But the steep drop in rates in New York will likely not be mirrored in many other states. That's because New York is one of the few that already required many of the benefits of Obamacare, which left its individual market filled with a small pool of sicker residents and very high costs. Only 17,000 New Yorkers buy their own insurance right now, while 2.6 million people lack coverage. Might have overlooked that tidbit. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Let's just examine each one.... 1) There are more people on Welfare in Illinois than there are people working. If you care to split hairs I'd say this a mostly false however, when there are 4.9 million private sector jobs and 4.7 million are receiving some form of government handout it's nothing to be proud of. 2) Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S.averaging $110,000/year. 3) Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. 80% graduation rate from High School. Obviously strong teacher's unions don't make for high graduation rates. In Chicago the graduation rate drops to 60%. Way to go! Something to be proud of. 1) Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 2) 221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US. A quick look here shows the war zone that is the city. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/chicago-homicide-rate-2013 Many murders and lots of folks getting shot but thankfully not dying. Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country http://www.forbes.com/2007/07/05/schools-taxes-education-biz-beltway_cz_cs_0705schools.html $9300 per pupil and a rank of 74 out of 100. You must be thrilled. State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20130110/NEWS07/130109847/pension-fund-rankings-by-state-were-no-50 Yep...last. Hope those high priced teachers don't live too long. .Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country Gotta pay those teachers. I like Chicago. My step daughter lives in Lincoln Park. Been there many times. It's a nice place to visit. Really it is. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

A wonderful State with ZERO Republicans 1) There are more people on Welfare in Illinois than there are people working. 2) Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S.averaging $110,000/year. 3) Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. You can't blame that on republicans because there aren't any. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago? 1) Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 2) 221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US. Here's the Chicago chain of command: . President: Barack Obama . Senator: Dick Durbin . House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. . Governor: Pat Quinn . House leader: Mike Madigan . Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) . Mayor: Rohm Emanuel . The leadership in Illinois- all Democrats. . Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. . Of course, they're all blaming each other. . Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! . Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! . State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! .Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! . This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he was going to 'fix' Washington politics for us??? George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house. Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of months ago. That is because he is fighting being sent to...that's right, the big house. . The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates. But you know what? As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

I understand you have trouble seeing the forest for the trees. The very sentiment you evoke is the reason blacks have not advanced as quickly as other persons 'of color'. What more would you have the government do? Your liberal bleeding heart has enslaved blacks in this country. Generations are now dependent upon government for their survival. Jackson, Sharpton and their cronies depend on race baiting for their popularity. You just don't see the damage liberal policies have inflicted over the last 60 years. Please don't dent the planet.

I think the Admin decided to have the DOJ say it to float it as a trial balloon and gauge public opinion (re: further charges); then decide based on that.

Let me set up yesterday's drama. My step SIL (engineer) has his car stored in a friend's warehouse (2011 lancer Evo). It has been there for 13 months. My friend has rented that part of the building and needs to move the car to a different area. Battery is dead. He was going to charge the battery and move the car. That set off a series of text messages referring to the exact type of charger to be used and asking my wife if she would buy a 5 gallon gas can, fill it up, and dump it in the car. I ended the drama by instructing my friend to leave the car where it was. I hope an appliance falls on it. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
