oh give it a break. When you write like that it makes you sound like a little baby, oh woo is me, po po me.

Wait until the tax payer has to bail out the insurance companies. Talk about subsidizing corporations.

It has already been reported in the news that the insurance companys will be inflicting massive rate increases next year because more people are requiring subsidies than those that don't. This was written into Obamacare as an "escape hatch". Also, the government is looking to create a bailout package to the insurance companies so that they don't all go out of business. They are being bled dry by leeches who are not paying the going rate for their coverage. Too many unhealthy people are demanding treatment. That is not how insurance works.

Most New Obamacare Enrollees Get Subsidies


Of course. What else do you think it's for?

Once it's fully established, handing out cash to most people in the country, do you think a majority will EVER vote against it, or against the people who push it?

Obamacare is principally a wealth-transfer program, not a health care program. It merely uses health care as its excuse, to hand out money to voters.

Just who is going to pay for all these subsidies? If I had to venture a guess I would say the hardworking honest taxpayers. Sadly there are fewer and fewer of those around that don't already get a handout from the Gov. in one form or another. Maybe China will help us out?

Can you explain who you think gets subsidies for being rich?

So people who lack both employer provided coverage and higher paying jobs cannot afford to purchase coverage without a subsidy?
