They want to take away people's healthcare.

Why should they have sympathy for Republican voters who may have a health condition, in northwest NJ, rural MO, NY, etc and other heartland America?

They'll say that.

No, even though they know the truth upsets Republicans, they'll say it.

They'll say the man Republicans put in the White House promised time after time after time he'd put a 'far better than the ACA' plan in place soon after taking office.

They'll also say he's utterly failed to deliver.

I won't either because I refuse to join the Obamacare scam. It's much cheaper for me to pay the penalty and self-pay for my ailments.
$775 a month? Have the rates gone down? I'm assuming you got that through the Affordable Healthcare Marketplace.

I don't know of any hospitals that will cure your cancer for free. They don't do that in the ER.

In fact, I remember reading a story by a man who was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and was told he needed to deposit $30,000 up front to be treated.

Luckily, Obama passed the ACA, and he was able to get treated. The point of his story was that he believes he would have died without the ACA.

People can and do, in fact, die without health insurance in the US.

For millions of Americans in their early adult decades, forgoing ACA is prudent. If they jump in, they are subsidizing older Americans. Its simply a form of a Robin Hood mindset of shifting income from one group to another.

And here's the wonderful part of Obamacare, you pay 100-200$ penalty and you still dont have insurance, Lol


And these 7-13k deductibles with high premiums, LOl. What happened to premiums under $100 Obama was campaigning on? Lol what a joke!

Put me on a payment plan, I won't pay. But that's another argument as to why I'm opted out of the ACA.

This is what happens when you start believing your own propaganda.

You won't get your cancer cured for free. Doesn't work that way.

It's pretty amazing to watch people who pay to get absolutely nothing in return and think they're cleverly beating the system.
