New definition of a conservative:

A conservative is a former liberal who had their excellent, affordable health insurance cancelled and then found out they couldn’t afford to buy an Obamacare policy because they didn’t qualify for subsidies.

In other words, a conservative is a former liberal mugged by Obamacare.

The true believers can't be swayed. But the liberals and moderates who previously went eeny, meeny, miny, moe at the polling booth are gonna get riled up. And that might be enough for a GOP senate majority in 2014.

“I don’t want to be bashing the president. I don’t want to be bashing the ACA. I don’t want to come across as saying that. I am a big Obama fan.”

I ran that through the translator and this is what came out.

"Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me."

Too late: self-employed individuals are at risk for audit. If she's saying her income is $49K, it's likely that it's actually $60K, if not higher.

You are not kidding about the audit. That is why I keep every receipt and have a company card and account.

You have to do these things or it is a major mess come tax time. And an audit is much worse.

So Medicaid is way more appealing than a typical ACA insurance plan. The next bad effect we'll see will be people who adjust their income to stay under the thresholds which cause them to lose their subsidized or free plans.

And, during this first year, without employers being involved, there is no way for the government to document your actual income.

Accordingly, the income entry is on the "Honor System"...

It's in a boy's DNA to need daily doses of strenuous physical activity.

Looking back on my past thru today's glasses, I could easily have been diagnosed as having ADHD starting in the 5th grade...

Due to family issues, my straight A's up to that point began to decline but at least I wasn't subjected to being drugged out of my teenage years......
