I've already laughed my ass off at you for posting these links NUMEROUS times but never responding to the retorts.
I refuse to believe that someone who claims to be self employed, believes that employees benefits are subsidies, granted only because of the kindness of the federal government.
No one can be that dumb.. NO ONE

The Democrats run around non stop broadcasting the 6-7 million signups they received while ignoring the millions who lost..
Math lesson, 6 million lose, + 6 million new = how many net gain?
And yes, the ultimate end will be more than 6 million, but for what we're spending, its a joke.

Going to UHC would be abandoning it, and many on that page, and YOU, have called for it to happen

You laugh your ass off a lot, but all your ass laughing it doesn't change the fact that employer based healthcare is subsidized.

Going to UHC would be another step forward. But for now, I'm perfectly happy to keep my private insurance until that happens. It sure is better than not having insurance. That's not abandoning anything, that's simply using what is available at the moment until UHC comes along.

No its not. Its a business expense, and all business expenses are treated equal. its no more a subsidy than McDonalds buying hamburger meat is..
If you're self employed, and you dont know that, then clearly something is wrong.

Like I said, you're all ready to abandon ACA.
You had a choice to go without insurance.. If you couldnt afford it, then maybe you need to re-examine the first paragraph above..

Insurance for the self-employed is NOT subsidized.
It is 100% deductible.......that is NOT the same thing.

She's been told that at least 1/2 a dozen times already. Everytime healthcare comes up she starts whining some bull crap that its as a result of some sort of subsidy..
she eventually stops responding, and then a few days later, posts the very same ridiculous thing again.
On purpose, of course. I feel sorry for those who are gullible enough to fall for this government crap trap. People will just be begging for help from an insurance company still in business.
Ah, I see. So when employees are offered employer health insurance they pay the full premium. Right?
Who? The employee? Of course not, its part of ones salary, and its tax exempt just like a self employed individual can claim them on Schedule A..
Being a tax deduction doesnt = a subsidy..
Did you even read the link I posted before you said something this dumb?
