#1 Can't get onto the Affordable Care website? No surprise here, IT's FOK'n BLOCKED !

No need to see your $450-$1100 per month plan with your $5000. annual deductible until AFTER the fraud is fully funded.

Welcome to the new, pay-forever-get nothing medical TAX !

#2 Yep, Beso. Can't let the Plebs catch on to the fact that they now tax sickness. Get sick and the tax goes up another $5 grand.

#4 So maybe it is true the troops continue to get paid, but if they cannot use the commissaries and exchanges and have to go out in town,, that is going to put a bite into their pay; maybe not as bad as total non pay, but when the spousal unit gets wound up about budget issues, watch the moral-o-meter drop. ( for the record, here at NASWI, the NEX gas price is at least the same as in town, maybe a bit more, but off the island I can find it for 25-30 cents less, so I do not use the NEX.)

#5 Honestly, although there are two pretty lavish commissaries with reach of me - I have hardly used any of them since I retired. First - there is the convenience factor; there are two or three HEB outlets within a 5-10 minute drive from my house. The commissaries are about a 20 minute drive, or more. There is a Sam's Club also about 5 minutes away. Between Sam's and the HEB - the prices are about the same. So, not to heartbroken about the commissaries. Sorry - just not that on.
