A lot of the "usual people" have gotten tired of this forum and don't feel the need to participate as passionately as they used to.

Also, some of us live on the West Coast and are asleep in the pre-dawn hours.

As a rule I refute any type of speculation.

There isn't much to say about topics like this. 0bama is running a race to be the least popular president in history. Anything bearing his name is like a hot potato in the political world.

That was 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back. 8 pages of "I know you are, but what am I?"

I've noticed it gets slow at lunch time also.

We need to re-invigorate this forum. Someone start a thread to brainstorm some ideas while I'm at lunch.

Apples are more red than oranges. Who knew?

rolleyes.gif Not surprised but - You are ignoring the point = Health insurance premiums will likely skyrocket next year, despite the Obama administration’s consistent assurance that consumers will not experience sticker shock under the president’s health care law.

I am not refuting the article, so much as I am refuting the sophistry between the association.

Can you refute any of the statements I made? (I didn't think so...)

You refute the people determining & setting premiums ...wacko.png

I'm not ignoring anything but I am also not engaging in any kind of wild speculation.

Has no bearing on 2015. Nice try but - Fail. Next....

Premiums will rise as they have for decades. That's #reality.

"Wild" is a stretch.

A 300% rise in 1 year ....ever? = Never.

You keep talking about a 300% rise. Where did that happen? And please keep it apples to apples.

it hasn't happened yet....but, the people that know the industry are predicting it. i'm sure you've read these or some very similar articles recently.

Literally not a single one of those articles says where they got the 300% from and the worst that anyone can say there is that 'some insiders' say that rates 'may' go up.

This doesn't sound like doomsday, this sounds like someone trying to get a story where there isn't one, to me.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.
