Our long national nightmare is nearly over.
Following the House's earlier lead, the Senate has passed a bill that
repeals the onerous 1099 reporting requirements outlined in the 2010 health
care reform package. The bill now heads to the White House, where Preisdent
Obama is expected to sign it. In his State of the Union speech in January,
Obama indicated that he would support efforts to repeal the 1099 rules.
Those rules would have forced businesses to report to the IRS every pu... 阅读全帖 |

All you need for the angry left to reveal their hatred is for an uppity
black man to be promoted to the United States Senate. Naturally this is a
website owned and operated by top Democrats.
They start off by falsely claiming Tim Scott wanted to impeach Obama and
then the inmates chime in with the comments.
Obviously nobody monitors the ugliness.
So Scott is a TeaBagger idiot, a Tealiban and a suicider. |

成固定数字。而ACA的补贴是根据市场的，按照市场里保险(silver plan)的平均价格来
决定补贴多少。保险贵了，补贴必然就多了。Senator不敢定额，因为他们认为自己的
法案一定会降保费，最后补贴（国家的负担）自然会降下来，比固定额度好。Congress
认为这是不可能的，所以定了个固定值。不过明白人都知道，降是不可能的，所以国家
