Then it's more important than ever that we work together to get Medicare for All passed. No one should not be able to afford health care. It's a basic human right.
This is only possible with manditory payment into the system.
We can't even accept a smaller penalty for no enrollment much less manditory enrollment....
The only way to do that is go after the lobbyist who line those people with money. That won’t happen.
We're halfway there with the House. It might not happen this year, but I believe it will soon. It's time we came into the 21st century with the rest of the world on healthcare. It's a disgrace that we haven't yet.
I'm ungrateful for the unaffordable and I don't care act...premiums for wife and I were about $1800/month so we went with Medishare for $350/month.
To be fair, The Unaffordable and I don't Care Act elected more Republicans than any event in history including our Great President Trump...and for that, I am grateful.
Yep, my democrat liberal SIL voted for Trump just because of OC. Doesn’t take long to recognize the BS of socialism once you are on the paying side of it.
an update: The Obamacare tax penalty isn't dead yet
"The penalty won't go away until 2019, and that means you still will owe Uncle Sam if you didn't have health insurance — or an exemption from the mandate — in 2017. The same holds true for this year."
See my post right before the one you quoted in your reply above ^^^^^. In that previous post I pointed out what you are pointing out above.
Then it's more important than ever that we work together to get Medicare for All passed. No one should not be able to afford health care. It's a basic human right.
If it were a basic human right, it would have existed before it was invented. Ask all other species if food, clothing, shelter and healthcare are rights.
Just wanted to say that I am very thankful for it.
I had great health insurance for 25 years through my employer. After I moved to a different state and got a new job that couldn't offer me health insurance because of geographic limitations, my only affordable option was to enroll in an ACA plan. It worked out great for me. I make 17/hour and my monthly premium is under $1.00. The deductible is high ($8,000), but regular yearly doctor visits and mammograms are covered, and generic prescriptions are fairly reasonable.
You make $35,360 a year and you think you are getting a great deal with an $8,000 deductible?
It has nothing to do with an employer. This is how insurance works. We pay for the uninsured.
It has everything to do with the employer.
If this ****-****** is too cheap to pay for insurance, he shouldn't be allowed to make money off her labor.

Most people wouldn't describe under $1.00 as being 'way more' than zero.
