OK, I'm officially done with this debt crisis.

She seems really demoralized.

Jon just asked her, "Do you think I am stupid?"

She also wouldn't answer the question, "How many people are enrolled in Obamacare right now?"

I am guessing close to zero.

But she said there have been thousands of people signed up for the .com account.

Which just got completely refreshed:

mid all the attention, bugs, and work happening at Healthcare.gov in light of the Affordable Care Act, potential registrants talking to phone support today have been told that all user passwords are being reset to help address the site's login woes. And the tech supports behind Healthcare.gov will be asking more users to act in the name of fixing the site, too. According to registrants speaking with Ars, individuals whose logins never made it to the site's database will have to re-register using a different username, as their previously chosen names are now stuck in authentication limbo.

Supposedly these are veterans who were arrested for not leaving their war memorial.

I miss Jimmy Carter. Yeah he was awful but at least you never got the sense he was out and out anti-American. I simply can't say the same about Obama and his minions.

Peeps were talking about the park services working really hard to keep people from parks/monuments/scenic overlooks, to the point of taking over private property and/or arresting people.

This place is privately owned, but on federal land. Got shutdown, reopened, got re-shutdown, but is now open.

Making fun of the shutdown.

“Of course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”

No shit?

Just makes you want to scream in someone's face, doesn't it.

Come on, default.

1.5 days left. Competing plans in House and Senate.

House Republicans are working to pass their own plan to reopen government and avert an impending Thursday default deadline instead of waiting for Senate leaders who are nearing agreement on a competing budget offer.

However, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, struck a cautious tone about how the House would proceed following a nearly two-hour meeting with GOP lawmakers. "There are a lot of opinions about what direction to go. There have been no decisions about what exactly we will do," he said.

Those last two thoughts sum up both the White House and Congress for the past decade or so, John. Nice one.

Pretty sure the House will rubber stamp whatever the Senate passes.

Doctors should just do their shit for the minimum they can, and do it for public service.

Post by **GORDON** » Fri Oct 18, 2013 5:19 pm

I'm still not sure why so many people see health care as a "right."

Post by **TPRJones** » Fri Oct 18, 2013 7:07 pm

Too many people can't handle the idea of life and death being in the hands of the marketplace. But it's not an unlimited resource so it's either that or communistic distribution, and they refuse to pick. So we are changing our default from the former to the latter.
