Aetna CEO Sees Obama Health Law Doubling Some Premiums
By Alex Nussbaum
Dec 13, 2012

Health insurance premiums may as much as double for some small businesses and individual buyers in the U.S. when the Affordable Care Act’s major provisions start in 2014, Aetna Inc.’s chief executive officer said.

While subsidies in the law will shield some people, other consumers who make too much for assistance are in for “premium rate shock,” Mark Bertolini, who runs the third-biggest U.S. health-insurance company, told analysts yesterday at a conference in New York. The prospect has spurred discussion of having Congress delay or phase in parts of the law, he said.

“We’ve shared it all with the people in Washington and I think it’s a big concern,” the CEO said. “We’re going to see some markets go up as much as as 100 percent.”
 
on a serious note

I have noted previously how easy it is to manipulate stats, like unemployment numbers to make THE BOSS look better


I am NOT saying they are, but it is just as easy to manipulate "government" workers......for instance, re-defining what a "government" worker is

Indeed.

Do we count the military? Or private contractors? Or the Postal Service?

W. O. W.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP.

Later in the story, we learn:

ICE officials complained that the delay was inappropriate, but DHS directed them several times not to act, the official said.

It was not immediately clear why federal immigration authorities would not have been notified sooner about Sanchez’s status.

Oh, it’s clear enough, and immediately too. Menendez is a Democrat. DHS under Democrat Janet Napolitano is a disaster, a department less interested in its actual statutory mission, securing the homeland, than its political mission, protecting Democrats. Terrorism is no longer terrorism to this DHS, but a “man-caused disaster.” The border cannot be secured. Deportable sex offenders aren’t deportable sex offenders if they work for Democrats in good standing with the Obama government.

That’s pretty clear
 
Busybody, looks like you caught me. Yeah, that's really what I look like even though recently my granddaughter thought a pic of Jamie Lee Curtis was me. But given that JLC is no longer young, your pic is probably what men see when they see me. I always appreciate your voice of reason. :)

Have a great day anyway.

The only time he ever caught a woman, he had to go to the clinic a few weeks later.
 
I don't think either of them have had a great day in a very, very long time.

You may be right. Maybe I should set my sights on others in the thread. I may get more positive responses. :devil:

Again, have a great day, everyone.

I'd prefer you take me out of the running on this one.

Women who tolerate racist asshats just aren't my thing.

I trust you'll understand.

Listen, you don't have a leg to stand on when you call women you don't even know a slut. So, get over it.

It's an adult website. Get over yourself.

Also, I have no evidence that you're a woman. Nor do I care to be convinced of that fact.

:rolleyes:

you will find

that the most INTOLERANT asshole will tell you who to talk to, what to say and how to say it

OR ELSE

:)
 
Again, have a good day. Life is to short for squabbling on a Lit gloom and doom thread.

Adieu gentlemen,
:rose:
