I just watched Goldman’s testimony. What a pantywaist — I wanted to reach out and wring his scrawny leftist neck. He got a college degree, worked in social service (or something) and is now a waiter at age 33, pursuing his dream. He claimed ACA cut his health care premiums in half and he was covered for his pre-existing conditions. Issa asked him if he received a subsidy and he said “no.”
Right. Doctors bailing out all over the country; nobody can keep his or her doctor; premiums skyrocketing; deductibles skyrocketing; health care costs going up faster than every before; all passed under cover of darkness after innumerable kickbacks to dirty Senators; “insuring” millions of new enrollees. And he’s saving 50%. None of that squares with every bit of anecdotal evidence offered over the past couple years.
The radical extreme leftists on the committee, Goldman, Tavenner — it’s just sickening watching any of them.
I'd be willing to bet he underclaims his tips and keeps his earned income reported to a minimum. Even single, low paying jobs can qualify a person for EITC, SNAP, etc.
