[OFFICIAL] State of the Union Address Thread

[Jughead]

He just mentioned that no American can ever be denied insurance coverage due to pre-existing conditions. He didn't however acknowledge those who've had their insurance plans cancelled.

All Obama has to do is pledge 100 billion for fusion research. That 73 trillion we're talking about now to combat global warming will be cut to maybe 2-3 trillion over a few decades as we build the infrastructure.

We won't ever have to worry about energy again.

As in Nuclear fusion? Fukushima is polluting the Pacific as we speak, it's the last thing we need.

Do you know what fusion is? You're thinking about fissile.

It produces radiation and probably a shit load of stuff we don't yet know about. Is it better than fission, maybe, maybe not, but look at Fukushima and Chernobyl. Shit goes wrong. Time to concentrate on solar and leave anything in the nuclear family behind.

The GOP claim that more Americans have lost insurance than gained it under Obamacare

Notice he didn't mention how many lost their health insurance.

Moreover, it is worth remembering the enrollment period is only at the halfway point, so the data are incomplete. If Republicans are trying to claim that more people lost private insurance than gained it under Obamacare, the jury is still out and the verdict won’t be in until April 1.

Separating the day's myths and realities on Obamacare
October 29, 2013|By Michael Hiltzik

1. Obama "knew" that people would lose their health insurance. This story, chiefly promoted by NBC News, reflects the Washington media's eternal search for scandal, abetted by every politician's instinct to reduce even the most complicated ideas to a sound byte.

It was always clear that many insurance policies serving the individual market wouldn't conform to the coverage requirements set by the Affordable Care Act and would have to be changed. Some were "grandfathered" in, but the rules dictated that any that were changed by the insuring companies -- including changes in premiums or other terms -- would lose that status.

As a result, millions of policyholders are now being informed that their nonconforming policies are being canceled as of Dec. 31. The idea, of course, is for them to get new policies under Obamacare as of Jan. 1. NBC is breathing heavily over its investigative "discovery" that "because of normal turnover in the individual insurance market, 40 to 67% of customers will not be able to keep their policy" mostly because they changed plans.

But is this news? No: The exact same figure was put out by the Obama Adminsitration -- in 2010. Here's a release from the Department of Health and Human Services from June that year, explaining that "40% to two-thirds of people" in the individual market normally change plans in a year, and thus would no longer be in grandfathered plans. Did Obama "know"? Yes, but so did anyone else who was paying attention, including reporters covering healthcare. LATIMES

They're mostly going into fields that pay less. Of course Obama blames men for stupid choices.

women are still only earning approximately 77 cents on the dollar compared to men

Not for doing the same job.....

The government doesn't do a very good jobs telling businesses how they should manage the employees at the micro level.

He is in denial, he needs a 12 step program

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

Did any of you catch what he said? Right after Obama referred to Speaker Boehner saying "How the son of a barkeep is the Speaker of the House?" he then stated, referring to himself,............'Or how a son with a single mother became president of the United States".

He stated he had a single mother! I thought she was first married to his father with the name Barack Sr and then to his step father Lolo Soetoro. If true then why did he just state he had a single mom?

 

[laughinReaper]

It should be living people and legal aliens that vote to keep America going.

"If misfortune strikes, you don't have to lose everything."

What he fails to mention is that for many people you have to lose everything in order to get the coverage in the first place.

fact check in aisle 3!
