Ironically, if you’re FPL is that low, you’re not really going to have a lot of “estate” for the goobermint to take from you.

You can live in a house that your grandparents built, on land that your grand-grandparents purchased. How much do that house and that land cost? A lot of money; but that's just numbers on paper. If you don't work the land you can be poor enough to get the "free" medical insurance.

You can get to that situation even if you are a billionaire. Just buy a few tons of gold, for all your money, and stash it in the basement. Do not sell; just let it sit there. You will have no income, but you would be still rich, and confiscation of your assets would be very profitable. Your time on this Earth may be limited by the people who will "proactively" clear the way in order to rummage through your valuables.

It's very dangerous to have people who can kill you *and* benefit from doing so. This was the case in Russia, in 1920's, when roving bands of Bolsheviks tortured people and robbed them of all that they had. Then they shared the gold with the state, in exchange for legal and military support.

It is not medical insurance, it is healthcare. They are very slippery about their presentation. They are offering a dumbed down expensive medical insurance for those who can pay for it and its outrageous deducables.

They are offering “healthcare” welfare for the rest and that, baby, gets paid back by by liquidating assets. That age 55, that is movable. Easily. by Fiat.

The costs of insurance? That is totally controlled by the leftist government and can toss lots of people onto “healthcare” and strip assets. This is a win win for the government and the healthcare/industrial complex.

There will be no middle class. Ever again.

Welcome to the peasant class, peons.
