Good. elleng Aug 2016 #1
I was unaware the law allowed insurers to withdraw from obamacare. Seems like a fatal flaw. grahamhgreen Aug 2016 #2
I agree, elleng Aug 2016 #6
You can't force companies to lose money. former9thward Aug 2016 #29
But it seems you can force consumers to pay big mark-ups for health financing HereSince1628 Aug 2016 #40
But it's perfectly acceptable to force people off of health insurance Wednesdays Aug 2016 #42
That was and is the choice of the American people. Hortensis Aug 2016 #46
They don't even exist unless we allow it. We can force them to do what we will. grahamhgreen Aug 2016 #53
Maybe in your world but not mine. former9thward Aug 2016 #61

We need a public option, agreed? grahamhgreen Aug 2016 #56

Looking from some assurance from Hillary supporters, and then, by her. grahamhgreen Aug 2016 #4
First of all if all Dems... sheshe2 Aug 2016 #10
She has said she would. Hillary Clinton is one of America's most honest politicians. SunSeeker Aug 2016 #11
Excellent! I look forward to reading her specific legislation! grahamhgreen Aug 2016 #17
Good. Now get to work getting the vote out so we have a Dem House. nt SunSeeker Aug 2016 #20
Then you don't agree with me. Stubborn Aug 2016 #36
I agree that Politifact leans conservative. All the more reason that chart is impressive. nt SunSeeker Aug 2016 #50
Then why the "LOL"? SunSeeker Aug 2016 #66
And if you don't get such "assurance"? George II Aug 2016 #38
I'm sure I will! It's a positive issue! grahamhgreen Aug 2016 #48
Since she's been advocating for it since 2001 KMOD Aug 2016 #5

It's starting to look like they can't. white_wolf Aug 2016 #27
Apparently, they can't! grahamhgreen Aug 2016 #58
