Nor does it do that.

Who cares? The fact that she's going to be paying a lot more than someone would have just about 3 years her age doesn't exactly spur confidence that you're providing objective analysis.

Dr. Carson has proven that he is an idiot. He would get no respect for such an asinine statement from anybody but the Tea Party lunatics. They can have him.

I honestly didn't. I used the quote function. I always do. Did you add it later?
Once again 120.00? That is a mean cable bill.
The Potus is a liar. A bold faced liar.
Just like when he paraded a chemical engineer on stage and represented her as the average illegal. All to sell another bad bill. That is unless you think the average illegal is a highly educated engineer. The man can not tell the truth.

I don't doubt it.

Perhaps you'd find a lot more happiness in life if you let go of it.

Actually, he's absolutely correct.

But, you've demonstrated that you don't comprehend anything about why that's true, so, it would be reasonable to simply sigh and shake our heads at you.

For the first time in our history, it has become both legitimate and desired (by a small minority) to tax a person solely for being alive. If that isn't worse than slavery, then nothing is.

And yet you give a free pass to those within your party of choice. As I said before I disagree with Dr. Carson's analogy, but given the asinine statements made by politicians everyday, he is in good company. The difference between Carson and the POTUS? He actually knows something about the cost of healthcare, and what is broken in the system. Passing a law that forced people to buy a product instead of addressing what is broken solved very little and at best is a very short term fix.

I may have added that right after. And I said it's close to my cable bill, which, with Internet is $105. No options, there's only one cable company in my area.

I have been saying this on FB for years as well as on other forums on the net. Health care, immigration, guns, energy, printing fiat money with the federal reserve.....its all about control. He wanted to control solar energy but the technology su cked and the company went under. Everything about him is about control. He is a narcissist sociopath. A far left one at that.
