45. You keep claiming, in both this thread and your PM, that I'm defending corporate profits

How do you come to that conclusion? I've stated that I'm against the individual mandate, which indeed would increase corporate profits(since it is essentially giving the insurance industry a mandated monopoly).

In fact my larger take on this is that we need to scrap the the ACA altogether and push through a single payer program.

But somehow, in your eyes, I'm defending corporate profits.

Do you recognize how foolish that sounds?

As far as your "waiting for a response that seemed to not be forthcoming", what, do you think that I'm at your beck and call. Sorry, but I have a real life, things to do. It is spring now, trees to prune, grass to cut, etc. This is a discussion board, a hobby, not a priority, at least not in my life. If I want to talk with you, I will get back to you in the thread. But I'm not going to hang around for your every post with bated breath, I have much better things to do. For you to send me an insulting PM because in your opinion I didn't respond to you as fast as you wanted, well frankly, that is rude as all hell. Get over yourself and your own self importance.

As far as the rest of your post, it simply goes on to show how goddamn out of touch you are. An average increase of 12.5%? How many people do you think can really afford that? Furthermore, you don't address the rest of what I linked to, namely the reduction of benefits.

So I will let you mull that over for awhile. Meanwhile, my lunch is done and I'm going back out to work. I won't be getting back to any reply you make for awhile, if at all. Deal with it like a mature human being, and don't fire off any more insulting PM's. You aren't that special.
