Not having an insurance policy results in death? That says a lot about Murica.
Insurance companies love your rhetoric. You will die if you are not forced to buy their product. That's the best advertisement an industry could ever hope for.
No Cicero, actually you are wrong. The first proposal for ObamaCare contained a 'Public Option', where the GOVT would run a insurance plan similar to Medicare for those who wanted it and those who qualified. This 'option' you may remember was greeted by your Conservative friends as nothing but SOCIALISM!!! So the Right Wingers prevailed, and ObamaCare dropped the plan that you seem to follow. Had the Dems plan been followed, today you would have a choice of Private Insurance or Public insurance. Thank your Good Ole Boy Conservatives who forced you to buy corporate insurance.

Bigamy: the act of going through a marriage ceremony while already married to another person.
Cissy wants more than one wife!!!

Not 1 republican voted for Obamacare----fact. Own your fascist health insurance law. Stop running from it. You were just bragging about it a few posts ago.
Box forgets to mention the people who lost their health-care and had to accept Obama-care and were counted as a person who didn't have any health insurance. What about the rising cost of Obama-care every year since it was shoved down America's throat. High deductibles on many of the less expensive health plans. Most of the people who like the new health-care insurance are the ones who get those sweet government subsidies that the taxpayer gets to pay for. All that was done to cut the cost of health insurance, not.
OK Shadow... you make all these claims, but the actual FACTS is that the cost of health care in America, although rising (as it has done for at least the last 60 years) is now rising at a much slower rate than at any time in the last 60 years... THANKS TO OBAMACARE!!!

Lol! Box has to create an argument out of thin air when proven wrong. Sad.
PROVEN WRONG???
If you are not LEGALLY MARRIED Bigamy is not a crime.
Cissy wants to ignore marriage authorized by the STATE, then whine when the state makes laws about that bond.
To commit bigamy, you must first be legally married.

The sad thing is your belief of criticizing collectivism and mindless flag waving will destroy Murica.
Flag waving??? Do you really think that I'm a flag waver Cicero??? Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm not a flag waving kind of guy and neither is my politics. I support the USA when it's right and fight the USA when I feel it's wrong. (Merica, love it or leave it is not in my vocabulary.) ---------------------------------------------------------- Another minor point... IMO the term 'MERICA' is usually reserved for Right Wing uneducated Conservative Red Neck Republicans. Not cowardly evil leftist Socialists!

the reps/dems/libertarians are ALL one in the same! kinda like the good cop/bad cop. this country is in an economic, political, military, moral downward spiral. Don't vote, turn tv(news) off and find peace. don't become part of the division that has been 'created' by Gov Almighty. that's one of the reasons Rome fell. and the American Empire, if it doesn't change quickly, will fall in just the same way.

Empires fall because it's impossible to maintain hegemony. Coercing people through force to believe in one singular way of life is violent and expensive. The individual prevails, people no longer sacrifice for the "greater good" of the collective.

Proving just how out of touch with Americans he actually is, and proving exactly whose interests he represents. Jeb Bush actually said Americans need to work longer hours and in turn, they would “gain more income.”
No, really. He actually said that.
In an interview with New Hampshire’s Union Leader as reported by ABC News, was live-streamed on the app Periscope, Jeb! was answering a question about tax reform. He said:
“My aspiration for the country and I believe we can achieve it, is 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see. Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families. That’s the only way we’re going to get out of this rut that we’re in.”

MOST Successful people DO work longer hours...ask the typical successful Doctor, lawyer, or engineer if they work only 40 hours a week?... ask a successful business owner if 40 hours is enough?,... just wait until they stop laughing for their answer...
This Country is doomed...the entitlement society is taking over....The gap between the haves and have-nots will continue to increase as our society gets indoctrinated with responses like the one above to Jeb's statement.
