Getting rid of the reinsurance fees is the worst idea yet. How could they fund the reinsurance program without it?

If republicans want to ax the reinsurance program, which smooths out the variability of the individual markets and allows rates to be 15% lower, whatever -- they just need to admit and own it.  But it's too late for 2014. The rates are already out there and people have already bought insurance.  Its simply too late to increase rates by 15%.  If Republicans want this, where have they been the last 3 years?

As the one remaining person who still likes John Boehner, could I get y'all to at least concede that he has a really difficult job?

Yes, but it's his own damn fault.

Unbelievable. If Boehner and other RINO traitors were going to surrender anyway, what the hell was the point of all this? Why get our hopes up for absolutely nothing?

Ted Cruz is a real-life Michael Eddington, selling idealistic fools on false hopes and impossible dreams.
