Correct, but at least you can make the wrong slightly more convenient. If you're going to force me to buy a product that I neither want nor need, the least you can do is pick it out for me, purchase it for me, and just let me deal with the bill.

One of my biggest objections to Obamacare as it has been implemented in Oregon so far, is I don't have 164 hours of my life to give away to downloading a 19 page PDF, to print out, fill out, send in, get the wrong one back, get my identity stolen by the prison inmate doing data entry, get the right one back, pick a plan, get told it's the wrong plan, get a guess on what my subsidy will be, pay the wrong amount, have to write 6 checks to pay the right amount, only to get fined in the end because they lost the paperwork.

Yeah, exactly. Get him a job with a real employer, like one that pays a living wage.

Who owns the prison? Most of them have been privatized now.

I'd say that is the ideal situation. The methodology of Obamacare is that you are forced to buy a product. Identity thieves buy the product for you, and get a bonus from the insurance company for signing you up. A win-win-lose out of a system that was previously lose-lose.

Send offer and respond with resume, isn't that a bit backwards?

Oh, and like a cousin once told my great grandmother- nobody's going to get excited over somebody born in 1970 who needs a girdle. (ok, so the original version was more nobody's going to r*p3 a woman born in 1902, but the same idea applies).

And then from a Starbucks, using their wifi, post a meme picture saying that "X website has no security- don't use a critical password or personally identifying information for your kids unless you want them kidnapped by a sex abuser" on the App's facebook page.

Never own up to starting the meme, but watch things change VERY quickly.

Anyone who trusts Microsoft is a moron.
Microsoft Transparency is an Oxymoron; unless we are talking about Aero Glass transparency.

That is just silly. You mean that because you pay property taxes, you are free to take anything from the school? Besides electricity it has some computers and phones, and space that you can use for office or an extra room to live in. Hey you should be able to use the cafeteria kitchen to make your own meals!

Even better, you also paid taxes for the military. I guess you can take anything they own, too! A tank would be pretty neat for a weekend. I'm sure the "I paid taxes for this" defense will save me!

Cover Oregon is full of paper-related security breaches. Until they fix the security process, I for one will NOT be trusting them with my personal data- especially not filled out on paper and snail mailed.

I thought he was you actually.

In the future everyone will be Satoshi Nakamoto for 15 minutes.

I believe the poster you are responding too is saying that it was not done the way he proposes, and if it had been done the way he proposes it would be finished.

"that would seem to imply that people could become far more intelligent simply by acting like a genius"

Which is kind of Edison's life story, isn't it?

A mailing label on the back with full contact information does the trick.

Actually, the last time I snail-mailed a State Income Tax return, was 1994. Since my first W2 job, I've used Turbotax and saved the stamp.

And IIRC, even back then, it was a 40EZ since I was still in school- a one page form.
