How will the Affordable Care Act laws affect you?

[KrazyHorse]

In your mind do specifics and minutiae mean the same thing?

[Ben Kenobi]

You are a special snowflake.

The preferred nomenclature is 'Canadian'.

Well you made a blanket statement. I'm just asking you to explain it.

[KrazyHorse]

I have no problem with explaining it. My response was to koyaanitsiqqqioiiiaai

[Sava]

Okay. It's just that none of your posts talked about a specific aspect of the ACA and how it relates to the "bureaucracy".

Explain like I'm five.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Are you retarded?

No, I'm actually playing nicely with others. As in, let's be intellectually honest enough to accept the premise for a moment and discuss the specific ramifications of the law as it exists, not the fact that it exists at all. That you don't see a reason for it is not an argument against how the plan has been implemented.

Which you know.

Sava: All of the posts were about specific aspects of the aca, you ****ing imbecile.

I'm already approaching this discussion from the "I'm a complete imbecile". I'm just asking you to explain your statement.

And no, you haven't mentioned anything specific relating to the ACA... just random vague generalities.

That's fine if you just want to mindlessly rant. Just don't pretend that what you're doing is anything else but that.

Post 1: insurance exchanges - no need for them that I can see

Post 2: detailed coverage requirements

Post 3: a trio of relatively minor yet hilariously bad policies

We've already experienced a scenario where these things did not exist... and it was a disaster.

So you're solution is... go back to an insurance marketplace that was basically a colossal failure?

And I'm done with you. Either engage on the 5 specific things I mentioned or **** off

So your argument is that random laws are better than what was in existence? Preserved for posterity.

[Sava]

I'm trying to engage on the things you said. But you haven't explained anything beyond: "this thing... it is stupid".

So please, professor... enlighten me.

You may have simply misread my statement then. It was about the government RUNNING THE MARKET, as in the federal health exchange. Not as in "interfering in the market"... which would have been overly generic.

[Sava]

It seems like the market had its chance... and failed miserably.
