    Overall cost of what? Where does it appear in the firm's cost accounting?

    You're wrong again, I see. I ran my own profitable business for 25 years, and was a founding principal of another.

    The GOP Senate blocked everything Obama wanted to do except for ObamaCare when they had 60 votes for 35 days. Which most Republicans don't know.

    Bologna. They are taxes on profits and just won't go to their investors like their incredible obsession today.... Used to be 35% now 10% make it 17%, BFD

    Your theory about corporations investing in America is garbage LOL. We need the government to spend on infrastructure and education and training. We have fallen behind the world the last 40 years

    Why would I? You are correct. Of course you are referring to one of many hidden taxes. All tax burdens ultimately fall upon the individual

    Lie of the Year: 'If you like your health care plan, you can keep it' [/quote]

    It was an illegitimate bill to begin with. It was passed with a simple majority vote in a budgetary process called reconciliation.

    Introduction to Budget “Reconciliation”

    The ACA was never meant to be passed masquerading as a cost cutting measure. It was pushed through by the Democrats only in this manner because they couldn't even get all their own party on board for it. Why on earth would the Republicans want to "fix" a bill that should never have been passed in the first place?

    Fallen behind by what standard and what is it in which you think business invest. We already spend HUGE amounts on infrastructure but that does us no good if we don't have the private business investment to support it. Everytime a private business creates a job, thus creating a taxpayer, it invests in America. Everytime a private business buys a new piece if equipment. Everytime a new factory is built, everytime a new storefront is built. All the training they invest in many times hand in hand with local government. You really think the only "investing in America" is when the government takes money from a citizen and spends it?

    Thanks for admitting that you have never been in business, never had a job, don't know any economics, and get all your "information" from right-wing conspiracy websites.

    Only a tiny part of it was passed by reconciliation. And that part was just about statistics I don't even know. Very obscure stuff and not essential period meanwhile reconciliation has been used by the GOP in a huge giveaway to the rich which has ruined the non-rich the last 40 years. We have a flat tax system now if you count all taxes. You are misinformed totally of course.

    So many people signed up for the wrong networks, were most of the people who lost their doctor. There were regulations like cutting the amount insurers and big pharma could spend on non-medical, put competition was supposed to bring down costs period it was a Republican bill. They won't vote for any bill they lied all that time . You are totally misinformed LOL the Rupert Murdoch corporation at Your service.

    I actually had an Obama Care "Silver" plan. I live in a Rural area with a small/medium size hospital and 3 medical groups, 1 large and 2 small. The hospital accepted my policy but the 1 large medical group that staffs the hospital doctors does NOT. That means if I'm hospitalized my policy coverage's with deductible and yearly out of pocket applies to the Hospital's bill but not the Doctors who would be out of network and covered only 30%. Since the Doctors and Facilities in the area accept Obama Care policies from just 2 providers, the networks are very important. Provider #1's insurance covers a number of doctors in my area, but if I needed services like X-Ray, MRI and such I had to drive 45 miles down a mountain road if I didn't want to pay 70% of the bill. Provider #2's insurance covered a number of facilities in my area so if I needed services like X-Ray, MRI and such they are available locally, however if I want to see a doctor I had to drive 45 miles down a mountain road if I didn't want to pay 70% of the bill. With the Obama Crap plan, I have to make a 90 mile round trip for a stinking X-Ray. Since I live in the mountains, the road to the flat lands isn't always available so if I needed an X-Ray I'm just (*)(*)(*)(*) outta luck and have to pay the 70%.

    I couldn't cancel my Obama Crap policy fast enough. Obama Care apparently has no provisions for canceling mid-year. The subsidies stopped and so did the coverage. It's all good....right? Wrong! When I did my taxes my subsidies were calculated in accordance with my gross wages for the YEAR. Since I went from 28 to 40 hours my income rose substantially. I got hammered on my taxes, even though the policy was gone and so were the subsidies half way through the year. Thanks Biden and the Democrats.....

    .......
    PLEASE STOP HELPING ME!​

    I've had BCBS through a former employer. What plan do you have ? Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum and what's your deductible and yearly out of pocket?
