Then ACA fails. The days of $1 Rx and $5 copays have to end. People have to stop going to the doctor for a simple cold, insisting on a Rx, filling it but never using it because the cold was gone.

You think healthcare should be more expensive to stop people from using it? I thought the whole problem here is that healthcare in the US is so expensive that almost nobody can afford good care?

The ACA would be just fine. It needs to be funded by people like me with higher income taxes, not by people who make $30k and have a nice insurance plan because of a union contract.

Airlines need to stop requiring sick notes when you have a cold and can't fly.

Additionally, I would also like a unicorn.

A pink one.

I don't know first hand, but Mesaba supposedly used to until the guy that was chronically sick was finally found to have cancer. After that Mesaba felt a little dirty inside and stopped asking for sick notes, which is funny because it might have been the company's wrong motivation that saved the pilot's life.

The moral of the story (for me), don't gamble on your health. Furthermore, take all the sin taxes (and create a few new ones for sports betting) and dump them into public health care and the ACA, even if that means republican's (small r) heads explode. They've made themselves irrelevant, and I say we embrace that by not taking their "feelings" into consideration or their lives. Expand the ACA, make it public, have a holiday every year where true conservatives can air their grievances and then go to their primary care doc a couple times a year to be told they have to cut out the raw baby seal to bring their cholesterol down.

Ahhhhh, baby seal. Where's my club?

Fine. But it's not. It's funded by reducing ridiculous use of the system and the Cadillac tax for those that insist. Do you really think Congress will raise taxes on higher earners beyond the additional Medicare tax in effect now?

Because I once mentioned 'That show is not as bad as I thought it was' to my fiance after being forced to watch several episodes with her daughter, every birthday or holiday my fiance has to give me some kind of gag Pony/Brony gag-gift. I could iterate through but it would make nobody feel good and most I just immediately regift to her daughter. I do use my Rainbow Dash coffee mug, because its a nice mug and I have plausible deniability if anyone sees it.

The one gift that has remained in its packaging unused or ungifted is the pair of Rainbow Dash adult male boxer shorts she got me last Christmas. Just the fact that they make such things gives me the skeevies a little bit.

She laughs at me that I won't use them because nobody would see them under my clothes, but she doesn't understand the trauma gods or other EMS superstitions -- Just like laying down on your bed is the sure way to get toned out for a flight, if I _EVER_ wore those I would surely get T-Boned by a drunk driver on my way to work and have them seen by the responding paramedics when they cut my pants off, all of whom I know personally. I would rather be caught in frilly lacy crotchless edible women's panties than that. Not that I wear those, but it would be less embarassing.

But I do stand by my statement... compared to such obscenities as Phinias and Ferb, Adventures of Gumball or Adventure Time or a dozen other terrible shows I've been forced to watch... My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic is while not fun to watch it does not make me want to just shove my head through our plate glass door and bleed out to get away from.
