....The ACA, also known as Obamacare, provides subsidies to help subscribers afford the cost of individual policies. The law also required all Americans, with a few exceptions, to have insurance.
Without the subsidies or the requirement that all Americans have coverage, experts say the healthiest customers would cease buying insurance if they do not have policies through their employers or through the government. As a result, insurers would be forced to increase premiums to cover the cost of treating those sicker patients who remain. Many would find they could no longer afford coverage.

Building the wall and repealing Obamacare were two big reasons people in the working class voted.
The comPost of Washington spews out more #fakenews.
The taxes, the mandates, the regs, they force employers to cut back jobs or suffer heavy losses which in the long run would lead to downsizing and lay offs anyway.
I had to fire 7 employees when this communist trite came out otherwise I'd have to severely downsize my business. I can't afford to be profitable and competititve and at the same time have Saddam Hussein Obama put a gun to my head and force me to pay for my employees health insurance which I might add is very very expensive...
Also, Obamacare does nothing. To apply is impossible and even if you do, they never pay bills. I know people who are homeless and 20k in medical debt and not one dime
Obamacare is a shill. A cheat. It is designed only for one purpose... to undermine the American economy and pave the way for a socialist dictatorship.
Don’t believe the premium bill in your mailbox, people.
Believe the Washington Post! /s
Doesn’t sound like their vision would punish the healthy working class...

“The essay I want to share with you is one the most excellent and far-reaching pieces of truth I have ever read.
The writer is Carl Herman. Carl Herman is a National Board Certified Teacher of US Government, Economics, and History; also credentialed in Mathematics...he demands a clear vision of the current Mainstream Media hoax that is currently being played upon Alternative Media. He gives examples of the true hoax of Mainstream Media, which has been played on the American people for a very long time.
That is how Alternative Media was born….we had to find our way from the darkness of lies to Light of truth. The Internet is both a positive and negative entity, but Alternative Media has become the positive force of the Internet...”

I think one of the reasons people get so concerned about the tweets is it is sort of a way around the press. He doesn’t have to rely upon, uh, rely upon — this is the modern era, modern technology. He’s at the point where we don’t need you guys anymore.

These people don’t get it... there are huge swaths of the working class working 2 jobs because they can’t get anyone to hire them for more than 30-35 hours a week because their employers can’t afford the Obamacare fees/penalties... SO these folks who used to work full time and get overtime as well, now work just as many if not more hours and get paid even less for them thanks to Obamacare...
The left are just abject morons... the whole lot of them.. their world view is so skewed by the unicorns farting rainbows they want believe they cannot deal with reality.
Oh noes.....healthy young adults make a free market decision to not buy insurance. The sky is falling the sky is falling
There are lots of regulations in the health insurance sector that most people don’t even know about. Insurance costs would go down even before we increase competition
Get rid of fake news.....
It is not the federal governments delegated power to look after the needs of ordinary Americans among the several States.
The Washington Post didn’t ‘get’ Trump.
They didn’t ‘get’ his followers.
They don’t understand what ‘the swamp’ is...
And they damn sure don’t ‘get’ what it means to replace Obamacare...
They are missing the economics. Without Obamacare, insurers will write smaller policies, covering only the care customers want. Over-insuring leads to over use of the services already paid for. I would prefer only to have major medical (very big claims) and pay for my own shots/checkups without the paperwork. Obamacare prevents that, so every mom whose kid has the sniffles will go in for the “free” care they already paid for.
No, thank you. Go back to the free market to save money. Freedom is a good thing, contrary to what democrats are trying to claim with their fake news web sites.
(one wonders how many Post writers have ever actually learned and worked at a skilled trade).
The working class has taken the biggest hit from Obamacare.....if it was working for them, there would be no talk of doing away with it....
The mainstream media and EU’s ‘Fake News Frankenstein’

Advertising sells; supply and demand still rules supreme in the world of business. Meanwhile, the mainstream media’s ‘Fake News Frankenstein’ is already starting to falter.
Like a drowning man fights to take down his rescuer with him, the mainstream media’s hooked up with the European Union in attempts to take down Breitbart, Alex Jones and Drudge.
A real life Mission Impossible unfolding before our very eyes.
Truth seekers starved from the truth by elected governments of the day recognize the good guys: Breitbart, Jones, Drudge, just as they do the bad guys holed up in the mainstream media.

The article is fake news, a completee lie.
I’m sick of subsidizing people who made irresponsible choices in their life and now have to pay the price, only to have Big Brother step in and take from me to give to them. Why live your life responsibly if the government is going to bail you out for all of your bad choices on food (food stamps), shelter (subsidized housing/subprime lending)and medical care (medicaid/ACA) while an ever shrinking majority of us played life by the rules and lived responsibly. Leaving them to their own devices is merely Darwinian culling the heard and building a stronger society.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
