Fox gets trolled by satire site yet again.

Quote:It’s often been said that instead of being a reputable source for news, Fox News instead comes closer to emulating a televised version of The Onion, the well-known satire news source. Fox more than lived up to that billing on Tuesday morning’s episode of Fox & Friends when the hosts of the program apparently cited a conservative satire news outlet as the basis for their bizarre choice of topic, lowering the collective IQ of their viewers even further. It all started when Fox & Friends host Clayton Morris warned the audience that they would have to “say goodbye to your favorite sprinkled doughnut.” Morris held up a plate of palatable doughnuts and said, “They’re getting rid of doughnuts like these. Doesn’t the FDA have more important things to do than regulate sprinkles?”

Quote: Each American consumes a mere 1.3 grams of trans fats per day. That's roughly 0.6% of our total daily calories, and no research suggests that this poses a health risk. But that's not enough to dissuade the federal nannies from regulating even the most minute aspect of our daily lives. The irony here is that trans fats were once pushed by liberal groups such as the Center for Science in the Public Interest. This poster child for the food police in 1988 published a book titled "Saturate Fat Attack" that condemned the use of saturated and polyunsaturated fats then in vogue. Food companies soon switched to trans fats, a move for which CSPI proudly took credit. In its Nutrition Action Newsletter on March 1, 1988, CSPI not only downplayed health risks associated with trans fats but promoted them as a health benefit. It even cited a study that found a "significant positive correlation" between trans fats in animal fats and cancer rates. The nanny state that tells us what cars we should drive, what energy we must use and what health insurance we must buy has told mothers what they can put in their children's school lunches and even whether they can take mom-made lunches to school at all. Slurpees and now sprinkles are a health hazard, according to those who mysteriously know what's good for us.

My wallet is taking a severe hit , all because of the Demcorats. That's all the proof I need. I bet you were part of the herd who thought the ACA enrollment #'s really DID hit their minimum level of 7 million enrolled, when in fact, they were well off that number. Funny. The truth wasn't " discovered " until like 6 months later.

Nice try. It doesn't have to be your bill. All you need to do is find a http://kff.org/health-costs/ that supports your claim (and the Republican party's claims) that healthcare insurance costs increased because of the ACA. Or, maybe, your bill went up because you decreased your deductible? That would be your fault, not ACA. Or, maybe, you are now male after a sex change? Is that why your health insurance premium doubled? You shouldn't blame ACA for that, either.

My rates had gone up for years prior to the ACA, and then went down in its first full year. That proves conclusively that the ACA is saving Americans money. It also proves that raptard is a complete dipshit. Also, as usual, he can cite no sources.

It was said all along that there would be winners and losers under Obamacare, and that rich people especially could expect their rates to go up. It's not personal. It's just war.

It's entirely the fault of the ACA, and your ignorance on this matter isn't going to change that.

Quote:Originally posted by THGRRI: Obama has nothing to do with setting prices. He only put a program in place to help ease pricing and get more people insured. The fact that you still suggest that the President is setting pricing shows how disingenuous you are or at the very least, ignorant of the topic. Perhaps you should look into it first instead of spewing negative talking points from Fox News.

Quote:Rappy You're just flat out factually wrong here. Putting the program in place is specifically what amounts to higher costs. Rates went up, despite the claims that the average family would get a drastic ( $ 2,500 ) reduction in HC benefits.

Oh, one more thing, that would only be effective for working people and their kids. Those others, who freeload off of the working stiffs like you and me, they don't count for shit, the lazy bastards.

Which one is it? A or B. Don't be shy, step right up and pick one (it's for charity).
