Here’s a neat little quiz to see if you know anything about PPACA:

Oh, and I scored 10 out of 10, apparently better than 99.6% of everyone who took it.

Is it true that obama his family the vp and pretty much anyone who had a hand in drafting this plan is exempt from participating in it? The guy driving in front of my on i-84 near hartford ct had that scribbled on a sign in his rear window.

26

8 out 10 better than 90%

27

That guy is an idiot.

I told my father we should have left boston earlier too much traffic on the way back. See my father hates driving there and my grandmother lives with my father’s sister for a few months a year and somehow i get roped into driving. Im a fan of driving from 15 mins outside of nyc to 15 mins outside of boston, dropping my grandmother off and then heading back to the greater nyc area. All in all about an 8 to 11 hour day depending on traffic and my nearly 60 year old father needing to piss every now and then. The few bostonites i did encounter had some not so nice things to say about both healthcare and the yankees. I got stick behind the fucker with the sign for about 30 mins.

Everyone in Congress is exempt.

we are not socialist country yet but its leaning that way as long as people think goverment should provide food, transportation, housing health care etc…
keep this up and we will end up like Greek, broke and angry. we get what we deserved.

31

Something tells me you have no idea what a socialist country is really like…

32

I scored 9/10 and I’ve never been to the US…

I do like to see how all this pans out.

I still think that healthcare costs too damn much and THAT is where the problem lies. I’m not sure that everyone having insurance is going to solve anything.

Here’s a tip. Nothing the government does is because they’re looking out for you. It’s because they’ve been paid by people who will benefit from whatever it is the government is pushing for. If anyone thinks the government gives a shit about you you’re living in a fantasy world.

I got 9 out of 10

For myself, my wife, my daughter and my daughter on the way, I pay $150 a month MORE than my mortgage for my health insurance. Our ‘competitive’ insurance makes it where I have to continue my freelance business in order to cover bills each month.

36

I make more than 400% of the poverty line, i’m hoping for a plan in the $1000/month range lol.

2 vendors my company deals with sent us memos about price increases due to the pending health care changes. Its a little less than 2 years away and companies are already using it as an excuse to gouge. These are companies that sell us single use o.r. products and single serving nutrition products (small bags of pretzels and 6oz cans of juice and soda for after surgery). I can’t wait to see what insurance companies charge for plans when it comes to those people who have employers that no longer offer insurance and make “too much” money to qualify for free or low cost plans.
