Default Affordable Care Act 2014

Before jumping on CVS, it may be prudent to learn the reasons why this is merely a precursor of things to come in the entire corporate world due to The Affordable Care Act beginning 2014.

The libs asked for it, the libs got it on November 6th when they voted for socialism. CVS has to protect its bottom line.

Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy.

There is nothing Socialist about the Affordable Care Act. Socialism would be a Single Payer system. The ACA maintains the same private industry we already have, it just insures more folks, and the small penalty one has to pay for not signing up is weak.

It's no more socialist than Car Insurance. True Socialism is me having to fit the bill for someone who gets their primary care in the ER (AND holds up the line) because they don't have ANY insurance. But as usual, I wouldn't expect the cons to understand these nuances of logic that the rest of the World easily grasps.

Utter nonsense. Socialism LOL!! Simple: It costs the company more money to treat obesity. The health insurance companies have been raising their rates steadily for decades.

Since when does CVS Corp. "treat obesity"?

Kindly impart your vast knowledge of every detail of the ACA to Nancy Pelosi .... even SHE needs to read the bill to know what's "in it".

The uninformed refuse to see the beginning of the slippery slope.

Don't even respond, not interested in suffering fools.

And this would be an example of totalitarianism, kiddies

At least she made an absolutely brilliant case as to why the ACA is Socialism though! Cuz it's like, long and stuff!

As for what Holly meant, it's pretty obvious, but I'll let her explain it if she wishes to violate a North Carolina decree of silence!

CVS pays more in insurance claims obviously. Read their own reasoning on this topic.

That makes two of us.

Um, you know, it would be nice if you educated yourself on the term "socialism." That way we could could have an informed, meaningful and productive conversation in depth. Until then, you are just rattling off Rush Limbaughisms. Obamacase is a system based on capitalism, dontchaknow.

Through the premiums it pays to its health care provider to provide services to fatties. Obesity causes heart and circulatory problems and also diabetes, which are expensive conditions to treat.
