The prime contractor for Healthcare.Com was a Canadian company.

There is more to the opt out than simply rejecting "free money" from
the government. It brings on an unfunded mandate in 3 years when the
federal money stops.
It is similar to those high speed rail deals where the feds get the
project started and then walk away leaving the state on the hook to
not only finish the project but run a money losing train for decades.


The Republican governors turned it down because they are Republicans.


Perhaps that simply means they care about run away deficit spending.


And perhaps I'll be on the cover of GQ.

Not even 36 Republican governors.

Cite?


Cite my ass. Get off your lazy ass, you are not doing any work anyway. It
is already admitted they spent over $300 million on the software that does
not work. You think they will require it be made good for no more
payments? It's the government. And how much do you think this ACA is
going to add to the debt?


As expected, nothing but bull**** from you.

Do you have a TV? It has been covered extensively for a couple weeks


I'm sorry, I've seen NOTHING that says the website will be a trillion
dollar spending function. Could you point that out to me, please?

I was referring to the $350M for the site.

The $1T is conjecture at this point but it is clear that this will be
a lot more expensive that it was sold as being.
Unlike Medicare, that actually financed itself for over 35 years
before going into the red , this program will hit the ground losing
money.


"The ACA will be budget neutral."

"If you like your current insurance plan, you can keep it. Period."

How many more lies will unfold?

MediCare was only going to cost $500 million when it was proposed. Look
how that has worked out.

Problem is it is a $700 million website that should have cost no more than $70 million
dollars to develop.

Do you remember Bill Clinton's effort to get more cops on the street? He paid for them for
the first year and then the local jurisdiction needed to pick up the tab for the continued
employment of the cops. Most were terminated when the federal money ran out.
