Hump Day Laughter

You don't know what level of violence you're capable of until you sit next to someone playing a game on their phone with all sounds on.

Righteous rant

1. So Hill D's "who have been starving for attention from the Obama administration" are delighted that Hillary is promising to change that.

2. These public servants feel "like a neglected stepchild." They hate how Obama "only comes around when he needs something."

ObamaCare: Saving Lives And Keeping People Happy

****

Sarah Kliff: Obamacare Creates Choice. That’s Why People Like It

Obamacare enrollees are more satisfied with their health insurance plans than those who get coverage outside the health law’s marketplaces, a new survey finds. J.D. Power and Associates on Thursday published a consumer satisfaction survey that looked at both people getting coverage through Obamacare and those who get coverage elsewhere, typically through their employer. They used a 1,000-point scale to measure how much people liked their coverage.

People who had coverage through Obamacare had an average satisfaction score of 696 in 2014, thinking back to their last year of coverage. During that same year, people in mostly employer-based plans had a satisfaction rating of 679 — 17 points lower. The J.D. Power survey suggests that there’s another variable enrollees think a lot about: choice. And this might actually circle back to the cost issue. People shopping on Obamacare have the option to decide whether they want a plan with a high premium or a low one.
