If it was illegal, we wouldn’t have a Congress.

Good marketing. They’re one of the few groups capable of adjusting revenue at will in order to pay the increased premiums.

Many sex workers -- a broad term that can refer to a number of services, including sexual massage, prostitution, and escort and dominatrix work -- consider themselves self-employed entrepreneurs who can't afford to purchase healthcare

$200 an hour and they still can't afford to purchase healthcare.

Somebody please raise the minimum wage already!!!!

A key detail for the crowd: Enrollment doesn't require users to report their employment.

No, but your doctor will still share your sexual history with Big Brother.

Someone needs to play devil’s advocate here, so here goes.

The name of the event is a tad over-the-top; but, it also worked. Don Draper would likely have approved.

While there’s no doubt these sex workers are getting a great deal — (no penalties for high-risk behaviour, and tax credits too), they aren’t the only ones to get these benefits. Only smokers pay a penalty for high-risk behaviour.

If everything else remained the same (which it never does), then keeping sex workers healthy could save the health-care system a lot of money. Do I need to spell out the reasons?

"Siouxsie Q" is giving out criminally bad advice. It doesn't matter that prostitution is illegal; they still have to pay taxes on the earnings or it's tax evasion. She shouldn't feel too bad, though - the morons at CNN missed that detail too.

Also, dollars to donuts misrepresenting your income to get the Obamacare "credits" violates another anti-fraud statue.
