Ovomitcare implemented - women & children hardest hit...
Just saying, this question is different for people who are not on a government fall-back program.
GOP get with it.
Propose a real, meaningful alternative.
Minimum wage workers like the ones who work at fast food restaurants and retail stores will benefit because they will no longer have to choose between medical coverage through Medicaid and working (which disqualifies many from Medicaid without earning them enough to buy individual medical insurance, since few retail jobs offer medical coverage). For instance, a two-income couple that works for minimum wage at fast food restaurants will earn $21,866 if both average 29 hours a week 52 weeks a year. They earn too much to be eligible for Medicaid, but too little to buy medical insurance, which comes out to between $5K to $7K a year. Under Obamacare, they pay $759 a year, and the Federal government (aka budget aka taxpayers, eventually) makes up the $4311 difference The problem, of course, is the hit to the federal budget. If 50m people are subsidized for this amount annually, the cost is $100b a year or more, depending on how high premiums get.
Millions and millions spent on this monster knowing it wouldn’t work. Most of the millions were paid to friends.
Good! They voted for their own demise. Too bad.
Hope all the Obama voters are enjoying their further poverty.

Meanwhile, the corn and beans are planted and growing wall to wall.
They voted for him, now they can choke on it.
Reality sometimes has to come in the form of a 2X4 smack right to the head (figuratively speaking).
So many, so SO many, heard the soundbite “Free HEalthcare” and decided gee wiz, that’s great, I’m for it! Never ONCE did they glance at what was behind it or read up on it.
This is why elections are won on soundbites..Hope and Change, etc. The low infos’ are a much bigger problem than 0bamacare.
