Yes just what America needs. More Progtards free to pursue their dreams of advanced Puppetry degrees and free lance writers blogging about Wymens struggle with the patriarch. That’s why they needed to blow up the healthcare that was working for over 80 % of the population.

His medication — which has cost us a co-pay of between $10 and $30 under every other plan he’s had since 2004 including one under Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan — would not be covered. At all . . . That’s $438 out of pocket. Every month. We are precisely the kind of folks they need to make these exchanges work. If it’s all poor, very sick people, Obama can kiss his legacy goodbye.

Steve actually thinks a monthly loss of at least ($438 minus $246) $212 on just one one prescription before any other treatment makes someone in an extremely high risk lifestyle "precisely the kind of folks they need to make these exchanges work"? These are educated liberals, and they are far stupider than I realized.

I have used insurance for multiple labor and delivery visits (a large but infrequent expense in most people's lives), for two terrible and shockingly expensive family disasters, and for annual routine expenses that are quite minor. Now that we're not having more kids, my insurance company is making money on my family and will continue to do so most years, as it should be. They were there and covered a whole series of surgeries and associated treatments when we had unexpected problems, which is what insurance is for, and I have no problem with them making a profit on average (which will NEVER happen with my family after what they spent, but the point is true in general). To expect Blue Cross to cover someone who will produce an annual loss, for decades, is absurd.

I also noticed the “ his income” would qualify him for Medicaid. If they are married isn’t it THEIR Income. So if hubby #2 makes a living why should they be getting Obamastash money?

Well, there have been persistent rumors floating around for years that Obama likes to screw homosexuals. Now we have, ahem, hard evidence.

Please allow me to offer my summation of the "unicorn mentality" that is Obamacare!

In 2009, at the height of the O'Care debate, we traveled to Santa Cruz, California. The "hippy" atmosphere was a bit of a turnoff for me - too many people accepting menial work, so they can be free to live the "good life". At restaurants, shops, tourist traps - we were waited on by kids (not all young) who looked like they should be beyond the waitress/waiter/store clerk stage in their careers. I felt like most of them were probably college grads who just didn't want to enter the 9 to 5 work world. That's their choice, no skin off my back.

On the third day, a Tuesday, we drove to a park, high above a favorite surfing spot. It was about 11:00 in the morning. We watched dozens of surfers, doing their thing, taking occasional breaks from the surf to sit on the cliffs and smoke a joint/drink a beer. Their ages seemed to range from the twenties to the fifties. I was a little surprised that so many "adults" could afford to be at the beach in the middle of the day. Then it hit me. They choose to wait tables at night so they can surf all day. AND, since they earn so little, WE WOULD SOON BE BUYING THEM HEALTH INSURANCE!

The one thing that used to keep people in the work world was health insurance. Obamacare has remedied that (as if it was some kind of curse). Now, they don't have to worry. If they don't work hard or choose to work in a menial job, they will have free health insurance, thanks to those who do work hard at tough jobs!

“””I didnt notice they were gay.””””

I deduced that from the very first sentence.

“...my partner and I...”

Normal people don’t talk like that.

Funniest thing I have read in a while.

To quote a great philosopher : You [redacted]ed up. You trusted us.

I guessed the same as you. It’s antiHIV medication he wants to send the rest of us the bill for.

All so he can chase midlife crisis unicorns and eat midlife crisis skittle poops.

He wants to be 18yrs old again. Old enough to have fun but with a nice safe hammock (ie, parents) there just in case things get too tough. Like paying for the medication his antiHIV medication.

State partially controlled Medical Insurance is Socialism, where competition is allowed.

State totally controlled Medical Insurance is Communism, where competition is not allowed.

Socialist Medical Insurance constitutes a partial violation of US Anti-Trust Laws.

Communist Medical Insurance constitutes a full violation of US Anti-Trust Laws.

Senator Harry Reid supports a single payor Medical Insurance system, totally controlled by the US Federal Government.

We want the ACA to work; the previous status quo certainly did not.

Sure it did. He as much as says so in the article.

A simple change in the law requiring insurers to offer plans to people with pre-existing conditions would have solved the only problem the author and his, ahem, "partner" seem to have had with "the previous status quo".

And it would have solved that problem without burdening ALL of us with the millions of NEW problems Obamacare has created.

Not exactly.

He is treating his “husband” as if they are not married. If they were married, they would both be on Steve’s plan.
Steve was trying to get Miles to do everything wrong to make a point. Miles should have been on Steve’s plan OR on Medicaid.
Steve, you fought the law and the law won. It’s science. You can’t argue with science.
