How to Protect Yourself From Obamacare

[Hoss]

...was initially OK with the ACA grants (even if the 'exchange' was ok'd by former Gov Henry), but caved into political pressure from the fundie Teaheads.

Wonder how that makes Cabbage feel about his beloved governor...

After reading that story and the accompanying stories on meth raids, airport shutdowns due to sequestration and the "brokn generation" remarks, this thread might better be described as How to Survive Idiocracy.

Apparently the central core of idiocracy is not in the rural areas as I suspected, but right here in little ol green country.

Amended to add our new status as #3 in the nation in states with the highest % of hourly paid employess making minimum wage or less! Lookout Texas! We're gunnin' for ya'!!

I've seen some stories about closing control towers at low traffic airports but I haven't seen any airports actually closing due to sequestration.

I'm sure OU and OSU would like to keep their control towers as a convenience for training.  Part time towers during sporting events would probably suffice.

[Hoss]

From what I understand they're even closing the tower at the Oshkosh Airport.

I did hear however that they've delayed the closings until June.  They were supposed to close Friday.

Anyone familiar with aviation will know that for a week or so they are VERY busy.  Otherwise, they average 249 operations per day.  Still busy but about 1/2 as much as Riverside (Richard Lloyd Jones) Airport by Jenks.  Of course everyone knows that airplanes cannot possibly fly without radios and control towers.  The physics of aerodynamics will not allow it.

Anti-Obamacare forces drove Gov. Mary Fallin's health care decisions, emails show

Documents released by Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin's office display critical misunderstanding of costs related to Medicaid expansion, while direct input from the governor herself and from direct stakeholders is notably absent.

As Gov. Mary Fallin approached crucial decisions about health care reform in Oklahoma in the past two years, members of her staff routinely relied on advice from conservative political groups bent on destroying Obamacare.

More than 50,000 pages of emails released by the governor's office are notable for a lack of debate over the merits of various policy options.

Absolutely!! Just like how not having a flight plan on file results in crashes.

If all we wanted was a hottie to protect us from Sharia Law, we could have done much better.

"Im staying to the bitter end to make comment and ask how gov plans to do all this with NO Doctors?"  How indeed.

Maybe the government get these guys to cover the medical needs of the country's people needing medical help. They want it, they can administer it.

WHAT!!!

Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, sources in both parties said.

The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the Obama administration and other top lawmakers — are extraordinarily sensitive, with both sides acutely aware of the potential for political fallout from giving carve-outs from the hugely controversial law to 535 lawmakers and thousands of their aides. Discussions have stretched out for months, sources said.

And the news keeps getting better.

In the latest preview of prices for health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, Maryland's dominant insurer says proposed premiums for new policies for individuals will rise by 25 percent on average next year.
