Obamacare Bleeding Out

[Pants II]

Everything the government does with taxes concerning the levels is to embed your precious mind with the thought process that it is absolutely pointless to earn more money unless you make enough where you can hire an accountant and attorneys to hide the money from the IRS.

So any person who is making good money but not enough to be like a politician is literally effed sideways by an infected schlong.

So yeah Obamacare is great if you're a broke idiot who wants Hillary to win because Trump is a white man and you hate strong white men who want to protect other white men and women from a group of people that have hated our kind for centuries.

But yeah it's good. It's all the evil insurance companies fault and not the assholes who didn't read the bill but signed it anyways because omg racism black guy in office have to lick his ******* cause slavery.

I pay the tax, btw. The deductibles are way too high. If anything were to happen I'd be bankrupt anyway.

It's horrible, unfair coverage that discriminates and punishes the healthy.

I am taxed for being healthy.

So 10 bad health welfare queens can continue their bad habits.

Sorry but there's no way it's going to save ME money. Maybe Scumbag Magee.

But then again it seems all our politicians care about are the super rich and they use the poor to invoke fear in the working class.

Working class needs to all quit. Then what? It all ends..

In fact all white men should stop working in protest.

2nd year of paying the tax. It was cheaper than one month's premium. Haven't had health insurance in 26 years.

Brilliant decision

Yes it was. By not paying for something I don't use, I paid off my mortgage early and am debt free. And I can afford to go to the doctor because I am not paying huge health insurance premiums. Ironically if I had the insurance, I couldn't afford to go to the doctor. Not having insurance is my choice. I would think that would be fine for all the pro choice people.

Hey, its a free country, you can do what you want. Hope it works out for you. That you dont become another bankruptcy due to an illness.
I never met my deductible due to illness...til last year. Two herniated discs in my neck, had to be fused because of how bad they were.
And now, at the end of may a full hysterectomy...and hubby already hit his this year too, with a bout with high blood pressure.
So, teo years in a row for me, and him this year too...
So, the older you get, the more the odds swing. So, be careful gambling.
All it takes is to wait just a little too long.
You might want to get with a financial adviser.

Unless you own a business or are extremely wealthy and have many investments, I've never understood paying someone to tell you how to handle your own money. Then again, I look at today's youth whining about loans THEY signed and understand it completely.

Strategy worked for you. But like any strategy they work until they don't. And yours seems like you are pushing all in every year. I would think everyone that faced a catastrophic bankrupting illness one day crossed the line from health costs being a non issue to a catastrophic one.

With the deductibles it's worth the "risk".

Especially when you know the economy is going to crash and burn. It's really weak to just give in and pay $400-$800 month for practically nothing.

The poverty line is so low on it that if you make north of 25k you're not getting a subsidy at all.

It's not fair. It's a disaster. I read comments of people supporting it and I just think these people have been conditioned to be dupes.

You're talking about catastrophic insurance. I would have no problem buying a catastrophic only policy. Used to have that, affordable monthly premiums with a high deductible (25,000). Can't get one anymore. Now every plan has to cover everything. Prescription drugs, birth control, wellness visits-that's why the costs are so high. I live in Mass. We have the highest premiums in the country. We've also had the mandatory insurance longer.

In liberal parlance . . . "pro choice" . . . I do not think it means what you think it means.

Believe me. I know what it means.

Since I have now been informed that this is a horse racing blog (I thought it was the political section ), who do you like for the Oaks? I'm hoping Dothraki Queen gets in. I really like her. I don't have any particular choice in the race. It would be kind of nice if Rachel's daughter won since Rachel won't be having anymore foals and it looks like her colt may be having soundness issues.
