I make a little bit too much to qualify for the subsidies, but not enough to comfortably afford the coverage (unless they let me skip paying my taxes,
)
I'm not sick on a day-to-day basis, as long as I take my meds and watch what I eat I'm actually pretty normal
But all you have to do is mention "diabetes" when shopping for health insurance and you can watch the rates triple.
Just the fact that they have to give subsidies to people making less that $44k tells you how overpriced insurance is in this country, and now we're being coerced into buying it against our will, sad day for the USA.
Kane I've always considered you to be one of the more rational, intelligent posters on this board, and by your posts I can see that you have reservations about this bill that was passed.
But tell me, did you see what I saw when this bill passed with 60% of the American people opposing it?
Did you see the transformation of congress and the president from "Servants of the People" into "The Ruling Class" who know what's best for us?
That's what I saw, and it worries me more than anything else
