I have experienced the fucking grief that fucking blunt and cranky has experienced.

It's really fucking sad that you can't seem to fucking empathize.

I've lost several fucking loved ones to fucking accidents, fucking cancer, other fucking diseases. I'm older now so I have lot of fucking life experience.

That you have to be such a fucking stickler and be fucking offended about terms when a person's blog is clearly fucking labeled " Blunt and Cranky" fucking astounds me. You have many fucking tools at your disposal to not be offended. First, you can trash a thread. Second, if you get into a fucking thread you fucking dislike you can fucking easily get out of it with your fucking mouse. Use the left-fucking button to go back a page and get out of the fucking post you are fucking unhappy with.

This is a political fucking discussion forum. Not a fucking kindergarten where everyone needs to make nice with every fucking other one all the fucking time.

The ACA does not remove the profit motive. alarimer Jun 2014 #3

The ACA helped, by keeping my boy on my insurance for longer. riqster Jun 2014 #6

+1 The ACA entrenches the profit motive by ensuring that subsidies are paid for by taxpayers woo me with science Jun 2014 #19

I agree. And one of the big problems is how doctors are no longer trained in the truedelphi Jun 2014 #80

If you transform doctors into technicians who merely follow insurance company flowcharts for care, woo me with science Jun 2014 #83

The ACA helped get me an insurance plan my family and I could afford. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #112

Exactly right. riqster Jun 2014 #121

P.S. I can't believe the poster who chastised you for using "fuck" too many times or whatever nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #140

ACA forces everyone to purchase from these same bad actors (for profit insurers) nt Romulox Jun 2014 #20

Incorrect. riqster Jun 2014 #28

OK. But the ACA also *GUARANTEES* fat margins for Aetna, the company you singled out... Romulox Jun 2014 #29

It also requires them to spend more on care, and less on denying care. riqster Jun 2014 #34

Every red cent that Aetna makes, they make from denying care. That's how they work. nt Romulox Jun 2014 #36

OK, so you are against the ACA? Yes or No? riqster Jun 2014 #37

The ACA LIMITS their margins yodermon Jun 2014 #74

Very good point. riqster Jun 2014 #84

And, a big chunk of the 20% goes for administrative costs, marketing, maintaining systems, etc. Hoyt Jun 2014 #101

No, it restrains those margins frazzled Jun 2014 #111

I don't understand FBaggins Jun 2014 #81

The ACA forced Aetna to cover him. riqster Jun 2014 #85

Yeah, it took the real problem (for-profit insurers) and locked them in Doctor_J Jun 2014 #46

Crap. The ACA forced insurers to cover my kid. riqster Jun 2014 #53

Still crying from your post. There are no words to end the pain, but your words will save lives. freshwest Jun 2014 #47

I hope so. That is why I wrote them. riqster Jun 2014 #50

Err...no one is telling you that your kid should have died sooner Doctor_J Jun 2014 #48

You want an actual answer? People who would exploit this story and attempt to preach at the author Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #52

People who bash the ACA after I credit it for keeping my kid alive longer riqster Jun 2014 #55

I'm so sorry . cate94 Jun 2014 #40

Thank you. riqster Jun 2014 #42

The ACA won't help this much Doctor_J Jun 2014 #43

If you are going to us Bernie as avatar, you should post more accurate information Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #49

I allowed for those in my post Doctor_J Jun 2014 #54

But it is still profit over lives based healthcare FreakinDJ Jun 2014 #56

That's my only point in this thread, which I will now leave Doctor_J Jun 2014 #61

The ACA wasn't all bad. riqster Jun 2014 #90

Sad fact is, if it had been Medicare, chances are Medicare would have forced discharge that Hoyt Jun 2014 #102

Possible. But eliminating the profit motive would still help. riqster Jun 2014 #148

Actually the decision to cut off hospital funding would be made by an Hoyt Jun 2014 #155
