Anyone who thinks DonDiego would have highlighted a very modest 4% increase in Obamacare premiums, please raise your hand. And your IQ.

Is forkushV trying to make poor old DonDiego cry?

If forkushV has a beef with anyone, it is with the New York Times. The original post on this thread comprised a discussion of 11 States' requests for 2016 increases in Obamacare Insurance rates. DonDiego didn't choose the States; the New York Times did.

And poor old DonDiego was accused by a fellow Las Vegas Adviser poster of "cheery picking". DonDiego had only cited each increase discussed in the New York Times article. All eleven!

And now forkush post a single screen-grab of a headline from a single State with a more modest increase, . . . and does anyone say : "cheery picker ! cheery picker !". No. No one.

DonDiego is deeply hurt, . . . and disappointed. DonDiego requests he be excused so he can go get a tissue.

CHEERY PICKER ! ! !

As someone who does not carry health insurance for myself or my immediate family I declare myself as unbiased judge of this thread.

DON DIEGO WINS!!!*



*based on the humorous aspect, I have no clue as to the facts.

Anecdotal data can only be used to make a broad point when it fits DonDiego's agenda. Im pretty sure thats in the LVA terms of service agreement.

Is forkushV trying to make poor old DonDiego cry?...
Does DonDiego have a persecution complex?

I never ever EVER criticized you for posting the NY Times preliminary rate requests. I simply pointed out that while you claimed my post reinforced the title of this thread, you would have NEVER linked to a story about a modest 4% rate increase.

Does anyone deny that? Cowboy Kell, I'd especially like to get your take on that.

__Umm, no. However, he does occasionally suffer paranoia; and he knows some people are out to get him.

__"SACRAMENTO -- Covered California, the state's health insurance exchange, on Monday boasted a second straight year of modest rate hikes next year for the majority of its customers, but one region of the state won't have it so easy: the Bay Area.
While average premiums will rise only 4 percent statewide, rates will climb as high as 12.8 percent in Santa Cruz County, 7 percent in Santa Clara County and more than 6 percent in Alameda and San Mateo counties, exchange officials revealed.
Meanwhile, premiums will move more modestly in some parts of the state, such as Southern California, where rates will dip 0.2 percent in northeast Los Angeles County and inch up in southwest L.A. by only 2.5 percent. The reason, many say, is simple: There is more competition among hospitals and doctors' groups in Southern California than in Northern California."

Umm, . . . DonDiego just linked to a newspaper confirming forkushV's report of California Obamacare insurance rate increases.
As CowboyKell might say: "DonDiego wins, . . . again !"

Ah, but you linked to a different story highlighting the higher rates in one particular area. Besides, people who announce victories on Internet threads are kind of silly, aren't they. Even sillier if they are crying at the same time.

NEVER is a very absolute word. "most likely" I would accept. Oh, and there wasn't much humor in it.
