It makes regular health insurance beyond the reach of low-income folks...period. Unless you invent a mythical tax break of some type, or tax credit, or imaginary tax refund (all of which the Republicans suggested instead of the current program)...this is mostly just waiting till December when folks figure out the cost has gone up twenty to forty percent, and they just decline to get health insurance in 2015.
10 years ago a Blue Cross plan was $112/month. Plenty affordable for everyone. Under OBamaCare, that plan is $380.
I wonder what will happen to all those that magically became eligible for medicare, will that still stand?
