Affordable Health Care?  Not from the cost I've seen posted.  What I'd really like to know is, are all the people signed up for it actually paying?  I just got this feeling.........

It is extremely affordable for people that don't have to pay their own way.

The "Washington Examiner". I need a better source. How many lives has "Obamacare" saved? People who had pre-existing conditions are now able to obtain coverage. There are not any maximum cost limitations. Before the ACA, once a company spent 3 million on your care, you could be kicked off of the plan. If one had a illness , such as cancer, that would occur within a couple of months, and they were left for dead. What is going to happen to those patients if the ACA is repealed?

The Washington Examiner just reported it.  The research was done by the American Action Forum.

In your concern regarding how many lives have been lost, lets take a look ( at the same time) at how many lives have been lost by those depending on the VA for their healthcare.  Furthermore, even though I am not in the medical field, I am VERY confident that most cancer treatments do not cost 3 million dollars over a couple of months.

I am a RN. My sister went to the ER, because she had an earplug stuck in her ear. Her bill was 2,000. They charged her for the oxygen saturation monitoring, the med given, the doctor's prescription;even though,  they couldnt remove the ear plug. She had to go to an ENT. Let's say it takes a year for a cancer patient to reach the 3 million dollar max(it takes a much shorter period of time). What does he/she do after they are kicked off of the plan?

I googled the "Washington Examiner". It is a conservative tabloid type newspaper. I am not suprised. The article is ridiculous. You guys fall for these type of articles all the time. I sort of feel sorry for y'all . Smh

My insurance went up $900 a month and my deductible almost quadrupled.  I guess that's fake news also.

Translation:  If you present information that is not from integrity laden MSNBC, NBC,ABC, CBS,CNBC, or ThinkProgress.org, she will not accept the information as factual.

So, Dove, what part of the research is wrong?

Oh, and let's not forget Dan Rather.  Which begs the question, why are the only reporters getting in trouble for Fake News, liberals ?  Based on the evidence Big Girl, you might want to get your news from Fox.  To my recollection, none of their reporters have knowingly reported a fake news story.

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
