That program is all about slow and steady progress and continually beating your rep maxes each 3 week cycle. You can even keep running that cycle without testing his max for awhile..if he gets up to repping 185-190 5 times or so, he should definitely be beating 205.

Cool man, Ill report back with his progress.

Why would anyone think that was a good idea?

Im just guessing as guy who they need in the pool. You got a bunch of sick poor people who couldn;t get insurance before- so I was in an insurance pool with mostly healthy people. My insurance for my family runs about $250 per month. Under the ACA the CHEAPEST policy will be about $900 per month, which covers almost nothing. This is because the insurance company now needs to charge everyone more because they are going to be paying for sick people too. So they need some healthy people to pay and not use it to cover the sick people's costs. They lose money on the sick make money on the healthy. If the healthy people like me don't feel like paying 400% increases (I flat out won't pay $1000 per month for insurance, I will become mormon and join a religious co-op first), they will just lose money. The government subsidizes it so the insurance companies can collect the otherwise insanely high premiums. But eventually, they have to get healthy people who wil pay the full monte in there, or it is just losing money and the government trying to collect the rest through taxes. I will gladly pay the penalty to avoid paying those premiums and I assume every other person in my situation will do the same. Or they will find alternatives, like retiring and artificially lowering their incomes to get the subsidies. If I could retire now, I would and then let everyone else subsidize me like a lottery winner on food stamps because my "income" is low. I just think that no sane healthy person is going to pay the ridiculous premiums. I have heard it is worse in some states than others.

I wish they would just go full socialist with it and collect it with taxes. Leaving the insurance companies in is going to ruin it, they aren't going to lose money, they never do. So someone has to pay, and it won't be me. That said, they can probably tweak it and make it work eventually. Just as it is now, I really don't think it will. That said, there is a lot there, so it may just be my initial reaction. I can promise you I won't pay those premiums though. I was shocked at how expensive it was. I thought it was going to go up like 30%, not quadruple in price.

Oh jesus, 900 a month for insurance? FUCK THAT SHIT!! Insurance is the biggest ripoff in the world. Sound like its just another program to support the worthless people of America just like welfare and food stamps.

I want to start setting at home, collect a free check, get free food, and free insurance. Sounds like the life

Well, I really don't like insurance either, but understand that it is necessary. Right now, I have a $10k per person deductible, which is fine for me, because no one in my family is sick and I have the money to cover the deductible. This plan is not allowed under the ACA, because apparently it isn't good enough. So I have buy a "better" plan (one that has a $5k deductible, but doesn't cover as much after the deductible- AKA, a worse plan), and pay $900 per month. For something that I would say is equal to my plan now, it would be like $1300 per month. So, yeah, I'm not doing that.

I don't know that it is only for the worthless though. I mean, there are sick people out there that basically have to die if they don't have insurance. So in that regard, I like the idea of making hospitals treat people who are sick or dying (you can't go to the ER to get your cancer treatment), but the total cost is the problem. The cost of healthcare is too high overall, so it is making these insurance premiums ridiculous. I don't know. I need to stop talking about it, because I am debating politics on the internet (not really debating since svino is not here to represent the communist position).

I was going to reply with the standard, only white people do that shit.

My POS brother in law is living this live right now, and has for around 15 years now.

back around 1998 His then girlfriend, said that He left Her and their son, and She had no job, so they give her medical, food stamps and cash. These motherfuckers had 2 more kids in the mean time and get even more food stamps and cash now as well as medical for all 3 kids.

The entire time, He never left Her. He has a pretty decent job at the Gas Company, makes like 50k a year. All she has to do is go to the local welfare office and tell them the same story again and these dumb motherfuckers just re up her for another year.

Another Ben Rothwell situation. Get a TUE, take too much, get caught.

But really, who cares...that fight was too good. I don't think Bigfoot increasing his testosterone levels made it so he could take those shots from Hunt...that fight was too good to care about this lol
