Funny how this so called "libertarian” conveniently leaves out the biggest dictators in modern times-Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, both Bushes, and Dick Cheney. Because behind the facade of a so called libertarian is just another corporate shill/die hard/"Southern Strategy" Republican. BTW, I have almost 30 years of Benefits/HR experience and your knowledge of health plans and insurance in general, (just like Alito) never mind the ACA, is laughable.<br /><br />Joe Kennedy being a scum bag? Wow, stop the presses. Hey clueless, you forgot LBJ in your dictator list. As per his tailor advise:<br /><br />“The crotch down where your nuts hang is always a little too tight, so when you make ‘em up, give me an inch so I can take ‘em out there because they cut me, it’s like riding a wire fence.” <br /><br />"But, uh when I gain a little weight they cut me under there. So, leave me , you never do have much of margin there. See if you can't leave me an inch from where the zipper (burps) ends, round, under my, back to my bunghole, so I can let it out there if I need to." <br /><br />Re this: “According to his friends, he was denied coverage from insurance because it was considered to be a pre-existing condition.”<br /><br />Even prior to the ACA, health care plans based in NYS, as per NYS law, could not deny coverage due to preexisting conditions.<br />Edmund Dunnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-3182549957250977522016-03-24T12:57:20.017-04:002016-03-24T12:57:20.017-04:00The State is an institution that arrogates a monop...The State is an institution that arrogates a monopoly of force over an arbitrarily circumscribed geographical area, and which obtains the resources it uses by theft. Communism and socialism are just dumbocracy taken to its logical conclusion. <br />The criminals who brought the ACA did it by theft and lying. Bama is a dictator in the making, as were his predecessors. (Lincoln, Prof. Wilson, and FDR were actual dictators.) <br />Uncle Joe Stalin would have loved the ACA.<br /><br />Pols are criminals and commies.<br />After Joe Kennedy got rich under prohibition, did any of the Kennedys ever make a dime that wasn't stolen from a taxpayer? Didn't think so.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-59578614442350889352016-03-24T12:04:02.491-04:002016-03-24T12:04:02.491-04:00Bill,
