Bug Blog by Cuco Rocha Choose Life Over 7 million people signed up for health insurance from the Affordable Care Act. No one signed up for the Republican alternative health plan, known only as "Death Panels."
People who had difficulty with the exchange in their state was due to the fact that their governors and state legislature didn’t cooperate. One state (SD) had just their friend’s insurance companies available so there were no choices and inadequate coverage, and some state legislators not allowing the fill of the medicare gap. Thank your state governor or state legislators for your difficulties.
You can also thank Fox News and conservative talk radio for telling people that, along with reverse mortgages being a great thing to do, rolling your IRA over into gold and not to bother with the ACA enrollment because you’ll never get online and it won’t work when you’re there, anyway. Forgetting to tell people that they can use telephones to enroll, as well.
it’s the democrats with the death panels – sure people have signed up – w\but between premiums, and deductibles, nothing is covered. $1200 premium ($100/mo), $6000 deductible and preventative care is not covered – that is so helpful.
We use the word ‘bureaucrat’ for either a government functionary or a member of a non-governmental administrative hierarchy, but that does not equate them morally. The government official is ultimately backed by the entire panoply of government power: guns, tanks, bombers, missiles, etc. But economic power is in no way comparable. As Ayn Rand used to put it, it’s the difference between a gun and a dollar. That is a difference you seem not to see. We should fear the man with a gun more than we would the man with a billion dollars.
What a load of misinformation you’ve all gobbled down like Halloween candy.And thanks for your concern for the 44,000 a year that have died for lack of insurance. And for the nonexistent alternatives your masters provide.

When it comes time to pull the plug on you, the decision should be yours or a loved one’s, not some federal bureaucrat’s.
