S'all good. You and your ilk have done quite enough already.
- Jody -

You made an extravagant claim. You gave no foundation for it.

Not extravagant.

Do you live in a state where they refused to set up an exchange?

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.

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.

They aren't "sacrificed". And TB's "statistics" are merely predictions.

Time out.

11/3/2013 8:08:58 PM
Do you honestly think "clear numbers" will make an impression?

Nope.

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 -

jello-nailing = convincing your opposite number that you are right and he is wrong.
