But if you live in a state that starts offering garbage plans, and your company decides to only let you have the garbage plan wouldn't you be boned? (Also, couldn't some companies "relocate" their HQ to said state so they could do the same thing?)

Teachers' Union, don't fail me now! Put those dues to work.

I'm not surprised. I suspect that emotions on health care policy run much hotter among political junkies than they do among low info, reflexive lever pullers.

Health care is extremely complex. On complex issues, most people just adopt the views of their favorite team.

Einbert moving to Hawaii. Are there any plans in motion?

I moved out of America entirely a few years ago. Looking at things from the outside gives you a very different perspective while still possessing the information and cultural knowledge necessary to make sense of America's actions for non-Americans who continually ask me, "What the **** is going on in America?" or some variant of that question.

I am very sad now.

I was in Tallinn last week, Bob. It's like we're following each other around the world.

I'm gonna be in Riga for 4 nights starting tomorrow. You there?

So the richest people in the country gt their 3% tax cut and thousands will die and thousands more will end up bankrupt.

Buying politicians is the best investment money can buy. The ROI is more than you can get anywhere else.

Republicans are the worst and democrats are right behind them. I love how Obama is getting his Wall Street rewards now.

I wonder how WE THE PEOPLE put up with it but I can see so many brainwashed people here that i think we have no chance.

And you are brainwashed if you are wiling to be against your own interests. You believe is some mythical "free market" like it is a religion. The wealthiest people spend billions to shape the way you think. All well documented in the book "Dark Money"

I think you're a bit behind Mayo.

Unless you're posting that to point out the misleading CNN headline.

Suck all the dicks CNN

Did Jules get a new account?

Wow GOP gives the finger to the AARP, they must be suicidal.

Republican malevolent scumbags literally increased the chances I will die in the next 4 years by about 5 percentage points, but this made me more angry.

Dumbasses can't even get their football analogies right. Who wants to punt the ball into the end zone?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa there, buddy. 3.8%. Truly a crushing burden for people making $400k+ per year or whatever the threshold for it is.
Sports are bread and circuses for the plebs.

It would be awesome if you could take and post a picture of the statue of Mikhail Tal.

Cool. Check out my blog in the Travel section of the forums. Should have a shot by the beginning of next week.

Not many people turning poker pro today.

Portman just got reelected by a mile. It is was a MANDATE to do what they are doing now. No way that dickhead saves the day.

That's Michael Savage's take.

Might as well throw all forms of art in there too.

Riga is awesome. Enjoy it SUB.

Appears to be super-cheap as well. I was paying less than 5 Euros for an Uber in Tallinn and apparently Riga is even cheaper.

Subsidized health care just like the rest of Europe. Go EHIC!!

Well this could explain things. Conservative media ignored health care bill -- then trumpeted its passage
