I just hung up with my daughter who is trying to negotiate the morass called Obamacare.
She turned 26 a couple weeks ago and is apparently not eligible for Obamacare because the enrollment window was in January. Apparently they expected her to pony up case for four months prior to her actual enrollment time.
Not happening.
She’s a strong conservative. If she wasn’t, just this mess would change her mind.
Obamacare only works if you’re not working.
If you’re working, a $5,000 dollar deductible Bronze policy comes with a monthly premium of around $500.00. In other words, it doesn’t pay out anything until you’ve spent $5,000 dollars out of pocket.
Young, healthy employed people have already figured out that it’s cheaper just to pay the penalty than to pay for a policy they will probably likely never use.
