What occupies my mind and in what percentages... and whether the percentages are correct...

I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to address that accusation.

All I'm going to say here is that clearly the piece shows that it is easy to get a bad deal with the way things are now. A friend would warn his friends. An asshat would try to prevent his friends from listening to the message for political reasons.

        The insurance companies do not currently have the info to do the math. Only a liar would say that he does. - alcaray - 11/5/2013 7:07:40 PM

        You said "all people are talking about". I thought you might be talking about me, so I clarified my position. - alcaray - 11/6/2013 1:31:47 AM
        
        I didn't mean you. Mainly prominent people in the news. Also I've started to listen to NPR. - RobVG - 11/6/2013 3:27:49 PM
- Did you read the actual letters (linked in the article)? - TB - 11/4/2013 9:35:27 PM
  - I looked at them as opposed to reading them. - alcaray - 11/5/2013 6:50:10 PM
    - "I certainly did not go to their websites. How is that pertinent when the accusation was about their marketing?" - TB - 11/5/2013 7:47:53 PM
      - Next time you make the "they refuse to note the facts" argument, please recall this thread. - alcaray - 11/5/2013 8:10:26 PM

  - Insurance companies have just as hard a time as anyone predicting the future, when there's a big change to take account of. - alcaray - 11/5/2013 7:18:45 PM
    - Individuals predict the future... - FrankC - 11/5/2013 9:07:51 PM
      - And using the very best data they have available. And it is always a gamble. - alcaray - 11/5/2013 11:58:11 PM

        To be fair, the signmaker might have been thinking "small-d" democrat. - TB - 11/5/2013 4:43:20 PM
