    Eh, I'm not too worried if this country goes down in flames. At least The Walking Dead taught us how to survive an apocalypse.

    That's assuming America was ever there to begin with, lol.

    But that's a whole 'nuther can of worms.

    Let us just say that the election is rigged, and war's a-comin'.

    I'll be honest. I went to sleep last night because I couldn't bear to see how it went.

    .I woke up hearing about rioting and protest in the streets following the election... I still couldn't tell who won.

    Heh, speak for yourself. I lost my healthcare ~4 years ago and the current healthcare I'm offered is not worth the money. I'd be better off waiting until something gets wrong with me and then just declare bankruptcy to get out of it.

    If I didn't have insurance when my appendix burst, I'd owe 56,000$ as opposed to 2,000$ (USD). Would not recommend.

    Yeah, but that $56000..... a huge chunk of that was paid in monthly premiums.

    I mean, c'mon, the average BRONZE premium is at least $500 a month now or will be during this new year. That means you are paying what, again, $6,000 per year?

    That's assuming it doesn't jump -AGAIN-. What happens if it goes up to $750 next year? Then it's 9,000 per year and only 6 years to reach that point where you already paid $56,000.

    Insurance works on the assumption that something might go wrong.

    Like I said, it's not worth it. Before Obamacare, my premiums were $170 a month and I had 10% OOP and 15/20/30 copays.

    Now it's almost $500 per month for $5000 OOP and $50 copay.

    Not. Worth. It.

    I say we give him a chance. At least he didn't commit treason and thought he could get away with it.

    Ain't that hard to add a single sentence to a pic post. Like "I feel this is relevant:" or something.

    I'm gonna just stand back and go about my daily life and not worry about what they do in DC.

    There are some unsettling things about this whole thing found in the Bible, and to be honest, I really don't want to be caught up in that whole mess. So no thanks, I'm not gonna be anywhere near that. I'm gonna just keep to my own business, and let those people in DC do theirs.

    Well, to be fair, that's also assuming that you won't get sick again within that 6 year period. But then again, $500 a month is absolutely ridiculous. I only pay like 100 for mine, but then again, I'm single and don't have a family to support.

    Yeah, it really isn't. I mean, this isn't reddit after all :3 #forumsrock

    For those of you who do not live in America, or are not familiar with the electoral college...

    [​IMG]

    America is not a democracy, it is a representative republic. We have equal representation, not equal vote by numbers. It is not majority rule. It is equal rule, regardless if you live in a blue district or not.
