1- Since only 8 million people have ObamaCare, how will 24 million people die if it is repealed?

Because the ACA, otherwise known as "ObamaCare", is NOT a traditional insurance "plan"... that's kind of the point behind its existence. It's not some premium-gouging HMO like the type this country's been run on since the 60's. You seem to think it's like another Blue Cross, except while you still pay everything plus your left nut for a month of nothing, Obamacare moochers get it for free cuz they vote for black people or something.

The details behind OC have been widely available for a number of years now; reading it may have granted those of you with "anti-liberal" complaints a competent understanding of this.

read real carefully, now!

ACA stands for the "Affordable Care ACT" - as in, a legislative plan instituted mainly to cut power from privatized insurance companies, pharmaceutical corporations, and any medical professionals who would follow dollar signs in their own interests instead of yours. ACA's original intention was to deny privatized policymakers in health care from continuing with such (very common) practices like denying procedures, medications, or life-saving and preventative treatments from policy holders whenever the hell they felt like it - a process which has already led to many deaths and serious impact on quality of life (kind of like a 'death panel'. You know that term, don't you?). It provided that no individual or their dependents ever be refused the care they need, and ensured "assassins" in HC insurance companies never be able to invent reasons to do so, for the sake of pure profit via the simple (business) mantra, "the less care we give, the more money we make".

ACA, therefore, encompasses new patient rights and protections under ALL manner of public, subsidized, and tax-paid plans. That means it ALREADY includes Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP coverage - considering you live with your parents and are under 26 years of age, ACA is the reason it covers YOU as well.

Your 8 million number is, frankly, bullshit. Over 11 million are enrolled under the Medicaid expansion plan as of now. 2.6 million remain enrolled under their parents' existing health plans, and 10.3 million have re-enrolled in OC just this year alone. All in all I'd say "24 million" is a below-average estimate.

2- If Donald Trump deleted all of his emails, wiped his server with Bleachbit and destroyed all of his phones with a hammer, would the Mainstream Media suddenly lose all interest in the story and declare him innocent?

Did you and good ol' Fox do it for Hillary?

The "mainstream media" are parties unto themselves. The rest of us are separate entities. This is a concept many of you seem to have problems with. It's pretty insulting, comparing others like you do your own fantasy bromance with Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh. Since you're so gung-ho on obtaining an answer, why not log off ebw and try calling up MSNBC instead? See if your brilliant paradoxical query can throw them for a loop. Or, try practicing with your local liberal radio show. This way no one will be able to broadcast the outcome to the nation and you'll be safe.

3- If women do the same job for less money, why do companies hire men to do the same job for more money?

Apparently jobs hire men and women at different rates because of salary negotiations.

Hourly-rate jobs under minimum wage standards don't factor in here. Otherwise, their bosses would be in prison.

But at high-earning position interviews for privatized, large-fortune companies, you actually have a right to wheel and deal when it comes to pay rate. One interesting study I read claimed men are more aggressive, obsessed to impress, and therefore not shy when it comes to letting their greed shine through; ergo, no problem in stating flat-out they want to get as high a rate as they can negotiate for.

Women, however, are shown to maintain a more fair and amicable attitude throughout the hiring/employment process. That's not to say there aren't plenty of women who get paid a lot more than men. It isn't to say there aren't plenty of men with low-paying, non-salaried jobs. It isn't to say that potential hires of either sex may very well not know it's ok to bargain for higher pay, either. What this issue does say, however, is that companies have no problem saving some cash by taking advantage of the discrepancy, any way it goes. Money = bottom line. I'll bet gender has a lot less to do with that. But you guys seem to enjoy bringing that part up. Wonder why?

4 & 5 : I stopped here, actually. These were too fucking stupid to even try to dignify with an answer. At this point in time, I'm actually regretting posting what I already have. Logic, common sense, decency... this shit just seems to escape you in a never-ending loop. So I'ma just post before I change my mind and get some Starbuck's now.
