So only California is counted ?

The WSJ reported less than 1/2 in the 17 states where the Fed runs the exchange.

People should set their priorities but a president should never tell them what they should buy first where it comes down to private businesses.
Pimping? He's a ***** and that is all he has ever been.

I remember Richard Nixon and Richard Nixon had more honor and integrity in his little finger than the current idiot in the white house.

His words are wise. Now Mr. President, practice what you preach in regards to how you spend tax dollars. Rather than raising taxes to cover short falls, you should cut spending to cover the short falls. How much did your nation building in Libya cost us? How much did it cost to interfere in Syria? What is it costing us to rattle the saber over the Ukraine?
What will it cost us to insure illegals rather than making E-Verify mandatory?
This is what happens when you give stuff away for free. Obama now is horrified that the people who had gotten used to freebies are now complaining. What ingrates! How dare they!

Can't save on your own the feds will do it for you and take an amount from your weekly paycheck and save it for you in an account.

That's better than raising my taxes to take care of you because you didn't save.

No, it USED to be up to the individual to decide, but now the IRS is involved.

Based on this thread topic and content, people still need to make prudent decisions with regard to their basic needs and in many cases, with their limited dollars. There can only be so many free lunches.

This is where the dictator's argument is flawed because he's arrogant and out of touch.

If health care costs were equal to that of the cable bill, more would purchase it. Since it's out of reach already, people take their chances and enjoy their paycheck to paycheck lives with the little entertainment afforded them (cable t.v.).

300 dollars plus per month is totally out of reach for most Americans. His wife needs to iron that into his underwear so he gets it.

That is quite hilarious since Nixon led us into the Vietnam War and he "resigned" as President! We still are paying for Vets because of him.

Who is the "idiot" now? Obama stopped 2 Wars and brought troops home.

really? i didnt know nixon was president in 1961. silly me i thought he was elected to office in 1968, and was the one that got us OUT of vietnam. hmmm, perhaps then it was nixon that was assassinated in 1963, and kennedy was elected in 1968. wow, i knew liberals were rewriting history, but i didnt realize how far you all went in screwing it up.
