If you can afford the coverage without a "subsidy" fine. But if you receive a subsidy, regardless of the $2500 promise or *whatever*, you're getting a government handout.

I would not accept any government hand out because I am better than that, and I don't want to have the government CONTROL my health care. That is, if I were to purchase health insurance, which I won't. Ever.

I can afford my coverage just as I have for years now, I just don't feel I should be forced to pay for coverage for millions of other people in the form of subsidies. The American tax payers like myself were promised that our insurance costs would go down as a result of the ACA and I want to know when we'll see that.
