GASP!! A government program is destructive to the work ethic, family, self-reliance and saving?

$20,000 for insurance per year is just plain stupid.
You can afford to cover quite a bit of health care costs over 10 years and you would be totally in charge of your decisions .

I would laugh at that government program if it weren’t for that middle class family that is now being separated from 8 thousand more dollars of their hard earned income.
And a fair share of them will be small business, and they’ll make up the difference by cutting jobs.

The marriage tax. I wonder what the homo world thinks about this.

Yep. Medical savings account paired with a low cost crisis type plan.

I’m sure they’ll come up with an exemption for non-traditional marriages.

No need to come up with an exemption. A couple can get married in a religious ceremony, skip getting the state license and come out way ahead.

Where? I thought you need a marriage license before the church will do any marriage ceremony. [California]

They seemed in a rush to marry after Bush took away the marriage penalty.

They might be able to sign up folks that qualify for lots of subsides, but it will be difficult to sign up anyone that is close to the subsidy limit. Healthy people making between 60-100k will not sign up unless they get sick; the “insurance” bite will be too big.
All the propaganda in the world will not prevent people from acting in their best proximate financial interests. Sure, drones can make an emotional decision when it comes to voting, but parting with money for ideological reasons will not happen to any great extent.

Indeed, I ask where as well! I know homosexuals did it for years, but I know of no clergy who will without the license.

$20,000 for insurance per year is just plain stupid. Yeah, we're gonna pay more money and get less care and we'll have to stand in line for hours to get it.

Not me.
I got a wad of greenbacks(wacsist?) Just for med emergencies.
Had one occur a few years back and having cash on hand proved valuable.

Not just that.....
As I was typing I was thinking of all the other taxes we pay for medical care of all sorts without ObamaCare® and wonder “will we be paying those taxes in addition to this asinine and fascistic dictated?”.
Aaaaand I don’t know.
Maybe San Fan Nan has the answer...

I personally know two people who are all of a sudden being charged outrageous prices for their regular meds.
Don't know why one med jumped to $2400 per month.
Both of these people don't have a lot of cash.
Their short term solution? Friends are pooling their supplies to help out.
But that can't last for very long.

Geezus!!!
Are they taking cancer or HIV meds??
That’s awful!
Sometimes the manufacturer will help.
If not, go to Mexico, Canuhduh or Eastern Europe for vacation and get the meds.
