    Stupid post.  

    Not a big issue, sorry to disappoint you.  Last poll I saw showed 44% of Republicans supported it and it’s been a growing number. 

    Your post is stupid, it is a big issue and you are bragging that 44% of Republicans now support it. That is nothing to brag about.

    I too grew up in rural Texas and never once heard that line. East Texas?

    I grew up in rural east Texas and I've heard that line plenty of times. The town I grew up in had no blacks and there is a reason why.  Racism.

    ideally for the Blues is to have the Red counties have low turnout but seems turnout is big everywhere which isn't a good sign for Beto. 

    Agree, but I have hope that more people are voting for Beto in Red counties than voted for Clinton. She didn't go to all 254 counties.

    I imagine he is referring to things like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, CVD, smoking etc that drive the vast majority of our healthcare expenditures. 

     

    Lots of poor rural white folks who vote red have these conditions. I know, I know, people on both sides of the political spectrum have these conditions but being a Democrat that is the first group I thought of.

  5. I am under that impression. I know one person who is disabled who got insurance through the ACA and another who has money and not working and she gets her insurance through the ACA. She is close to getting Medicare as she is in her 60's. 

    The article I read stated At the time of the interview (May 22, 2018), 9.9 million people, or 3.7 percent, obtained health coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces or state-based exchanges. 3.7

    3.7% is a small part of the country. What am I missing?

    What was it back in 2010?

    What is the point? Healthcare costs have been very high for decades, both before and after 2010.

     I assume most on here have never been on the ACA since  we have college degrees and thus our healthcare is through our employers.

    From Bruce Elfant's First Day Voting the number of in person voters is 32,302 and the number of mail in is 12,668 and his total is 47,405 but should be 44,970 unless one of the numbers for in person or mail in votes is incorrect.

    What's scary is Karleen Bryan's Facebook profile shows a picture of her in an office with a plaque from the Texas Workforce Commission that says she has successfully completed a  class in "Critical thinking and problem solving." 

    I would like to see the exams given in that class. And who gets a plaque for completing such a class? Waste of taxpayer money in many ways.

    Cool, you’ll appreciate a lot of people in the psych ward.  Hit me up if you want a tour.  

    Right. He'd like some of the answers I get on my college math exams too. Independent thought and all. 

    In this day and time these stupid responses are called alternative facts, I call them wrong.

    Gerrymandering has nothing to do with a state-wide election.  There may be other "built in" factors but gerrymandering ain't one.

    Some believe Republican gerrymandering discourages potential Democratic voters from going to the polls.

    Look it up. Stop watchin maher, who is funny as hell by the way.

    Did you also believe you could keep your doctor and plan, and the cost you pay would go down.
    Did that ring true for you?

    You have proof that President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower? Cite it.

    As for as me keeping my doctor and my plan, I have never been on the ACA so no I didn't lose my doctor; however it is estimated that only 2% of people had to change doctors and it was because some doctors wouldn't accept people using the ACA. Some doctors didn't meet the basic standards, which were good standards, so patients had to find new doctors, which again, was good for those patients.

    Your reasoning in your post makes no sense.
