Scott, you are calling a post by a proven liar with a radical agenda truthful and accurate. 2nd time. You are slip slidin' away from sanity, dude. And AGAIN showing your lack of objectivity. There are 2 Independents in the US Gov't. Angus King and Bernie Sanders. Period. I bet that Kool Aid Drinking Party Hack radical supports neither.

What is inaccurate about saying, "You link everyone not democrat as republicans, not true. There are independents, fiscal conservatives, and libertarians just for starters. Granted the Republican Party is the only viable opponent to buck the Demwits and the Republican establishment is still the problem."?
That all seems factual to me. There are plenty of people that are neither republicans or democrats.
The point was not whether or not I or anyone else here is an independent. My point was that there are people that do not identify with either party. Quite a few people here seem to think that is not the case.
Oh, and in case you were truly wondering... I am a fan of Angus King. Wish there were more like him.
White House now boasts that more than 10 million Americans have signed up for Obamacare

- Hit the 7 million target earlier this week but now Medicaid expansions mean that an additional 3 million will be added
- More than a dozen states pushing to have inmates added to the list of those who can qualify for Medicaid, and therefore Obamacare, coverage
- Prisoners already have their healthcare covered while in jail by state and local taxpayer dollars
- Under the proposed plan, that cost would be split with the federal government and coverage extended until after they leave jail
.
The White House claimed to have enrolled 7.1 million Americans, but when factoring in all those previously who were actually uninsured and those who have actually paid into the system, the number is much, much lower. The National Center for Public Policy Research, led by David Hogberg, Ph.D., led the study.
He breaks it down like this.
•2.4 million of those people who signed up were previously uninsured, and
•1.2 million of those previously uninsured people have not paid into the system,
•Leaving the the number more like 1.2 million net new paying enrollees.
The White House says that Cavuto’s number don’t account for the 4.5 million newly enrolled on Medicaid or the 3.1 million young Americans now covered under their parents’ insurance. But those numbers do nothing to help the exchanges.
The NCPPR didn’t even take into account the 6,286,357 people across the country who lost their insurance due to Obamacare.
The White House’s 7.1 million enrollees-shtick was a little too convenient to be believable. There are approximately 45 million people in the country who now do not have insurance

Not going to deny the ACA has some flaws. How many people would you expect to have signed up in a 3 month window? Especially with the stupid glitches. The numbers will improve the next go around, the penalties will get more severe. They should have given another month or two for enrollment because of the glitches. They claim the more who sign up the less premiums will be, I'm not holding my breath, but I do believe, healthy young people should be signing up, but it's naive to think that they would.
Instead of the monstrosity of putting in the ACA... it could have been done easier and hurt less people.
Expand Medicaid and mediacre
make it law people cannot be denied for pre existing conditions
Allow those 26 years and younger to stay on parents insurance.
That's it... simple and clear. Let people choose to buy insurance or not, not force them ans bully them into doing it.
Those three things would have expanded healthcare and affected those who couldn't afford it. Instead what we have now is affecting everybody including businesses.

How do we pay for that expansion? How do we cut costs? I have no clue but when I checked the exchange rate it was higher than what I was paying at work, not much higher for about the same plan. I have a friend who said it wasn't good for him and his family when he checked it out, but I am starting to think these guys are full of shit though. Between he and his wife they make $90 grand per year in a shit city like Superior WI and he couldn't afford it? Really $700 per month for family coverage? Can't afford it? Then who foots the bill? I do think some have their priorities screwed up.
[h=1]NJ Obamacare Cancels Insurance Plans of 1,800 Children[/h]

[h=2]Roughly 1,800 New Jersey children had their insurance plans cancelled last week due to Obamacare.[/h]With the flurry of cancellation notices hitting mailboxes across the Garden State, one parent, Bob Miotla, told the NJ.com news of his son's cancellation made him "extremely angry."
"Without having that safety net, if an illness arises, we will probably take him to the ER," said Miotla, who is on Medicare and disabled.
Obamacare's new mandated requirements killed New Jersey's low-cost children's insurance coverage plan, FamilyCare Advantage. The plan, offered by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, was designed for children whose parents make too much money to qualify for Medicaid and offered medical, dental, and vision coverage for just $144 a month. The program, which was the first of its kind in the nation, was implemented six years ago and considered a model for others states seeking economical ways to provide quality coverage for kids from working class families.
Yet, since FamilyCare Advantage lacked things like mental health services, Obamacare deemed the children's 1,800 plans illegal and the program shuttered last week.
"This is enormously disappointing, said NJ state Sen. Joseph Vitale (D) who co-sponsored the bill that created the program. "It was $5 for doctor visits, $1 for pharmacy and no deductible or cost sharing."
The Obamacare plan offered by the same insurance provider has a $1,500 minimum deductible. Vitale told NJ.com that most families whose children were covered will be ineligible for taxpayer-funded federal Obamacare subsidies because "they earned too much money."
The 1,800 New Jersey children join the five million other Americans who also had their plans canceled by Obamacare. A new study by the RAND Corporation reportedly finds that nearly one million people whose plans were canceled by Obamacare still remain uninsured, a figure Democrats previously claimed was less than 10,000.
Obamacare remains highly unpopular. The latest Associated Press poll finds that an all-time low 26% of Americans support Obamacare.
