Dont’ worry he is just trying to put you guys out of business.
“Well.. other than the fact that one disaster was natural and unavoidable, and the other was self-inflicted...”
Or in other words, one was responding to an extreme natural disaster, and the other was trying to clean up the intentional economic mess created by the President’s deliberate lie.
Bump
The asshat killed my insurance.
Still can’t line up new insurance because the asshat opened his big, fat asshat mouth today.
Pretty much a certainty - millions have been kicked off their plans and haven't been able to acquire "suitable replacements".
Obama lied, healthcare died.
obama has called a meeting at the White Hut today with Insurance industry people.
This is where the official “bribe” gets delivered.
He will promise them Risk Corridor cash to cover his wretched ass. This will be illegal because those funds were to be used only with ACA plans, not canceled plans. Not to mention, it is a bribe.
