If you got that through work, you are likely to be one of 25M to 50M people who will lose their employer coverage next year.

Huh. Well I'm going to have to cross that bridge when I get to it. I'm still on tilt with my tax statement . . . trying to push me over over the edge?

Odd how Kingspeed saves money and it costs you.

TOB should buy a place in NYC and a place in LA, and may then get subsidies. I saw KS went to a Broadway show this past weekend.

So, as long as you're okay, fuck everyone else? The latest statistics state that 4.2MM people were dropped from their current health care plan.

Easy max, it was a simple comment to Obama not keeping any of his promises. I meant it as kind of a chuckle that at least I got that. I know it doesn't read that way because sometimes/most times I am pro Obama here. But today, after writing a much bigger check than I anticipated, I am no fan Obama. This damn Obamacare better work out is all I can say at this point.

FWIW, I find your posts in this thead to be those of a guy who is starting to think he may have been a bit duped, and is starting to think more critically and objectively. Level-headed, which is nice to see.

Fair enough. I'm just getting a little tired of people supporting Obama when they get the benefits, screwing others, but then complain when they get the short end of the stick. If you want to pretend to be liberal, you should be willing and happy to pay your fair share.

Well thanks, but I would like to give my self a little more credit than that . I think I have been analyzing this somewhat correctly.

I believe this country has a problem with healthcare, but I was never sold on Obamacare (or duped). In the end I voted for Romney because I didn't think either could fix the healthcare problem and would rather see what Romney did with the economy. But when Obama was reelected, I knew he would push this agenda, could be more aggressive his second term and Obamacare was going to happen. So I jump on the Obama bandwagon and cheered on trying to solve this healthcare crisis . . . not because of what Obama says (he will lie to get votes) but because you cheer the home team and you hope to hell they know what they are doing.

Today, I see the anti-Obama crowd point and they were correct, Government is dipping deep into my pockets.

Oh shit i got get my prediction in . ..

TOB, sorry I'm being bitchy. It must be that time of the month...I need playoffs!

Hey taxes have me on tilt. I'm sure I'm a hard read on what I'm trying to say, especially today. You are right, that I would usually post against the guy complaining. I actually tried to post in a neutral manner that my taxes went way up. But I think my true emotions surfaced the more I posted.

You and I battle (some of my most memorable) but hopefully we are at the point where tomorrow is another day and we may or may not agree at that time.

There is no difference. A doctor should and can be responsible for deciding when and where they want to work. Many doctors and other medical professionals today don't accept insurance. They have every right in the world to do so if that's what they choose. This isn't a dictatorship.

So you're suggesting that doctors be able to deny anyone they choose and still get paid? Do you realize you're basically suggesting they have the ability to do a minimal amount of work for the cash they receive?
Most doctors make over 100K ( http://healthland.time.com/2012/04/27/doctors-salaries-who-earns-the-most-and-the-least/ ) and the ability to deny anybody they choose would greatly diminish our healthcare system.

Just to continue the saga of ToB's tax returns. When I file my taxes I learn someone had already filed under my name and SSN. Apparently my information has been compromised by the Archdiocese in the state of Washington. I kid you not.

It's been a hell of a tax year for this tired beat up (financially and emotionally) Blazer fan.

What are you talking about? They only get paid for the clients they take. It's their choice if they want to make less money.

Wow... That's crazy. Hope you get it all figured out.
