Atherton resident Evan Collins lives in the nation’s second priciest ZIP code, where $4 million barely buys you a fixer-upper.

The 54-year-old retired financial planner has tendonitis and asthma

This 64 year old farmer is still working 60 hour weeks so this retired financial planner can stay in his multi million dollar Atherton home. It was freaking cold this morning when I headed out before daybreak. Sell your house got out and get some health insurance.

One of the preexisting conditions covered by Obamacare:

Transsexualism

[arl295]

Exactly

These people, whom are real estate millionaires, want the rest of us to subsidize their lives

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Word!

[Pollster1]

Agreed. I have no sympathy for those who demand that others support them. Obamacare needs to die, and it needs to be followed by a large number of other big government programs.

[RWB Patriot]

What do these moochers expect to do when the government runs out of people to loot from?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Trump said he would save preexisting condition clause in Obamacare —it will be part of the new Trumpcare. Worry not California.

[Tax-chick]

We will never run out of Other People’s Money! Only loser countries run out of Other People’s Money!

They are not going to take me back if Obamacare goes away,” Collins, a registered Republican, said of insurance companies in the deregulated health care world that Trump and the Republican Congress are envisioning.

“The companies don’t care,” said Collins, who voted for Hillary Clinton. “That’s why I’m a big fan of Obamacare.”

breathtaking. they always just happen to find one.

While I can’t relate to asthma, I’ll put my list of ailments up against his anyday. And I’m still working 6-7 days a week and paying for my own damned $1300/mo insurance out of my after-tax ditchdiggers income

[artichokegrower]

Hey financial planner my financial plan is not to pay for your health insurance.

[wally_bert]

That would be about the only good thing.

[Lisbon1940]

>> Obamacare needs to die

Along with a lot of the people of n it. That might sound cold but there it is.

The 54-year-old retired financial planner has tendonitis and asthma — conditions that he said previously increased the cost of his insurance.... living in one of the expensive places in the country, whining about Obamacare,

Is it any wonder no one takes liberals seriously anymore?

His home price is Zestimate®: $4,748,920

[jennychase]

Last sold: Jun 1995 for $820,000.

He can sell house and move to San jose and can get newer house for one million.

[HarleyD]

This is a Republican who voted for Hillary, is well-to-do, and paying $1700 a year for health care. (No mention of what the deductible are.)

I don’t believe it.

[A CA Guy]

I will have the worst plan at the highest price.

Just under $500 a month with a $6300 deductible.

[ChessExpert]

Good point. That way, they can claim to have presented both sides.

I remember flipping channels during one of George W. Bush’s State of the Union Addresses. One channel (MSNBC?) showed him talking in the background. The sound was muted. In the foreground you had a liberal and a conservative. The liberal was bashing Bush about the war in Iraq. The conservative was Pat Buchanan. He was bashing Bush about the war in Iraq. There you have it - both sides.

[Yogafist]

Somehow, one person that favors Obamacare is news?

[Secret Agent Man]

how have they not been worried under obamanocare?
