... Unfortunately, the marketplace is not functioning,”...

Sure it is. The healthcare marketplace is working just like a Soviet food service marketplace.

The “brass plan” involves a piece of whale blubber and a calving glacier.

I think the fact that you were going to need a BIG government “navigator” to sign up should have been a red flag.

The public response to Obama Care is, Obama, we don’t care.

Things I'd rather do than sign up for 0bamaCare...

Wind surf the Bering Sea in January.

Sun bathe on the tundra at the height of mosquito season.

Strap bacon to my torso and swim the Karluk River during the salmon run.

Go crab fishing with Captain Keith.

Sun bathe on the tundra at the height of mosquito season.

I have done that.

Thanks!

“Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole.”

LOL. Or should I?

[TigersEye]

Dang you’re quick, Geron. You read all that and posted back in less than 20 seconds. I’ll remember to never challenge you to snatch a pebble from my hand. lol

“As far as the state goes, we’re just kind of throwing our people out there and letting them navigate, if they can’t navigate that’s too bad, if they get fined that’s too bad, that’s our stance?” Bret Kolb, the director of the Alaska Division of Insurance, said the state’s only option is to direct people to the federal sign-up site

lol... they really think the average person is too stupid to find a website or call a phone number without their help.

[TigersEye]

I’m glad you’re alive to tell the tale. heh

[GeronL]

There is a town called North Pole and it’s not at the North Pole. No where near it. It’s actually part of the Fairbanks metropolitan area.

It’s about 1,700 miles from the North Pole.

[TigersEye]

More importantly; would you rather do that again or sign up for 0bamaCare?
We need the voice of experience here. ;^)

[GeronL]

I am far too fat and lazy to go crab fishing, I would probably be made into bait by those crabby crabbers.

[Jet Jaguar]

It's a real town.

She is a real representative.

It doesn’t sound like you’d have the stamina to make it throught the 0bamaCare signup process. :-)
