    We've been talking about Obama, you're right. We've talked about list after long list of Obama accomplishments that you have to ignore or look silly. We've talked about the 6.6 million people that now have insurance thanks to Obama. Bush was only introduced to show you what a red herring you threw out there.

    Better luck next time, hombre.

    explain. You for some reason think 6.6 million people are insured that otherwise wouldn't be. That's 100% false. They could just as easily had their own plans. Unreal stupid.

    Under the new law 6.6 million people who did not have coverage now do. What is so hard to understand doc?

    How do you know they wouldn't of had their own plan? You assume every individual was going to choose to not get health insurance if they couldn't be on mommy's plan. What you want is the number of people 19-25 who would only get health insurance if they could be under their parent's plan. That number is probably below 100 (just a guess).

    per the article, 6.6m have access to insurance they wouldn't otherwise have access to (their parents plan). Maybe some could have got other insurance (though by the uninsured stats it seems likely most would not have done so) but they were able to get more preferable insurance now.

    What's odd with the criticism of this bit of the plan is that is was already law in many states. Without issue. And 26 is the new 18, don't you know.

    Because of the new law they now can be on their parent's plan. It's pretty simple. Even for you

    Stone Cold Stupid. I'll assume you know you are wrong and just are being stubborn.

    Maybe? Oh rly? lol. Like I said why not just raise that age to 50 and really get such a number high. 100 million people are now under their parent's plan who previously weren't.

    Doc you are demonstrating the tea party mentality of being shown facts and refuse to acknowledge them. It's quite embarrassing for you. I suggest you step back and take a deep breath and clear your head.

    bnb just told you that you are wrong. You are demonstrating the classic liberal mentality of being a sheep.

    So..even if every one of the 6.6m could have got their own insurance, and every one would have......(highly unlikely given the uninsured numbers -- but whatever)....can't you at least concede that they're getting better, or more affordable insurance now?

    Otherwise they would have just gone with something else. You have a problem with more affordable healthcare?

    There is no way to evaluate anything with contrasting and comparing it to other things.

    at whose expense? Again why not raise the age to 50.....

    No. He was telling you what I was telling you. They could be insured otherwise. He disagrees with me on how many of those 6.6 million would have their own plan. You don't know how to interrupt the numbers mark so stop trying.

    you just said they could be insured otherwise......

    That's not what mark thinks. He believes they can;t get their own insurance.
