Isn't he sort of just your average slimy hack reporter along the lines of Limbaugh, OReilly, Hannity, Breitbart, Drudge, and other such shit as that? What is his expertise beyone Palins in that he is some authority on death panels? Aren't they both provably rather mentally defective and generally fucking cretinous? How is it 'proven true' to other than a fucking slobbering lunatic?

That "bean counters" will make the decisions on who gets what treatments. Based on costs/benefits analysis. Thus the term "death panels." What do you think people who are refused treatments determined to be too expensive, would call the "panels?"

Takes off, eh? Snicker. Apparently I'm not allowed to wonder about drugs. So this post has been edited although to tell the truth I'm not sure exactly whom I was supposedly accusing. Anyway.... 100,000 people "sign up". If you bother to read the actual data you find, buried in the fine print, that they don't know how many of these people actually will purchase health insurance. If you read the really small print - you find that the insurance companies don't know if the people are even real. And if you read the really really really small print - you find that half the people signed up were done so with phone, paper applications etc. Obamacare taking off... yeah.. lets see couple million people have lost insurance. 127,000 have gained it .. over two months. As compared to the 30 million.. oops 7 million target. Yeah.. and 3 new legal challenges. Popular opinion 2:1 against. Keep telling yourself that.

FR- I wonder (assuming that this becomes reality) how this will affect the cost of Obamacare.. "A new Gallup poll reveals that 28% of those surveyed have no intention of signing up for health insurance, as required by the Affordable Care Act and will pay the fine instead.

Does anyone know when (like once a year, twice a year, or????) and how long the "open enrollment" period is? Knowing this would be the difference between getting insurance or taking a chance if you enjoy good health.

Knowing this would be the difference between getting insurance or taking a chance if you enjoy good health. Open enrollment varies by company. Industry standard is once per year from Oct 1st - Dec 15th. There are group and other exceptions though. Some agencies offer an additional open enrollment period from May 1st - June 15th. If you get employer insurance, their group plan may have different open enrollment periods so check with your HR rep to find out for sure.

Then the dumb bastard eliminates MORE than half of the young by letting them ride free on their parents plans! (ride free up to age 26) WTF?

From the preliminary info given, there is an open enrollment period somewhere roughly every 4 months?

quote: ORIGINAL: papassion From the preliminary info given, there is an open enrollment period somewhere roughly every 4 months? No, once a year lasting about 10 weeks is industry standard. Group insurance is, generally, also going to be in that Oct 1 - Dec 15 time frame because that's how accounts are set up. If a new company opens up... say in July.. the 'first' group policy would run through until Dec 31 of that year then the new policy (and subsequent re-enrolls) would start on Jan 1 and run through the whole year. Any 'new' employee will get their coverage according to their company policy. That may mean they get insurance immediately through their new company or they may have a 30/60 or even 90 day waiting period before being allowed to enroll. That's not an 'open' enrollment though.. it's special enrollment due to a life change event (new job).

" http://www.thestreet.com/story/12137472/1/forget-obamacare-one-in-four-americans-say-theyll-pay-the-fine.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO Well, in once sense its a back door toward single payer. Under the law, if the pool of subscribers is sicker than expected the US government steps in and makes the insurance companies whole. Brilliant, eh? Whole, in this case being 3% over median costs. So. Bottom line: the young are avoiding this program in droves. The insurance companies are cancelling millions as required by the ACA. Net extra cost to federal government looks to me to be about $50 billion dollars. 2013-2014. 2014-2015 the losses will exceed $600 billion. Of course in a real insurance market his would result in a death spiral. In this case the net result will depend who will win the election. Democrats desperate, will throw any amount of money into obama care to prove it a success. If the government does not pump money in via the risk corridors then I would expect to see a 20-25% increase in premiums which is now slated after the november elections.

I wonder which part you consider a lie: The fact that insurance companies are cancelling millions -- or -- the fact that the regulations written by O'dummo resulted in the cancellation of insurance plans. If its the former, there nothing much that I or anyone can do for you. If the latter I direct you to the July 7 2010 federal register when the CBO predicted that the regulations would require the cancellation of insurance policies.

Both of the motherfuckers are provable lies. And have been proven, lying nutsackerisms and their total ineptitude aqnd shiteating beside the point.

Or do different companies have different enrollment dates? If I would take a new job, I have 30-90 days and then insured?
