My operating assumption is that every one who posts here

A-does it good faith ,and

B wants roughly the same thing as me.At a minimum

o full employment with a minimum wage which would support a family

o a National Health System like those in Europe

o no use of torture, and no capital punishment

o universal PreK

Where I(maybe we) differ from Peter- no- name is in our (or at least my )belief that in general Obama wants those same things.But they're not easy.

It appears you have a similar problem comprehending simple statements as PS ,OGD. I was responding to Flav's statement " The ACA is up, it's working it avoided the added pain of a painful hospital bill for the couple discussed at TPM" This is a clear, if incorrect, statement. I assumed that he hadn't read the whole article since it required following a link and the headline inferred the ACA connection. Using all caps in a comment is considered yelling on line, FYI and writing that someone is lying calling someone a hypocrite and a troll is name calling in any format. Since you infer that I am also lying about my brother's Catch 22 situation I would be wasting my time responding to your drivel, although I just did.

Peter Schwartz... Oh... Okay

Peter Schwartz... Oh... Okay I see... . . .

He simply likes dropping in to blow hot smoke out of his asteroid-orifice.

If calling him out on that is being a hypocrite, sign me up.

In reply to Hey Peter Schwartz... You

He's sort of copy-catting just criticisms of his approach leveled at him elsewhere.

His online MO...as he explained it to MW elsewhere...is to get nasty with folks as a way of getting them to reveal themselves as hypocrites, evil thinkers, and various other sorts of malefactors. He regards politesse as beneath a straight-shooting something or other such as himself.

Hey Peter Schwartz... You have more patience that I do . . .

After reading his first two sentences I was initially going to tell him to shove a sock in his piehole...

"...I know you are having trouble comprehending this complicated program, PS but you don't need to shout and call names."

And I'm still trying to find where you (Peter Schwartz) were shouting and calling him names.

Maybe in an alternate universe?

Cue... Twilight Zone music...

In reply to I know you are having trouble

I dunno, Peter, your usual arrogance in commenting led you to say, "You haven't read the article closely..."

Except upon an actual close reading of the article, it doesn't at all say what you claim it says. It says nothing about whether they got their insurance through an exchange or whether they had it before, bought it outside an exchange, or had it through their employer. Your comment stands, alongside most of your others, only inside your head.

But even if we grant your statement, arguendo, and it could be true, it's hardly a case of "depravity," as you also claim. OGD has it right on this point. It's worth it, financially, to be insured, and if the ACA helps you get that peace of mind, great. You should have your brother call my brother.

All the blather about "government-run" sites is beside the point here and kinda sorta outs you as a troll.

Yadda yadda yadda yadda . . .

I read the entire TPM article...

My takeaway on it is that I personally see this couple as pointing out that due to having coverage, whether it was through the marketplace or not, afforded them to NOT to have to go though what so many uninsured have gone through in the past.

I see these young folks pointing to the ACA system as affording people the ability, for those who DO wish to gain coverage, that the coverage is now available to them through the marketplace and on a much more level playing field, so to speak.

BTW ... Why don't you have your "brother" come in and personally tell us the story about being "...refused Obamacare coverage." Second hand anecdotes, nightmare scenarios and unverifiable hearsay doesn't cut it.

In reply to being insured under the ACA,

I know you are having trouble comprehending this complicated program, PS but you don't need to shout and call names. Most everyone knows that these exchanges are government run sites designed to enact the mandates of the ACA and assist people in purchasing private insurance along with applying for subsidies. They would not exist without the ACA nor would the penalties for noncompliance and people can only get access to the subsidies through them, at least for now. Since the smiling couple with the dead baby made no claim that they got their insurance through an exchange but did make a promotion for Enroll America and for others to use the exchanges, my comment stands.

That's interesting. My

That's interesting. My brother, an independent truck driver, has saved $900 a month on his new insurance and gotten better insurance in the bargain. Another friend has saved $800 and also gotten better insurance.

In reply to I guess you didn't read the

being insured under the ACA, they already have good insurance..

First of all, NO ONE gets insured "under the ACA." The ACA doesn't insure anyone. You still don't understand this. Second, the article doesn't say whether they got their insurance through an exchange or not. This is a bit of your usual lying.
