Nope. If I was in the position of paying that much for insurance, I'd be looking for ways to get out of that position instead of whining about it.

Probably why I'm not working a minimum wage job right now. I don't just wait around waiting for life to get better. I make it happen. Isn't that the conservative mantra?

Ok, he past is the past. There's nothing we can do to change the past.

Now, Republicans control all 3 branches. Should be a breeze to repeal ACA.

If the OP doesn't like to pay the full amount, shouldn't he be working harder to find a job that subsidizes his plan?

Life is about choices. And it sure ain't fair either. If you're smart, you deal with whatever life hits you. Or you can be like the OP and whine about it. You know, sort of like how people working minimum wage jobs whine about it instead of increasing their skills for better jobs?
omg, a lecture? I would think the deadbeats deserve the lecture. They're the reason we got this mess. yea, I was never a drag on society like they are, paid taxes all my life, not took a dime from government and life hits me with Obama and someone who wants to pass a bill to see whats in it.

Conveniently ignoring that bipartisan discussion took place for several months before the bill was passed....147 Republican amendments were incorporated in the final Senate bill.

As we all know. Obamacare passed without one republican vote, and it stays because Democrats would was determined to keep the law knowing full well it hurt people.

Joseph Cao, a REPUBLICAN, voted for the ACA, so nice try.

It doesn't matter. If Democrats think I'm going to pay $1,528 a MONTH, helping to keep this thing going they're out of their fricken minds.

Anyone who pays for this is helping to keep it in place.

The Dems fancy themselves to be Robin Hood.

But, look, the Repubs have the damn bird in their hand right now and they're just twidling with it. It is within their power to change the healthcare situation, right now, and they are blowing it!
