Apparently they see it as competition to Hartsfield. Guess we will see.

How many citizens would lose their homes to eminent domain procedures? I just saw something about that happening with a road project in Paulding. It doesn't bother some folks until they are the ones who have to give up their homes and property. Just heard Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed is opposed and will fight this. Wonder how much opposition will come from those involved with Hartsfield Airport. Will it cost Paulding anything to defend against that opposition? Doesn't the City of Atlanta/ Hartsfield still own some of the land or the rights to it? I have read things in the past about this bu

When the Airport was built the powers that be insisted that it would not become another big airport and could not land big planes. I am totally against this!

^ This... It all ties together to give more "bought" votes to folks who should love America and freedom more. Politicians really should be ashamed of their part in this but I think "we the people" should be more ashamed for allowing it to get to this point.

Shame on Harry Reid!!!!! Why should you want to save one child with cancer? Really Harry???? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/10/02/why-would-want-to-do-that/

Insurance companies had already agreed to do that before Obamacare was forced on the American people.

More like the Government has stepped in to make sure everyone pays the insurance companies. LPPT is right about who the big winners are in this Bad Law.

I think his main goal is to make it hard to be a Navigator for Obamacare without the background and qualifications. They are not required to have a high school diploma nor a background check and they can make up to $48 dollars an hour. I am glad that our insurance Commissioner has higher standards for the navigators working in Georgia. Maybe we won't let identity thieves get private information such as SS numbers for folks going into the exchange.

Only for those who will cheer for Obama and the Democrats no matter what they do. This is BAD LAW and needs to be changed. It is Socialism and that is never a good thing for freedom loving people.

This is all true. Can't understand why folks still support this Administration after all of the favoritism and special treatment they give to their friends at the expense of the American people. If Obamacare isn't good enough for big business,big labor, or Congress, then it isn't good enough for the American people!

If incomes are below a certain level? Folks that can't pay for the Silver will be subsidized? What the heck.....

Bob Woodward says it is on the President's head. Anybody remember him? http://freebeacon.com/woodward-if-shutdown-or-debt-ceiling-causes-economic-crisis-its-on-the-presidents-head/

Ted Cruz is donating his salary during the shutdown to charity and Gingrey issued this statement: Today: "I officially declined the Congressional subsidy for Obamacare. If the American people are forced to live with Obamacare, so should Members of Congress".

Well bless your pea pickin heart. I never saw that post by well read and I am fairly sure it was not directed at me personally. You do have a way of straying from the topic lately so back to the Government shutdown. Dallas red says the Military will get paid. The other group that will always get paid on time is Congress.

Not extortion just an effort to change a bad law. Not the first time that has been done and it won't be the last. I don't think the Obama voters will stay on his team once they see medical devices that are no longer paid for and their kids don't get the coverage they once did without huge premiums . It is coming because now folks are finding out what is in that Bill. Nancy was right about that.

You have been just about the rudest poster on the board lately. Since I would like to keep things on a respectful note and exchange ideas with others here I will try to ignore your insults and move on. Well read knows how to discuss issues. Maybe you could ask him for some lessons.

Now you have tread on some touchy ground. I don't think there is a better Congressman anywhere than Graves. Issakson needs to go. Gingrey is better than most and I will take him any day over Johnny and Saxby. You can blame the voters for all of them and that much is the truth.

I think the Republicans have proved that they are willing to discuss this bad law and try to improve it. The Democrats are not about to give an inch. I think the Republicans have to stand up and take a hard stand.

So glad I got to go last night! It was one for the books!

Obama Administration is cutting funds to the Dept. that investigates this kind of fraud. That Dept. has recovered Billions and Billions of our tax dollars. http://www.cnbc.com/id/101041552 Deep staff cuts are hitting a federal agency responsible for investigating health-care fraud just as Obamacare is due to kick in, leaving less people to investigate an ever-growing crime that costs taxpayers billions of dollars. The money at stake varies. In 2012, drug giant GlaxoSmithKline agreed to pay the U.S. government a whopping $3 billion for, among other things, promoting antidepressan

Huge crowd! Glad they turned out for her.

I read it that way too. Not a good deal.....

Some folks make assumptions instead of getting the facts. Been reading P.com long enough to know all of the above is true and you are not about free handouts. Obamacare is doing more harm than good and it is costing jobs.

Sorry but it was not. They are required by the law passed to enter into the exchange. Do some research. They were afraid the Congress would lose their staffers over it and they are now getting a subsidy. Read this.... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2013/08/30/obamacare-affects-executive-and-legislative-employees-differently/

No, they have to be included in Obamacare. It was in the Law they passed. The new law mandates that members and staff must enter into exchanges or be covered by insurance “created” by law.
