    Looks like Mrs. Plugger has a part-time receptionist job.

    TEA Party – why are you so afraid of the ACA? Afraid it will work and you all will look like the idiots you are? You must have tons of money because healthcare now is too expensive and insurance is also too expensive. I had a freak accident in my back yard in June, broke my leg, open fracture, plate and screws. Total cost $43,161. No insurance can bankrupt you, fortunately I had insurance.

    Yes, because the GOP managed to insert a clause in the legislation creating the “no coverage for part time workers” loophole. We are aware of what the actions the teabag party took to sabotage a plan that’s supported by the majority of Americans, and will vote accordingly next year.

    Hospitals are closing, doctors offices are reducing hours, employers are reducing hours, dropping coverage and making people pay more for coverage long before the Obamacare was even proposed. Worse yet, there are many people who are denied care because because they are under insured or not insured at all. I think the only thing that has to be defund and repeal is the damn tea party

    Well, if The Daily Kos says it you can be sure it’s a huge pile of “el toro poo-poo”…….

    “Don’t laugh! – That is one of the many changes that are coming soon to a neighborhood physician’s office near you…”

    Nothing will change in my neighbourhood. That’s been the policy in many, if not most practises for as long as ten years. No doubt laggards will come into line, but they are the minority.

    “It is the TEA Party that will save health care from the destruction YOUR side has created.”

    Oddly, I don’t recall any health care proposals, useful or otherwise, from the right side of the aisle. The GOP appears to believe that the best way is to abandon all pretense of any kind of health care apart from straightforward out-of-pocket care. Since the nay sayers are all covered by taxpayer funds, and could afford medical care without that, it seems like there is a hole in your logic somewhere.

    What, exactly, was the health care proposal of the GOP’s that was shot down by the Libs?
