i switched from employer sponsored insurance to buying insurance from the individual markets last year.  basically no difference.  i pay a little less now, but get slightly less coverage.  it's very comparable.

Probably shouldn’t have passed a law requiring insurance to cover preexisting conditions, huh? Also, insurance premiums were exploding regardless of the individual mandate because not nearly enough young, healthy people were buying insurance, mandate be damned.

And not to quibble, but the primary aim of Obamacare was always expanding Medicaid. It has been marvelously “successful” (at running up massive costs) in that regard.

Democrats rammed this crap bill through, and it’s gonna get worse until they join with Pubs to fix the mess they made. By contrast, Pubs rammed through tax reform, which I suspect is going to be hugely popular.

Most of America has no idea how much Obamacare has mumped up insurance coverage for people that are not covered by the gov't or their employer (which is most of America).  For those people like myself who actually have to purchase our own insurance....my wife and son and i are on our 4th different provider in 4 years and pay around 3X what we were paying 5 years ago for less coverage and a much higher deductible.  It's basically a month long process (on the phone) each time our provider decides they aren't going to cover our "area" any longer.  It's a way bigger mess than most people realize.

That may all be true, to which the Dems would respond: “eff you.” Obamacare was designed to expand Medicaid and further degrade the private insurance model. It is a despicable law rammed through by despicable people and is still being defended by these folks. Until the pubs get more reinforcements or Dems finally come to the table, it’s going to be hard to undo the damage.

I don't think so but the comedy power house of Patton Oswald, Sarah Silverman and Jim Carrey all tweeted their displeasure for Trump during and after the sotu behind their comfy little gated communities.  You've heard of them right?  All very hilarious.
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

Not furious in the least.  I just find it ironic that he calls Trump a troll and tweet's out venomous crap just like he does..  The hypocrisy is awesome.  He was great in Balls of Fury though.

Such a funny thing to say.  He won the Presidency.  What should we do?  Revolt?  It's sad that you can't accept what he has accomplished regardless of what a tool he is.  Glad you're not bitter though.

I believe he's accomplished more than any other president in Year 1....isn't that right?

I never said that did I?  He's done well but the lib's can't acknowledge any of it without saying he's riding on Obama's coattail.  If he was actually that bad the economy and market would have crashed and burned by now right?

Clearly the stock market and economy are systemically racist. Just like the vaporis society and stuff.

Don is just experiencing the many benefits of white privilegeness.

You're better than this.  To not acknowledge ANY accomplishment regardless of him being a tool is silly.  Owning the libs now is simple anyway...
