Even the NYT finally seems to have realized that it’s the “Unaffordable Care Act.” It’s affordable only if you’re already on welfare.

No way is the NYT trying to criticize obamacare. This is just setting the stage to ask for an expansion of obamacare.

I empathize… Unfortunately, the impending “bailout” of the industry is not designed to keep the USS Healthcare afloat.

I am a lucky woman, too. He’s a great dad and husband.

I can’t believe what he’s doing to my business. I liked it small and pretty care free. Now it’s a pain in the whazoo.

Your husband has a great talent for business.

Let him have this one, and start another little one for yourself......

LOL!

Ya know, stephen, not only am I *not* worried, I’m also pleased. The morons have GOT to be punished, and better so if it be by their own hand. And throw in a little global warming, too. It’s predicted to be an even colder winter.

Great minds think alike. As I have gotten him off and running and don’t enjoy the work anymore, I started painting again. My house looks like an art gallery.

ObamaCare is essentially the middle class, who can’t afford health insurance now, being forced to subsidize Medicaid and free healthcare for others. If they don’t, they will be fined accordingly by the fascist federal government.

These people are only trying to force someone else to pay for their care. Never do they address why that care cost so much. And it cost so much primarily because of government regulation and lawyers.

That part is true. Unfortunately, they see even more liberalism as the only way to fix it.

Single payer. It’s what they’ve always wanted. Ocare was designed to fail.

I ran the Obamacare numbers for us too. You are right. With the premiums and deductibles it would be just over a third of our annual income before they kicked in a dime. How is that affordable?

It isn't! You're paying for free healthcare to everyone who doesn't work and is on welfare...........

You said he pays $350 a month. Unless he’s rather young, that seems exceptionally low for an ObamaCare exchange policy. You also said his income was 25k a year, which would mean he would qualify for subsidies.

He's 52.......

You sure about that? Unless I'm mistaken, nobody will really know until they file their 2014 income taxes........Am I wrong?

A 52 year old man living in Michigan is supposedly entitled to a $268 a month subsidy for his insurance. When you sign up, especially through healthcare.gov, the subsidy is applied to the premiums before you pay the remainder.

An average plan is $559.71 a month, after subsidy would be 290.94 excluding extras (some plans offer a little more, regional differences in costs, etc.)
