You pay $300 for your cable and cell phone and claim that you have nothing else.
Obama has decided that you need to use that money for your health insurance. You don't have a choice, no more cable, no more cell phone.

But if 0bama stays in office, he’ll make sure that WE take over paying for their cable TV and cell phones, so they don’t have to do without. Just to be “fair”. He’ll tout it in terms of human dignity, saving jobs, anything he can to put a spin on it of it being urgent and vital.
Help me out.
I was venting about obamacare (the usual stuff: govt intrusion into lives, sets a horrible precedent, most of it is being paid for by the middle class, it will result in less quality and choice, the deceptive way it was passed, the liberal friends that get waivers, ...)
...and a woman was saying:
I don’t care about all that. I’m just glad I’ll be getting birth-control medication for female issues (not birth control), and some other pre-existing condition covered.
She says she’ll “save” $850/year.
This is a woman that doesn’t care about politics....thinks nothing as bad as I state will happen.
I said (a) it will end up costing you more than that big picture, and (b) $850/yr is a small price to trade for individual choice.
But, what about the math? How could I have countered that better?
