It’s not a fluke that there are hundreds of gas station/mini mart/fireworks stores on the border.

They’re all on medicaid.
Will have no impact.

So if they are smokers, sign up for Obamacare, and qualify for subsidies......does that mean if their premiums are $10k a year (because of smoking) does the taxxpayers get to pay all that money to the insurance company? So the penalty for smoking is higher premiums but the person signing up doesn’t actually pay the penalty the taxpayers do.
That would make as much sense as anything else they do.

In other words this news article is going to pretend that a 50 cent increase is really a 25 cent cut?

Great point!
