance company did that, while pointing the finger in the other direction.
The current GOP is in shambles, and they are trying to take the rest of it with us. I think the ACA is a big mess, although the goal is laudable. But this attempt to force their radical conservative agenda on the US holding the government hostage is outrageous and should be illegal. As is the gerrymandering that ensures these idiots re-election despite their radical views
go ahead, support the assholes, the petulent children who are willing to put ideology over the people.
they did not get their way so they are gonna hold the government hostage.
the gop says they are pro business. how is shutting down the government going to help business?
the markets are already affected by this.
how is taking health insurance away from 30 million plus americans a good thing?
republicans do not give a flying fuck about the middle and lower class.
Yes....
Nobody in America will ever be denied care. Go to an emergency room and read the rules on the wall. I know this first hand... It worked for me...
This is true for emergency conditions only. This is not the answer for people with chronic illnesses and cancer. You will not get this treated in an ER unless you have an acute or very advanced problem
you try briging your child with cancer to an emergency room.
you try going to an emergency room to have your multiple sclerosis treated.
You see what kind of care you get for your skin rash, diabetes, bleeding ulcer or kidney problems at an emergency room.
They don't treat that there. You need medical insurance for that. Or just pay the tens of thousands of dollars it costs to have those treated without. OR... buy insurance.
WASHINGTON -- In the hours since the government shut down, House Republicans have slowly but steadily been coming forward to say they're ready to pass a bill to fund the government with no strings attached.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the number of those Republicans hit 21 -- surpassing the magic 17 votes needed to pass a clean funding bill if all 200 Democrats stick together and team up with them. Of course, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would have to be willing to put that bill on the floor in the first place. But if he did, the votes appear to be there for passage, at which point the bill would sail through the Senate and be signed by President Barack Obama, ending the shutdown.
Here's who those House Republicans are, and why they say they're done with trying to force through provisions to delay or defund Obamacare in order to keep the government running. We'll update the list when, or if, more come in.

so what the fuck is the problem, republicans?? it is YOUR BILL!
:fp: :fp: :fp:
seriously, your guy ran on repealing obamacare, then he LOSES the election, and you lost seats in the house and senate.
is the guy who won the election supposed to govern the same way the losing guy would have???
:nono: :nono: :nono:
come on now. you all are more intelligent than that.
did bush govern the way gore and kerry would have? did clinton govern the way dole would have?
you all need to wake up from this fantasy world you live in that somewhere states that temper tantrums do in fact make you get your way...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
12 republicans now ready to fund the government no strings attached...they are jumping from the sinking ship that is the gop brand...

but it won't happen.
The Koch Brothers own John Boehner and he won't allow it to come to a vote.
This is the grown up equivalent of a child losing a game of Monopoly, flipping the board over, bursting into tears and running out of the room.
Well, since Boehner is known for crying, this just seems so fitting. So embarrassing for this country. I'm embarrassed.
