King, you're really trying to defend our education system? really? Explain why our educational system is not up to your specifications then.
I could sit here and post examples of the sheer ignorance of Americans and their poor education, but I'm still baffled that you think it's not failing.

Is that a serious question? Do you know anything about America, let alone any other place in the world?

I tried to get Michelle Obama's goodies but they are stale already... How do you know they're stale if you haven't gotten them yet?

She is past 30... So why did you try in the first place then?

Cause in order to make progress in politics you have to have an affair with someone.
Got to do something so people will remember even for the wrong reasons.

If you can't afford to pay $6,750 in medical bills, there is something wrong with your priorities in life. You need to grow up and get a grip. This is why you're delusional when it comes to healthcare. Try reading the law for once. Here's a protip: Section 1302(c) is the section that supports my statement
But then again, I highly doubt you can read it, much less comprehend it.

I do fear for your daughter though, if you are truly going to homeschool her.

The law has nothing to do with your assertion that everyone should be able to afford almost seven thousand dollars in unexpected healthcare costs. It's entirely delusional and out of touch with reality, and you wonder why Romney lost.

Actually I don't base it on me, but the ignorant *** around me, or even some of the people on this site, like those who don't know how to properly utilize an apostrophe.

To clarify: the people that I see in public, or have dealt with in the past, not the people I chose to spend my time around.
Or the people I used to work with, like those who couldn't do simple math without a calculator, it's mind boggling.
Also: the fact that you bring up my child to do an ad hominem attack instead of argue your point, shows your true colors, and that you truly need to grow the *** up.

I dont fully know my multiplication tables and anything beyond Algebra I is a challenge. I also have the worst handwriting because someone drilled the wrong way to write into my head and its nigh impossible to reverse.
Ive also spent most of my education in Louisiana...so that might explain a lot of my problems with education of essential mathematical skills, etc.
but as far as a direct response to your post specifically it just annoys me deep down to my sandy nether parts how someone can be employed as a cashier and not know how to make exact change with coinage.

The law has nothing to do with your assertion that everyone should be able to afford almost seven thousand dollars in unexpected healthcare costs. $6,750 is nothing compared to the actual cost it would have been without insurance. Or do you rather want to pay $50k+ for your surgery?
Then again, if you are poor enough, you don't have to pay period. Stiffing the hospitals have been going on for decades, which helped create the high cost of healthcare in the first place.
Yes, having the pay $6,750 for living is tough, but that doesn't mean that you can't do it. Unless you are paying that much each year for the entirety of your life, then what is the issue?
You rather have your healthcare for free and have somebody else pay for it, isn't that right?
Actually I don't base it on me, but the ignorant *** around me, or even some of the people on this site, like those who don't know how to properly utilize an apostrophe. How is that the fault of the education system when the person themselves refuse to learn?
That's like stubbing your toe and blaming Obama for it....oh wait....

Does tying it to a tree limb count? It's an oak tree, could prolly take a sudden surge of 136 pounds right?

@Enuyasha: I was referencing cashiers when I was talking about that, a life that I don't wish to return to, as it was barely tolerable when I did it, much less now. I mean I used one once in a blue moon when I had a massive headache and I didn't feel like thinking, but they were literally unable, and nobody should be allowed out of elementary school without being able to do simple math. (and sorry, but people shouldn't be allowed out of high school without being able to do Algebra or more...)
There's no excuse for this ***, and it's not just on the individual level.
@the 7k healthcare thing: it's not affordable either way for the majority of people, it's ludicrous to assert as such and it only shows your disconnect king.
Healthcare is a societal problem, and it should be free, like basic housing and basic food.
But that's getting a little too on the edge for you, but if you must know, I don't agree with taxing to pay for it all, I prefer to supplement it with pure technology.

Quote: A Court Ruling Just Blew A Huge Hole In Obamacare
Obamacare was just dealt a major loss in court.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled Tuesday that more than half the country shouldn't be receiving tax subsidies under Obamacare -- a ruling that could cripple the health care law if it's ultimately upheld.
The 2-1 decision in Halbig v. Sebelius is the first victory, in any court, for a legal challenge that says the tax subsidies should only be available in states that set up their own insurance exchanges.
The health care law specifically authorizes subsidies in "an exchange established by the State," and the plaintiffs in Halbig said the administration violated the law by also extending subsidies to the in the 36 states using the federal system. They said Congress meant for the tax credits to serve as an incentive for states to establish their own exchanges.
Defenders of the health law said that reading of the health care law is too narrow, and that Congress clearly intended for the financial assistance to be provided equally on all exchanges.
Two federal courts have dismissed similar challenges, making Tuesday's victory especially important for the challengers.
The D.C. Circuit ruling guarantees that the issue will move forward -- something that should seriously scare the administration. An ultimate win would deal a devastating blow to the health care law.
A recent report from Urban Institute researchers estimated that a ruling against the Obama administration could cause an estimated 7.3 million people -- about 62 percent of the 11.8 million people expected to enroll in federally facilitated marketplaces by 2016 -- to lose out on $36.1 billion in insurance subsidies.
Consumers in Texas and Florida could be hardest hit, according to the report, with $5.6 billion and $4.8 billion respectively at risk.
The federal government can now appeal the three-judge panel's ruling to the full D.C. Circuit, where Obamacare allies believe they're more likely to win.
