    Most health insurance is through your employer.  I don't understand him either Dylan.

    True signs of an argument conceded. Change the subject. 

    Yes, It's a little satisfying.

    I did that on purpose . Just for you. Oh, and Stike too.
    Key phrase: "by others". That also wasn't part of the original conceit of your argument.  Keep moving those goalposts to make yourself feel better.

    The letter I received literally said "We were able to reduce individual costs of our group plan from an increase in enrollment allowing us to negotiate a better rate on the current one..."
    Whatever.
    You are full of crap.

    Go feed the unicorn.
      
    Get back to me with the actual cost of the plan prior to ACA and post ACA. I would literally have to see it to believe it. The fact that you don't know what the insurance actually cost is telling. It is quite juvenile to even think of the minimal amount of co pay you contribute as any kind of useful information in the larger argument. You are participating in a heavily subsidized plan. Your experience as shared on this post is in fact worthless information. My daughters insurance didn't change either. Because I still pay for all of it. DUH!
    Your apparent education as shown on this thread seems worthless as well. Now, because you continue to lack basic comprehension, you are asking me to prove something that I cannot, being that the information is not accessible to me without violating fellow employee's rights within the organization. I know how much my insurance cost. Year to year, the total amount of the premium of the plan I'm on went down. I'll see if I can find an old benefit pamphlet that shows it, but it went from nearly 8k to just under 4K for the option I'm on.

    I wasn't trolling you, but, sure it did.

    They aren't "overwhelming", just very competent. Outstanding is the highest score. You never did report yours, by the way.

    I never win them.  I'm DUM!!  pgprescott wipes the floor with me every time.  I can't argue against him.  I think he's somehow brilliantly combined Stephen E. Toulmin's contributions with Walton's logical argumentation method.

    The only arguments you dolphins ever seem to win are the name calling ones. Impressive chops.

    Wrong about almost everything of consequence, but really well read. 

    That tombstone bit is for any of you all.

    Trolling/counter-trolling is fun. I'm glad we can agree on the best use of the internet outside of what that wet-blanket dude was complaining regarding Rosy Palmer uses for the internet.

    obama care, romney care, plain health insance is all a three card monti scheme, almost seems to be run by vegas. this year the push seems to be lowering premiums in mass but raising deductables, the do you feel lucky syndrome. i did not count them but bluecross alone must have 17 or more plans.  and how did anyone believe that a plan in massachusetts where theres a facility every couple miles down the road was going to work in every state out their, especially the rural low income ones

    When you eliminate market choices by over providing insurance, it becomes quite expensive. I don't expect them to loose money either. Reform of the legal system would also greatly reduce the upward pressure on the market. The insurers and providers are absolutely in bed together. They don't care what it costs as long as someone pays. Just like higher education.

    Heard today that Trump is already starting on his re-election.  Campaign slogan is to be "Keep America Great".

    Same as the the tagline from the movie 'The Purge: Election Year.'

    Fitting.

    Also, Trump's golf swing sucks schwänz, just to stay on-topic.

    Swing is not pretty, but pretty decent for an old guy trying to stretch some yards out of it. I bet he'd be a handful. Remember, he ain't in his twenties
