"Joshua Peck, who ran open enrollment outreach for HHS last year..."

Isn't that the guy from Drake & Josh? No wonder he lost so much weight.

This sounds about as legitimate as the crap truck my brother gave me the last time I needed a car. You can trust me; I’m taking good care of it, he said. I thought the car was supposed to shake like it’s in an earthquake in 4 wheel drive, he says. Sorry the electric system died(when he borrowed it, no less), but I swear I’ll give you back some of the money you’ve been spending...

Yeah; I know when I’m being sold a lemon through experience, and Trump’s slashing the tires on Obamacare to try and make it look like a lemon.

I have to buy on the exchange next month because BCBS is dropping out. I just hope someone will be left.

Only if we take this country back.

I still want bad things to happen to him - I want him stripped of office and left penniless. i want him to hear the smirk on the lips of every person who says his name, every person who looks down on him.

I agree. I was thinking REALLY bad things, like...no, no, I can't.

If you live in a 'Blue State' that supported the ACA, you will probaby be fine, it is the 'Red States' that refused Medicaid expansion that tend to lose insurers.

Have a great day!

Trumpanzees are racist, bigoted morons, period. I left the VFW because I couldnt tolerate the ignorance and racism and I live in Vermont. Sprung for a life membership last October too, how is that for bad timing?

Have a great day!

I spoke with someone at United Healthcare today, who thoughtfully provided me the correct number to contact at the State level. I spoke with someone there, too. I'm covered, and was advised to call on November 16th since all I wish to do is continue with the coverage I have. I hate this maladministration.

You're giving him too much credit - he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, someone's putting a paper in front of him with a hastily-crayoned drawing of Obama crying next to the spot they want him to sign...Then everyone claps while they tell him how much his base is gonna LURVE him for the great, bigliest good job he did today and then give him his Diet Coke and the TV remote so he can yell at CNN until it's time for his nap.He is like the Godzilla of garbage-people - he wants to destroy everything that annoys him but he doesn't really care whether he eats, mauls or stomps on it, as long as the ruins smoke impressively.

Pray for justice. And pray for good people to do good.

I'm in the midst of open enrollment at work and my premiums are going up just a little bit. I can live with it and I know I'm lucky. Our benefits people always send scores of emails to remind us to re-enroll and the one time I forgot to get in by the deadline, they called me and enrolled me by phone. Our present government wouldn't be caught dead doing anything this humane. I'd gladly give up my Soros bucks to help out HHS.

Maybe it's me, but it's almost like that giant orange fuck at 1600 Penn actually enjoys knowing that people are going to get sick and die because of him.
