You read the whole bill?
Why did you do that?

10/10, though I thought the questions suggested the answers and I did not read the bill.

I got better than 40% blindly answering yes to every question...

You could've gotten better than 50% blindly answering no to every question.

Actually that gives me 36%. (so does all yes's at this point)
That's because the percentile is a comparison to other people, the majority of which obviously got more than half the questions right
The numbers for yes and no are the same, because the correct answers are 5 yes and 5 no
:math:

I was talking about his total accuracy score and not his in-relation-to score, but your math is spot-on. Good catch.

It doesn't matter who they say is covered or not covered. Illegal aliens will still go to some hospital if need be and we will still pay for it, as we will those that are now uninsured. It won't suddenly become cheaper nor will anyone that is now sponging off of the system suddenly become a contributor. It is just cost shifting. If anyone that now buys insurance thinks they will get a better plan or a cheaper one because of this you are delusional no matter what bill of goods some liberal foundation trys to sell you.

I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Here's my understanding and you're welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.
Currently, we have a small group policy that is asinine expensive. last I looked my healthy family of 3 is about $1400 per month. The group is less than 10 people with some old and some as young as 26. Others in groups pay far, far less. For instance, my friend sitting here now works for a local hospital and the total cost of his policy is $660. The employer pays for him and half the family.
If the exchanges are what they're supposed to be then us small business people who are currently being abused would be able to insure our folks for much less than we can now.
How's that a bad thing?

That won't change until the EMTALA is repealed.. 30+ votes to repeal Obamacare in the House but not a peep about Reagan's EMTALA, which requires hospitals to treat patients with "emergency conditions" regardless of whether they can pay or if they're even a citizen..

A hospital should just let someone die if they don't have money? Or if they don't have their papers on them, just let 'em bleed out?

I think by putting the 'emergency conditions' in quotes was more of a tribute to people going to the ER for common ailments and not actual life threatening conditions.
I missed 2 on the quiz.
