    Who's defending Russia? I want to know what lessons you think we should learn? What should we do differently because of Russia?

    Now this is just hilarious.

    You do understand that Obamacare created the exchanges which is a free market concept, right?

    You are literally so Ill informed, It is comical.

    I said already I have no information about it, I just go off of what happened to me and members of my family, nothing else. I do understand enough that "Obamacare created the exchanges which is a free market concept" is laughable because they took away a lot of the existing plans. It's like saying...you can drive any car as long as it's a 98 silver corolla.

    In Russia sad is happy

    Actually it's more like Congress said the insurance industry can't sell you a 98 Toyota Corolla and call it adequate transportation, but really we know the insurance lobby saw the benefits of acquiring millions of new customers, so they said, OK you know what, you're right.

    It got by the few Republicans that voted on it, because when they dreamed it up, the idea was it got medical scofflaws off the government's dole.

    That's what I thought. You realize that you're complaining that your grandparent's Medicare benefits aren't "socialist" enough.

    Sort of a confused picture, but..

    Sounds like grandma and grandpa are getting pains and senile, sitting around watching Fox and complaining. to their grandson.

    Gandpa and Grandma came over in 1950 thirty years after the Bolshevik Revolution and hate Obama for it somehow. They also would like the government to keep its hands off their Medicare.

    Glynch, serious question, why do you struggle with quoting so much? Do you need a tutorial?

    There's no way it's the exact same plan. The max payout limit is probably drastically different, and there's probably a lot of other differences.

    The insurance companies likely just shrunk your network of providers to compensate.
