Re: Three days..Three weeks..Three months..
it may surprise you, but "Communist Manifesto" was one of the 23 books I had to slog through in Political Science class in college. I know what communism entails, and I have no interest in that form of governance/economy. Never have. Now, socialism is another matter. We've had a socialist program in place in the US to some extent since around 1920. It has worked very well, with a mix of social programs and graduated taxation, whenever we've coupled it with a strongly regulated capitalism.

What's that got to do with the subject of this thread?

Re: Three days..Three weeks..Three months..
what is the point of the thread?...Three days passed, as did three weeks and now three months. The Earth has still continued to spin, the ACA is still law and the House still can't get anything done. Should be thread over.

Seems due to the president and his unlawful ways.
This thread is gonna be extended as to unravel the "sweater" that ObamaCare is wearing/waring.

Here's a some interesting thoughts....on the ObamaCare "sweater".
SURVEY SAYS OBAMACARE RATE SHOCKS ACCELERATING
Senate Democrats were starting to feel a little better about midterms. It was partly because of the White House publicity push claiming to have met enrollment standards for ObamaCare last week. But it was mostly because of a twofold strategy now on display: appeal to centrist voters by embracing some modest mitigations of the law while leaving President Obama to petrify Democratic base voters with targeted threats about what a Republican Senate might do. Let Obama, already unpopular with independents, play the heel while Senate Democrats get to adopt poses of concern and independence. Take that Nate Silver! But that happy thought bubble just got popped. Health-insurance premiums are accelerating at the fastest pace ever measured in a survey conducted by market analysts at Morgan Stanley. The forecast rise, largely attributable to ObamaCare, comes from a survey of insurance brokers around the country. As American Enterprise Institute scholar Scott Gottlieb explains for Forbes, the numbers are crushingly high (this chart highlights the spike).
[Among the states seeing the sharpest increases are several with competitive Senate races including: New Hampshire (forecast to suffer a 90-percent rate increase for individual plans), Colorado, Michigan, Georgia and Kentucky.]
Dems pay for premiums - Whatever any ads claim or however many talking points seep out of the White House, the most effective communications of the midterm cycle will be in the form of rate notices and cancellations from insurers. Just as flickering Republican hopes in 2008 were snuffed by the arrival in mailboxes of retirement account statements that revealed the magnitude of the damage caused by that year’s financial panic, health insurance rate cards will do the greatest damage to Democratic hopes of retaining the Senate. While Obama Democrats claim that success or failure of the law is reflected in how many people signed up for free or subsidized insurance, the real measure will be in how the law affects the insurance policies of the 85 percent of Americans who had coverage before the ObamaCare experiment began. If this forecast holds true and voters see insurance premium increases of the kind outlined in the survey, there’s no spin or strategy that can save a Senate majority.

OBAMACARE LAWSUIT FROM HOUSTON MOVING FORWARD
KATY, TEXAS--A lawsuit filed by a Houston area doctor against the Affordable Care Act is moving forward to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The lawsuit filed by Dr. Steven Hotze, founder of Hotze Health and Wellness Center in Katy, challenges the Obamacare law based upon the origination clause of the Constitution.
In referring to what is known as The Origination Clause, “Article 1, section 7 of the U.S. Constitution every tax bill, revenue bill has to start in the House of Representatives,” Hotze explained. “It can’t start in the Senate.”
In this exclusive interview below with Breitbart Texas, Dr. Hotze explains how the Senate took a Veterans Tax Credit bill that started in the House and stripped everything out of the bill, including the title, and substituted the Affordable Care Act legislation. “If the Senate can do that, then there is no origination clause, because, the Senate can turn any bill that came from the House into a tax raising bill, and that’s wrong.”
Dr. Hotze’s attorney, Andy Schlaffly told the Washington Times, “What’s nice about this case, Hotze v. Sebelius, is the trial court resolved all the procedural issues in favor of Dr. Hotze, so they got to the substance at the trial level,” said Mr. Schlafly. “That makes this case a stronger case than most of the other ones.”

Re: Three days..Three weeks..Three months..
sorry, Pud, this thread is over, nothing but whining left to do. The SCOTUS settled the matter. Despite what Breitbart claims(makes up) about this dubious lawsuit. Three months is done, the law still holds, 10 million folks got new insurance, healthcare outcomes are improving. Nothing to see here folks.

I see you are still towing the party in lock step.
Nothing unexpected.
Still tens of millions that will never sign up that
will bankrupt Demo-Care.
Still millions that can not afford the astronomical rates.
Still stuck with only one EXPENSIVE provider in this state.
Commieslick, you will never stop worshiping and obeying your Communist masters.
