Well, perhaps you should have lobbyied the private insurance carriers not to get that mandate in the ACA. They are very upset that they have gained 2.5 million more paying customers .... oh, wait. Never mind.

In the fantasy land that you seem to come from everybody gets everything and no one pays for it

Not at all. But don't let that affect your desire to make the silly snarky comment.

He's right and you're wrong. But you're always wrong. Doesn't stop you though.

But this particular lobby is OK because it was approved by the King.

Right - that's why I was so angry at Obama for taking single payer off the table, and passing health care reform that mostly, for all the 40 million it newly ensures, is a giveaway to the lobbyists of the insurance companies and PhARMA

Because the headline of 2.5 million is obviously (if you had bothered to read the article) referring only the response to one single provision within the ACA regarding the 2.5 million insured that are 21-26 allowed to stay on their parents insurance. Yup. It worked. They are insured.

Without the ACA, they would have been part of the rapid downward line for those who can no longer afford insurance, or lost their jobs, or no longer get insurance through work. These are not covered, now, by any provisions in the ACA, and will not be until the state insurance exchanges are up and running. Then, their line will go back up, too.

In other words, 2.5 million of the massive uninsured in their 20's have been insured now due to ACA provisions.

How many additional outside those kids have been temporarily insured through the goverment website? Through the changes to SCHIP, Medicaid? Will be when the exchanges are fully operational within the states (unless idiots like Gov. Haley continue to try and subvert them).

Every senior on Medicare has now had the "donut hole" fixed, and has cheaper Rx drugs, and less expensive preventive visits. The average senior has received $800-$1000 a year in lower healthcare costs due to provisions in the ACA.

The Republicans worse nightmare was to see all the ACA provisions kick in before the 2012 election. It's coming true.

I thought people were considered adults when they turned 18 and were no longer the responsibilty of their parents. To refer to someone in their 20's as a "kid" just seems a little ridiculous.....they are old enough to vote.They are old enough to go to war and fight and die for their country.
If a person over 18 commits a crime the police dont come after their parents they come after the adult who did the crime.
Its another step into the nanny state that is the agenda of some of the leaders of this country.
Just recently read a Time article talking about the downfall of France's perfect "socialistic" state and that the rest of Europe is sure to go down the same hill. Yeah they had a good 50 to 60 year run but now there isnt any money left to keep supporting the masses and their needs, LOL f uckers are gonna have to get jobs and pay for insurance.
