The Supreme Court is back at it again.

Those in favor of ending ACA subsidies ("unconstitutional"), let's hear your reasons for making health care less affordable for people who need it.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity . . . . What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving . . . . The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else . . . .. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation . . . .You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

the ACA is anything BUT affordable. someone has to pay for those subsidies. also note that health insurance reform didnt need a huge bloated bureaucracy to make things better cost wise.

Healthcare isn't cheaper because of someone else paying the bill.

First you have to believe that the PPACA affordable care act is affordable.

A stunted thought process can only assume the affordable care act is the only way to make healthcare affordable.

How did you spend the 2,500k Obama siad he would save you?

Affordable???? Costs of Obamacare exponentially exceeded projections used to get it approved.

Why do the dems, who never read or understood obamacare, before they approved it or after, want to make healthcare unaffordable thru obamacare? Why didn't the dems support an affordable health insurance bill that included a healthcare element?

Well, obviously the right-wing is trying to legislate the poor into further destitution.

It was already ruled constitutional. Please address the question.

Subsidies given by the Federal government don't come out of anyone's pay check. It subsidizes corporations all the time, where are your complaints?

I need gas for my car. Should I be entitled to a subsidy? Will you willingly fund the cost?

It all went to increased co-pays and OOP expenses and fees.

Eight hundred alone for my son's broken leg ("surgical" fee, even though there wasn't surgery. Perfectly acceptable under the ACA.
