    Hawaii already has universal health care.
    There is an employer mandate that requires a standard health insurance policy be provided by the employer to every employee who works at least 20 hours a week.

    Yes, and anyone can have an accident going down the highway through no fault of their own, but that does not mean that they can force me OR anyone else to pay for those damages...

    The same thing with accidents. If you get killed because your house fell on your head, don't force me or anyone to pay for your funeral. Your family may ASK for me to help out (and I might help out), but to FORCE people to help is wrong.

    And don't forget too, that any government procurement contracts favor minority or female owned businesses...you get extra points for your skin color or gender with the u.s. gubmint.

    If this is true, Obamacare will die under its own weight like a morbidly obese person. We wont need congress to do anything, it will die on its own. What we will need to do is cut a hole out of the wall at the capitol and extricate it with a crane and load it on a flatbed, cremate it and Obama can put it on his mantle and look at it every day to remind him of what a failed president he was.

    :roll:

    Every time I have signed on for a quote, it has worked from day ONE.

    May I suggest the problem may not be at the website. :lol:

    BTW, unlike the whackjob postings made by the Obama-hating propaganda puppets, here is a quote I just got for someone.

    A single 60 year old making $16,000 per year, gets a ZERO deductible, a TOTAL annual out of pocket of $2,200. Doctor visits, PREFERRED BRAND medicine copays and most other copays are in a range from $3 to $6!!!!

    Monthly premium? ONE DOLLAR!


    Go and see for yourself, and quit listening to the propaganda circus. https://www.coveredca.com/shopandcompare/#calculator

    :lol:

    Its laughable how uneducated people are about things like insurance.

    When someone with insurance has a claim, and you carry insurance,you ARE paying for the damage and funeral! :lol:

    And with healthcare, if YOU don't have insurance, when you end up at an ER and die or declare bankruptcy ( the Right Wings idea of "financial responsibility" :roll:), everyone else pays for your bills as well. We will assume that you don't have a few hundred thousand you are willing to give up, which is why every Rightie seems to lock everything up in corporations and LLCs and live in Right Wing states where creditors cannot take your house for debts.

    Keep up the agitprop.

    Word on the street is that most of these sign ups were via phone, mail, pony express, semaphore, telex and carrier pigeon.

    Seriously Dave? Making $16,000 a year? I'm part time making $24,000. That example is just above the Medicaid line, everyone else is paying higher rates to support him.

    The guy has his own business. Just as it is for the millionaires, the income-shielding deductions are AMAZING! :)

    Great for people making $16,000 a year, sucks for anyone making a little more.

    The Outstanding Public Debt as of 13 Oct 2013 at 08:10:44 AM GMT is:

    The estimated population of the United States is 316,835,085 so each citizen's share of this debt is $52,872.38.​

    The costs are calculated to be a small percentage of annual income.

    If by the phrase a "little more", you mean $60,000 per year more, I guess so. But even then, that does leave you with MORE expendable income after paying for this health insurance than the person making $16,000 /year.

    Nice to see the eunuch palace guard press (NYT) finally publishing the truth about the most incompetent executive this country has ever had. The FAIL is pervasive, expensive, and maybe worst, well documented BEFORE LAUNCH. They knew it was a POS. They Knew it was pure FAIL. And they plowed ahead, full throttle, into the mountain. Morons.

    Why does Cruella Sebelius still have a job?


    These clowns will hold sway over your health care, not just your health insurance, soon enough. How can they possible be trusted? How could anyone expect the level of Big Fed health care to rise above utter crap? You cannot. Crap is the default.
