buy private plans through healthcare.gov. All healthcare is private

coverage at a cheaper price.

I don't get the $1400 per month bill unless you have a really low deductible.

And I'm with you.

That would be yuuuugggge! If you make a decent living and you are over 50--good luck affording health insurance.

She's also on top of the prescription drug ripoff.

I could afford to pay a lot more taxes if I didn't have to pay as much for health care plan. But we are not going to get to that. Hillary will consult her newly appointed Fed Chairman Mr. Trump, who will recommend printing more US currency. "Look Hillary, it's sooooo easy. Why didn't we do this sooner? Obama is retarded."

Been there done that. If you are a couple that makes over $63,500 and you are over 50, 55--like I said--good luck. You are at $1,300 for a decent policy. Oh and that is with a large deductible. You can easily spend $20k per year for health care.

Hil-liar-y is all talk and no action. She will say anything to get elected.

There is a medicare tax. That will have to go up to support the 50-55+ healthcare costs.


Where did you think the money came from?

Is healthcare.gov just as good as all the individual state exchanges, or not ?
Only 14 states have exchanges.

We have a $6000 deductible each and no drug coverage if we get sick for our $1400 a month premium.
