Re: 2016 Election
FYI the coverage for a colonoscopy depends on how the visit is 'coded'. I'm about to get my '5-year' colonoscopy and I found out that if it is coded as a 'preventive' procedure, it's covered by insurance without having to meet any out of pocket limits. But if it is coded as part of a 'procedure' (sorry, I'm not getting the right terms), it is no longer 'preventive' and has to be covered differently. This is not related to ACA at all.
More generally, ACA is highly misunderstood. First of all, the vast majority of Americans are covered by Group Health coverage through their employers, and are somewhat shielded from any ACA impacts. Where ACA really comes in to play is on individual plans, which only a relatively small number of people are even candidates for. Prior to ACA, insurance companies were able to refuse coverage based on pre-existing conditions, or set astronomical rates for said coverage (for private plans only).
Oh, and what Trump is proposing is a joke that will assuredly increase the number of uninsureds.

So Trump's response to Mitten's diatribe is that "'I could have told Mitt Romney to drop to his knees". Is he saying what I think he's saying? Because if he is then that's unfortunate as the evangelicals don't like that sort of thing.
Also Mittens is hoping a brokered convention and his stepping in and having another crack...

If I were Trump I'd play the recording of Romney's speech given at the GOP fund raiser three years ago.
I'm just loving seeing the Republicans tearing each other apart.

Debate is supposed to be online for free (Fox News).

When I look at Cruz, he reminds me of a Clanger.
Or is it another children's TV/cartoon character?
