The Community Reinvestment Act was touted as being "wildly successful"

It's funny how people are dimm enough to keep believing what they are spooned. Every indicator is that Obamacare will crush the US economy in a coup d'etat fashion. When we need less regulations, restrictions, and government - we get more of it! When you have a government where politicians can say "unemployment stimulates the economy" and mean it... you are in BIG TROUBLE!!!

I hear the jack boots (on the throat of freedom) marching... can you?

There are reductions in the costs planned, which should be reflected in the management of the medical facilities, don't you think? I nam not sure how that relates to what you posted earlier.

It has to because obama is funding present things with the 500 billio he cut from medicvare for the healthcare bill. In 2012 medciare payments to providers will be cut to 30% of what private insurance pays accordig to the medicare trustees. I gues that is why the wil save money as mnay can't get a doctor with that.More and more doctors are dropping medicare now.

It's not too difficult to find if you want to look it up. Apparently you don't. Carry on with your nonsense.

No one ever said that "unemployment stimulates the economy". The accurate quote is "unemployment benefits stimulate the economy"...and they do.

According to Moody's Analytics, for every dollar spent on unemployment benefits, the economy gets back a return of $1.61

For every dollar of relief as a tax cut, the economy sees an impact of $.32

Aetna's only price announcement so far this year is for people in the North East, in Connecticut, and it was a price drop. Insurance agencies are required to announce and get approval from regulators for large price increases. You state you live near Cleveland Ohio, which was not impacted at all by price changes.

Don't people know that lying decreases their the willingness of people to believe them in the future?

I assume you are not lyiing, so the only explaination I can guess at, is whoever your wife works for or you work for, is shifting the HC premium burden to employees. That shift has been going on for decades, and will continue. That is one reason why the HC Law is so needed. When it gets into full effect in 2014-2015, people will be able to afford what they would have to pay on premiums. What you may be experiencing, if your arent lying, is the real premium cost of Insurance. So, I think you make a good case FOR the ACA.
