  - This may be one reason. - Jody - 10/30/2013 8:33:45 AM
    - Do you live in a state where they refused to set up an exchange? - alcaray - 10/30/2013 4:33:19 PM
- Ours went up $400 a month - TB - 10/30/2013 3:04:30 AM
  - You went through the CA exchange, and shopped, right? - alcaray - 10/30/2013 4:31:50 PM
    - I have employer-provided insurance, and it's Health Net. - TB - 10/30/2013 5:08:41 PM
      - Lots of folks benefit from the competetive listings on the exchanges. You don't have to earn the subsidy to benefit. - alcaray - 10/30/2013 6:45:35 PM
        
        There have been competitive listing websites online for years. - TB - 10/30/2013 7:02:57 PM

        9 million. - RobVG - 11/1/2013 1:35:07 AM
        
        Considerably less than that, right? - alcaray - 11/1/2013 5:40:23 AM
        
        You're right. Let's just make that 3 million. - RobVG - 11/1/2013 2:38:44 PM

        They aren't "sacrificed". And TB's "statistics" are merely predictions. - alcaray - 11/3/2013 6:26:59 PM
        
        Time out. - RobVG - 11/3/2013 8:08:58 PM
        
        Do you honestly think "clear numbers" will make an impression? - TB - 11/3/2013 8:44:53 PM
        
        Well, if you weren' - alcaray - 11/3/2013 8:41:06 PM

        Wait until the employer mandate hits. - TB - 10/31/2013 10:54:25 PM
        
        I wonder how part D would have destroyed the universe, if it hadn't been a Republican invention. - alcaray - 10/31/2013 11:23:58 PM
        
        Nope. - TB - 10/31/2013 11:42:20 PM
        
        I guess I am too stupid to see the connection between your post and Gruber's statistics. - alcaray - 11/1/2013 1:19:33 AM
        
        You know, I'm going to actually give this a shot: - TB - 11/1/2013 3:47:25 AM
        
        Sorry, when you said "statistics" I thought you contested his numbers somehow. - alcaray - 11/1/2013 5:25:01 AM
        
        I contested Gruber's whole damn premise. - TB - 11/1/2013 3:47:47 PM
        
        jello-nailing = convincing your opposite number that you are right and he is wrong. - alcaray - 11/1/2013 6:11:21 PM
        
        P.S. - TB - 10/31/2013 11:07:18 PM
