Well, that is for one persons costs. And yes, that is my personal issue and I wouldn't wish on anyone these sort of expenses but there are a lot of people paying crazy amounts like this and more.

And I don't need anyone's sympathy or pity, I can afford the expenses -- you can't make any money if you are dead -- this is the way I look at this.

When someone is bitching about some relatively minor amount that keeps them from making a payment on a newer car or something -- like the example of the 30ish woman making $80K a year and squawking about having to pay more ($160/a month) to upgrade her limited healthcare insurance to the minimum standards required by law now -- I could give a flying fuck.

I would react differently if she was a single mother of 2 making $22K a year working her ass off to get by.

Truth is the top 10% can afford this added burden of the new ACA (Obamacare) legislation and I hope you are one of them too, and if you are not, I guess some of us will get stuck with the costs of your subsidy -- I can deal with that. The costs of sickness that can be avoided are a giant drag on the economy and as big of a waste as some of these mindless wars we have -- in the end we should all benefit.

I am going to spend $60K to $100K over the next 7 years until I will get Medicare, I am an old fuck -- then the Medicare supplemental insurances and copays may cost me $thousands per year until I am dead -- I can deal with that.

But I am still in favor of the concept of universal health care because if I could have afforded reasonable health insurance from when I was 25-years-old (I struggled too -- what I have I have made myself) maybe today I would not have so many medical issues -- fuck the money.

For reason of this Obamacare law I could get insurance with a pre-existing condition because of a federally funded program from the feds to the state. My contribution was just $652.00 a month for one person and I was more than happy to pay that then end up dead.

Man up and quit your bitching ... I am glad of your health and your family's I would wish it to continue to be so.
