At age 64, if you earn $26,500, your insurance premium will be about $14,600 vs $1,700 on the ACA plan.

Republican plan: Don't get sick.

That's always been their plan. 60's is too old to be one of their low wage slaves so unless you are a member of the 1%, they would prefer you kick the bucket. Don't kid yourself, these people represent only the 1%.

Funny how all during the debate leading to Obamacare passage, the republicans were practically shouting that democrats wanted to limit senior access to health care. Basically wanting them to die. Now that they are in control, republicans are actually doing it.

The problem is that I know so many people who were not allowed to stay in their corporate jobs to age 65. Many were forced out mid-50s and they had become temps.

They were counting on the ACA to bridge the gap to 65.

They will be so screwed.

Talk about fake news. A blog that predicted Clinton would win the election. Now, why would I trust any prediction they make?

Do you think these people even buy healthcare. On the BBC, they show up to emergency room and get free service. One guy loves the fact that there is no mandate. Yes he voted for Trump. I feel sorry for the hospital.

Well she did win 3,000,000 more popular votes than the current President. Its hard to account for the vagaries that the electoral college may produce in this country.

I think this bit of news is unfortunately pretty accurate.

The premiums saved by cutting people out, will spent on prisons. Especially for the mentally ill and I really don't see anyone with dementia holding a job at Wal-Mart. It will be the land of "Walking Dead" and a new job for law enforcement. Trump is insane. So, the taxpayers will pay for new jails and law enforcement which means, more taxes at a state level and not on a federal level ( and lets not forget, the people that are pushed out of Medicaid and working, that still pay taxes without getting medical care)

Below is a "walker" from the "Waking Dead". The Walking Dead – AMC
