Wait . . . maybe I'm wrong . . . . Let me check . . . . Nope, not wrong . . . . you cited the ACHA

So, how would the ACHA change current rescission policy?

Perhaps true.

Your interpretation of them is the primary issue.

Implicit in the thread, as that's the alternative that Kimmel was saying was unacceptable in his monologue.

The problem is you think there's some land of gumdrops and fairies where Republicans repeal the ACA but keep all of the good things you like about the ACA. Since there isn't, let's deal in reality.

Clearly because the bill as it currently stands would remove protections for those with pre-existing conditions, and would take us back to a pre-ACA landscape (or worse).

You seriously didn't know that? Wow, it's like you haven't been paying attention to the discussion around AHCA at all...

Which, specifically? Please link to a study I've linked that you disagreed with my interpretation.

It would be helpful if you also provided citations for your 'correct' interpretation.

I don't care about the implicitness of the thread. Ignore it.

This is between the two of us. I've called you out on this every chance I've had, and you never come up with anything. Now is the time.

No, the land of gumdrops and fairies would include a free market healthcare system. I'm intelligent enough to know people are too lazy and ignorant for that to ever be reality. That doesn't mean we can't work that way, though.

So, the real problem is, you have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm referring to your cherry-picked charts. Of course, often times you can't even be bothered to correctly interpret the data in those.

Hey socialist friend, can you help me find some numbers?

I'm looking for the total cost of the ACA to the tax payer including deductibles, OOP and premiums paid, taxes collected, etc.

The whole shebang.

Readily available, I can only find the cost to the federal government in 2016 which was around $110B.

I would get why no one that supports the ACA would want to combine all the costs into TOTAL cost and maybe that's why it's not readily available.

Such as? And why wouldn't I pick strong data to support my position? Nothing is stopping you from providing your own data to refute it.

Unfortunately, you're not capable of that - the best you can do is attempt to divert the discussion from areas which you cannot refute.

Well, the chart you linked a few times without realizing that it showed how much support ACA repeal held was a classic.

I don't know. You tell me.

Do they not require English at Alabama anymore?

The data are the same. Your presentation of them is the issue.

Incorrect, I'm doing my best to keep you focused. Have that link for me yet?

The ACHA retains protections for PECs, and eventually with interstate competition, would provide those with PECs lower cost policies.

Doubtful there's anyone collecting these data. Especially considering you'd want to look at it in the context of cost difference between ACA and if there were no ACA.

That is, you can't just count the total amount spent on deductibles without estimating how much that differs from a situation in which we have no ACA.

For some more laughs, why don't you go over the process of purchasing, operating, and registering a vehicle for us again.

You can actually do just that unless you don't really want to see how much the beast eats year over year.

Well considering that deductibles went up more than anything it would be a bad number for the ACA.
