It's really the big corporations that are unaffected as there's nothing they need to do or pay that they aren't doing already. And unions, with their cadillac plans, are exempt for now.

Easy for you to dismiss it as a "feel good" measure. It's the only way I will be able to get healthcare insurance, so, whatever.

And you don't care who has to pay for it either, even if it puts small business out of business.
What's so "fair" about that ?

That is the most ignorant reply that has ever been made to me on CD forums. Yes, oddly enough I do care enough about my own life to try to stay alive. Yes, that is a priority for me more than the ventures of some business. I will pay for it, myself. I am happy to pay whatever is required for my own healthcare insurance, as long as some company is forced to sell it to me. Do you not understand this? Under the current system, health care companies can refuse to sell you healthcare insurance at any price. All I want is the right to purchase health insurance like other people do, and be ripped-off as much as everyone else is, that's what so "fair" about it.

It's subsidized by other people via increased premiums, fees, and penalties. What do YOU not understand about this ?

Obamacare did more than just eliminate high risk refusals.

Yeah, whatever. And for this reason I am not going to purchase healthcare insurance? The last time I did pay, I paid about $900 a month, for a single person. So, don't worry. I'm sure I will be paying my fair share of healthcare premiums. Sorry, I'm not willing to dive on the sword for you.

Typical "I got mine" response.

How dare you care about yourself? I mean, really.

While most of these right -wing whiners are spending our Medicare, disability, and unemployment dollars.

It's laughable really.
