Yet, so tiny, compared to a laptop or better yet, a monitor.
That's not the point. Of course while you're carrying around your dumb phone, your laptop, your iPod, and and your pager I'll just carry my smart phone with a 5.7 inch screen and not lug around all the other garbage.
Edit: I still can't find the faces, maybe you can on your lap top, so you may get me there.

But I'm not carrying anything around, that's what I've been saying!
Both sides can find articles and arguments that will support their stance. Like many, I feel like present day politicians are worthless. The truly good ones founded this country and laid out the foundation that each president has tried to erode since then.
Obamacare is conservative as hell. Liberals hate it....but the right is so ignorant they hate it just because Obama passed it. If Romney would have won they would embrace it. Total hypocrites.

I could care less if Obama or the Dems passed it.It sucks because it is not a good for the healthcare system as a whole.Although a couple of parts are worthy,many other parts are not.It is doing more harm than good. And it's costing regular folks a lot more money.As an employer who has paid my peoples insurance costs for 2 decades,I can tell you my employees now pay more for shittier coverage.Just look at how big pharma benefits from this shit.That should tell you a lot.

^ This. I know my deductible and out of pocket costs shot through the roof (making it so I can't afford to use my insurance), my premiums went up, and my coverage is worse. My wife couldn't renew her policy, and we just got to sit down and pick between one of the shitty policies on the health exchange or adding her to my shitty policy for way too much money. Pre-ACA I used to go to my doctor, took care of necessary exams/procedures, and had a couple of medications I took. Post-ACA I no longer visit a doctor, I no longer have wellness/preventative care check-ups, and have dropped any meds I used to take. The only thing my insurance is good for is keeping the fucking IRS off my ass and ticking the box that says I was covered by a qualified health plan for the year. The rich were unaffected by the ACA. The very poor benefited from the ACA with subsidized coverage. The vast middle class again takes it in the shorts. I don't care whether it was passed by Republicans, Democrats, Obama, Romney, Bush, Trump, or whomever. I just know I got screwed by its passage. I'd like to see it repealed, and either get the gov't completely out of the insurance game, or go all-in with some sort of single-payer system. What we have now is a grand compromise that delivered very little and costs us dearly.
Lots of things are better under Obama than Bush, but this isn't one of them.

It might not be better for YOU but it is better for millions of others. A tax increase won't be "better" for the rich but it will benefit the majority.

Whom is it better for? I had GREAT insurance from my old company. When I left I didn't renew the policy so I had to use Obamacare. It's horrible. It costs me DOUBLE of what it cost before and I have a fraction of the coverage.
I hope someone fixes this. As I see it I'm filling the profits of a few people rather than helping the mass of people.

You seriously can't see outside of your bubble?
It is better for the millions that could not get insurance because they had pre-existing conditions. It is better for the millions that could get cut from their plans because they developed cancer or another horrible disease. It is better for the millions who were unable to afford insurance and now can because of the income subsidies. It is better for the insurance companies as well....unfortunately.
Yes it sucks for a lot of people. But what you are experiencing is nothing different that what others have been experiencing for years before the act.

What bubble? I was all for Obamacare until I realized what it was really doing. Costing people money.
I am still for everyone to have affordable healthcare but this isn't it. Costs go up 10% a year no matter what.

Yes, by simply clicking "desktop version" on the page settings.

It needs some tweaking. Serious tweaking.
