to have americans on the ground to call in the strikesful that s what some of the iraqis want. the obama administration has been resisting it. i think the pressure is likely to grow. what would the spotters look like? how many would we need and will this turn this around? i keep hearing this we need more special operators, those could help if they were coordinated the right way. you can t truthfully put an air force spoter on the ground with a force not able to coordinate their activities. what will happen is the guys on the ground say hit that target over there. you have to clear that target before you bring the airplanes in. that s a part of the problem. you don t know who the friends and enemies are out there. that has to come from the command and control once again. same thing with special operators, dumping a bunch of special operators sfloo theinto the mix isn t going to do much. how do you coordinate better than what we ve seen? again it goes to peter s

to be where there s not enough young healthy people in here, does that mean in september, in september of this year and going into 2015, we ll see premiums get raised? i mean, it is early still. we don t know the insurance companies don t know, this last minute rush historically young healthy people are the final ones to sign up. that s what they thought in massachusetts. and everything anecdotally we re seeing now suggests that s happening now. it s hard to know. we ll wait and see. the system is designed to have some shock absorbers. if the mix isn t quite right, it should put restraint where the prices go next year. it s going to be 51 different stories. every state and the district of columbia is different. avik, what should be the republican you said the republicans dropped the ball a little bit, this he don t have a realistic alternative. what should be their next move now? i ve told this to members that i ve spoken to. you have to hold the authors of the bill respons
