ParticipantIt is a drag to be sure. Actually canceling health insurance might not be a bad deal, even with the 2% penalty. Let’s say you make $100k a year, you pay the $2K penalty and then just go to TJ for all of your healthcare needs and prescriptions. You would still probably come out ahead of paying HI premiums and copays here.
The one that really confuses me is this one:
A new 40% excise tax, beginning in 2013, on high-cost health plans, defined as those providing coverage in excess of $8,500 for individuals and $23,000 for families. The House’s package of modifications includes higher threshold amounts and an initial effective date of 2018.
What does that even mean to provide coverage in excess of some amount? Does that mean you are covered for more than $8500/year? Seems pretty low to me.
ParticipantThe truth is that this generation will likely not live better than the previous. If / when people realize the American Dream is just that – a dream – then the political divide will become meaningless.

ParticipantTwo nitwits running for President. That surely will be a lot of fun.
I can’t imagine two more perfect examples of the average American. I think they’d be perfect.

ParticipantThe East India Company was a government-created monopoly; essentially an arm of the British government. True conservatives hate government sponsored monopolies.
Where did I say that conservatives were for government-sponsored monopolies? My post mentioned neither conservatives nor liberals. Also, the East India Company was a private corporation, not part of the British government. If it appeared to be an arm of the British government, that is only evidence of the power it was able to amass through corruption and collusion. East India Company profits went to shareholders (and of course as bribes to British officials), not to the British government as revenue.
