I had too many clients in 2015 get slammed with the Former 8962 Premium Tax Credit paying a lot in what I deem miscalculated monthly premiums. It's as if people were sold a bill of goods about reduced monthly premiums and didn't have a grasp on what would happen at tax time.

Not a fan of Obamacare in its current iteration.

LOL I didn't open this thread. It seems a moderator erase the original post but kept the title and now it looks like I opened this crap. I was saying "no thank you" to "vote for Trump to repeal obamacare" .

This was the original post

Maybe, just maybe, they should have actually READ THE BILL to find out what was in it, before they passed the POS..

Besides, even Italians have far bigger vacations than Americans. Italians would be shocked at the near absence of vacation time in America.
Americans have much stronger work ethics. This is why our economy is doing much better than everywhere else. I have been to Italy, France, Austria, England, Scotland. I know the standard of living is much lower than USA.

So I wish people who were not in these situations would stop whining about Obamacare and begin looking at the real problem. Insurance companies raise premiums because they can. I always knew Obamacare would fail because we need to get for-profit companies out of our health care system.
In California, if you are denied insurance, there is a high risk pool. Slightly expensive, maybe $1000 per month, pre-Obama care.
