Obamacare screwed me out of thousands of dollars. First, I was in business for myself and was able to have health insurance written through my business. Obamacare forced me to include healthcare as income and because of my advanced age, the increase in “income” also threw me into a higher tax bracket. Second, the “increase” in income had me paying the IRS significantly more. In three years the “Magic Negro” cost me over $100K in income that I had prepared to apply to my retirement.
Exactly correct, as a businessman my insurance went from affordable to unaffordable. Right smack in the middle of Obama, something happened. I worked up until September, then people quit calling. It was like business hit a brick wall. I had to take a job for the State, and from there the pay graph started downward. I had insurance from my employers, but working construction in WA State only pays when it is nice out. Then it is hit and miss.
If I remember correctly, my insurance cost me just less than $100 a month and I could go into any doctors or clinic, and have an appointment. Afterwards, they wouldn’t even take my money, said it was a fraud.
