The sad thing about the left like Tirge Caps is that they never liked the exchanges idea anyway because they believe in government single payer care for absolutely free.... Wheee!
I forget which American mainstream media ditz was over in London for the Olympics, and shut her finger in a door - she went to get “free NHS” care and was amazed, absolutely amazed when the British media folks over there were horrified - they insisted she go to a private doc and they paid for it. She didn’t understand, and was even more surprised to be told that anyone on the north side of 75K a year there buys their own, private care because the NHS is a total disaster.
“Free lunch! Come and get your free lunch!”
“Hey buddy! I’ll have some of that free lunch!”
“OK. That’ll be twenty bucks.”
“Wait a minute! I thought you said this was a free lunch. What’s the twenty bucks for?”
“Overhead.”
“What’s ‘Overhead’?”
“The IRS is gonna be overyourhead with a club if you don’t give me twenty bucks.”
“Ohhhhhh.......so it’s not really free, and if I don’t pay I get in trouble with the government?”
“Now you got it.”
“Well, here’s the twenty bucks. Where’s my food?”
“Eh....you don’t want to eat here. The food is terrible.”
“Don’t I get something for my money?”
“Sure! You get to vote for me in the next election. “
“That’s it? Don’t I get anything else?”
“Sure! You see that car?”
“You mean that Mercedes? I get that car?”
“No. You get to look at it. That’s my car. Imagine how happy I am using your money to get me stuff. Isn’t that better than a lunch?”
“Not really.”
“Get outta here you filthy Republican! Free lunch! Come and get your free lunch!”

Yes, many employers pay for BUPA insurance -

The US libs don't realize the amount of private insurance in the UK. You usually get to see the same doctors but much quicker
Specially irrational is that all those features apply equally to teenagers and octogenerians.
Besides, by definition, any program that mandates covering pre-existing conditions is not insurance. It's welfare.
He got drunk off of Obama's Kool-Aid and is just now realizing it ...
Kevin Bacon [to President Obama]:
"Thank you Sir ... May I have another ???"
Well, I’m glad Obama didn’t delay Obamacare Implementation and the Individual Mandate until after the 2014 Elections, like the idiot Republicans wanted him to do.
We have a year to watch pissed off Liberals stew in it. Utopia, it isn’t just for idiot young people anymore.
Welcome to Logan’s Run Comrades.
My English aunt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and was rushed in for an operation, six months later.
I know what you mean. It infuriates me that all of us have to pay for the stupidity of the Obama voters, but I’m happy they are finally going to feel the results of their stupidity along with the rest of us. Maybe, just maybe, they will finally take off their rose-colored glasses and see that thing they elected for what he is.
But of all the habits they possess, wouldn’t you say “admitting they were wrong” about something is decidedly absent? They never admit they were wrong. About anything. They just move on to another topic. Or blame George Bush or now Ted Cruz or the Tea Party. Now you and I know how absurd that is but we still have to wade through the rhetoric. Honestly I get no juice out of them suffering, as much as I detest them.
