> Maybe all I see is people posting letters about their rates going up though. a data point: I also see a lot of people talking about God and Jesus and how they have a personal relationship with them, etc, etc. Personally I've never seen them. I have a guess as to the status of things in those situations. Also I see a lot of "people" saying how Justin Bieber is, "like, so cute. OMG. he's so hawt! and a genius! omg. like, amazing. omg. omg". So clearly, this must be factually true, correct?

>So clearly, this must be factually true, correct? I didn't say that. You shouldn't try to put words in someone else's mouth. I was mainly looking for some credible, unbiased facts. A lot of the positive anecdotes seem to be ignoring price reductions due to tax credits or something but I am not sure. Huffington Post's story has a family of 5 getting insurance for $100-something, while I see people saying their family went from like $600 to $1,000+.

  > I didn't say that. You shouldn't try to put words in someone else's mouth. I didn't say you said that. boggle My point was to bring up the general phenomenon of: -- some people are stupid -- some people are ignorant (and/or draw conclusions from a very limited or ephemeral data set) -- some people are liars -- some people are malicious -- some people spin -- some "people", on the web, don't exist, or they're sock puppets -- some people have subjective tastes ("Burgers taste bad." --> Therefore, all burgers taste bad for everybody. What?)
