Back up your first claim and we can continue on with the other two.

Are you denying that you said that?

I'm denying that I use charts in ways that misinterpret the data in a fashion you can refute, yes.

New amendment to GOP health bill effectively allows full elimination of community rating, exposing sick to higher premiums

Brookings is "effectively" 100% FOS.

First off, what the bill effectively allows for states is not what the bill proposes. The ACHA maintains PEC protections, as you know.

Secondly, states can obtain limited waivers. But to obtain those, a host of conditions must be met. The waivers could include rate leveling for PEC vs non-PEC policies, but they have to demonstrate coincident reduction in premium costs, increasing the number of people insured, or results otherwise benefiting the state’s public interest.

i.e., if current ACA policies hypothetically cost $10000/yr, and a state changes law and competition so that the price of an identical non-PEC policy drops to $6000/yr and deductions are cut in half, but PEC policies remain unchanged at $10K, that would be in the public good.

Sadly, you'd claim to hate the unleveling even though it wouldn't cost the PEC individual one extra cent.

No, we're still on the first two points.

Not until we settle the earlier-raised point of your false statements. Link or admit they were purposefully incorrect.

Allowing the state to seek a waiver for community rating and EHBs in no way maintains PEC protections.

---

Of course it does.
I laid that out for you.

quote:

---

The more likely scenario is non-PEC policies drop to $3000/yr while those with PEC clauses rise to $20,000/yr.

---

False.
The ACHA precludes that.

Wrong again.

1. Sure, go ahead and link all the children dying in the streets because their parents were denied health insurance.

2. Nothing like watching her stumble through explaining how vehicle purchasing, operation, and registration works.

Charts weren't even mentioned until page 8.

Now, in order, shall we?

Already done, you're welcome.

Obamacare has imploded. I know that United Healthcare pulled out of Texas this year, and we've seen companies all over the country doing likewise.

Obamacare was horrible. Only a complete dolt or an Obama fanboy would still try to put lipstick on that pig.

Jimmy Kimmel is simply engaging in what left-wing Hollywood fools love to do more than anything, which is virtue-signaling. And in this case, he's fellating the one and only black president of the United States of America.

You can't virtue-signal any better than That, ladies and gentlemen.

Does it ever make you feel bad that you have essentially wasted hours, maybe even days, talking and debating with a brick wall (displacedbuckeye)?

I feel like this should cut both ways lol.

What joy in life does a person get constantly trying to defend themselves indefinitely every time they are caught in a lie or being factually or contextually incorrect about some aspect of a discussion?

That is a crippling level of cognitive dissonance and ego preservation.
