Under ACA, if the same thing happened, what would be different since he couldnt afford his premiums

btw, wouldnt he have qualified for medicaid then? yes, yes he would..
What do you suggest?

But that's not what's been going on.

Not so far, at least.

I didnt change the subject, jojajn brought up the guy as an example of someone who would benefit from ACA.. I'm asking how..

furthermore, america ALWAYS new health insurance has costs.. who the hell suggested otherwise? If it has costs, then why did you support Obama when he said premiums would fall 3000%? Dont stand there and pretend that wasnt how it was sold to the public because you know dam well it was.

You're the one who used him as an example as to why we needed to screw over millions of americans in order to "fix" a problem, and I'm asking you how he would have benefited considering he wouldnt have been able to afford his premiums and would have lost insurance, thus leaving him with medical bills STILL..

And I supplied one. $12,500 for medical bills under a bronze plan is one helluva lot cheaper.

You are havent a ton of problems following along with the discussion, arent you?

Once again, he LOST ALL INCOME, thus wouldnt have been able to pay his premiums, thus would have LOST INSURANCE.

The $12,500 is bull crap because once again, HE LOST INSURANCE..

All but $12,500 would have, I suspect he could have swung that. And given the description re him personally I'd bet he could have afforded to pay the insurance premiums on a bronze plan.
