Forbes Article ---- Epic Fail of Obama Care?

Quoting from the Article:
-----------------------
I, along with most observers, have viewed as doubtful the likelihood that Obamacare ever gets repealed. Even if Republicans manage to regain the White House and the Senate by 2017, there will be tens of millions of people on Obamacare-based coverage by then. Prior to the website fiasco of October, the Congressional Budget Office projected that 34 million Americans would be enrolled in either the exchanges or the Medicaid expansion in 2017. It would be politically impossible to disrupt the coverage of 34 million people.
But what if the number is far less than 34 million? What if it’s only 5 million? Such an epic fail would seem far-fetched, but then again, so did the dismal performance of Obamacare to date. For 2014, the CBO has projected that 14 million previously uninsured Americans would gain coverage under the law. With about ten weeks left in this year’s enrollment period, we’re looking at a coverage expansion of less than a million.


So what do you think?

You told me this was a non-discriminatory place. Yet here you are, twice within one thread that isn't even over a page in length, exhibiting a misogynistic tone.
A misogynistic tone? Oh sweetie. You have the wrong bear by the tail. Sauve qui peut.

Sorry, I don't speak whatever language that is.

Please understand, I did not say you were a misogynist, but were giving that tone.

Referring to an attractive young female as nothing but a means for the servicing of your johnson. Almost a definition by example.

I'm perfectly willing to believe you meant nothing by it. Offense was not my intent.

Very well. Allow me to explain.
I am known locally for my somewhat unhinged sense of humor. I was looking for a counterexample to ObamaCare and Gary Johnson recommended himself. i have a serious weakness for puns, and JohnsonCare™ pretty much wrote itself. That image is still rated G, unlike others a Google search turned up. Trust in my sense of delicacy.

Misogynistic, I had to google that, Impressive. I have never heard anti-fem categorized so bluntly by a single word, yet had not wondered of its synonyms enough to try to find some. Where did you go to school / go to school? Terms like that make me think your an extensive google'r like me for education, or perhaps your intellect of the English language came from further education?

i'll let the bear speak for himself, but knowing him it was probably some kind of gary johnson pun.

Both. I read a lot.

However, misogyny, and many of it's root words were within my vocabulary prior to high school. I went to catholic schools growing up, and I earned my bachelors from Notre Dame in 2004, and my masters from University of Georgia.

Both my bachelors and masters are in Bio Chemistry.

Someone with a degree would know how to spell "biochemistry". But I could be wrong.
You're right, of course. However, I work for a less educated company. And my title, or job descriptor says Bio Chemist. Its something I've gotten used to.

It could be worse. I'm a physical therapist, having a small space between the e and the r can ruin your life.

Good job, I look back and wish I had gone to pt school. Instead I work for "big coal" and have to make a lot of the things they do appear to be not so bad. Pays well.
