That doesn't solve the problem and you are saying there should be no independent contractors or self employed people if they cannot afford expensive individual insurance. So we are slaves to certain companies, and stuck in jobs because this country decades back stupidly got employers mixed up with our health care, and stayed with that ridiculous system.
Oh, please. With the strong job market (AS WE ARE NOT IN THANKS TO TRUMP), you can change jobs. That was just another BS line Obama used to try to sell this monstrosity.
Correction: Thank your fellow taxpayers. I, and many others, are paying for your insurance, not Obama.
I don't mind helping out the less fortunate, but they should at least acknowledge that their fellow Americans are footing the bill. It's ironic that people vilify the "rich" for not paying their "fair" share of taxes while simultaneously reaping the benefits of the fact that the rich pay far, far more than their fair share.
And I've posted in other threads that I think that the three reasons that rise above others as to why he ran (in no particular order of significance) are:
1. To 'ruffle Obama's feathers' a bit as payback for making fun of him at the 2011 White House Correspondent's Dinner.
2. To make his brand more prominent.
3. To be able to say (thinking he would lose) that "the system is rigged" until he takes his last breath.
That's total crap. There is a video circulating as far back as the 80's about how he thought we needed to fix the mess these politicians created in this country. He is saying all the same stuff he says now.
You are completely wrong. It's not BILLIONAIRES who are being taxed into oblivion with the ACA. There was a slew of new taxes, one of the highest in history on people making over $250k. Last I checked, no one making $250k was a billionaire.
AND to correct you on another lie you spread, the Trump tax cuts were NOT a giveaway to the rich. Higher earners are going to get socked in the gut, especially those in blue states.
And what I wrote is that billionaires, and multimillionaires can be the only one's confident to say they're paying more taxes than they're using. You on the other hand (unless you're a multimillionaire etc) cannot say for sure that you're not using some government program more than you're paying into it.
You just don't like paying taxes, but get over it.
Not sure where you got the idea I am in ACA. We have insurance through work.
Insurance from work is ACA compliant. Such as requiring free preventative check ups and allowing <26 on parent's plan and plan not having pre-existing conditions restrictions.
I guess this is tough for many to believe, but I had insurance prior to BO being elected. I managed without BO and the ACA. One could get by without BO being their Mom.
My aunt had private insurance pre-ACA and got kicked off her policy in the middle of the year after she got lung cancer and huge claims. She died. Had ACA been in-effect, it's possible she might have lived. Getting kicked off insurance in the middle of lung cancer treatment caused her to miss many treatments and also have severe financial hardship due solely to the insurance company kicking her off the policy AND refusing to pay the large claims which occurred while the policy was still active.

Is it possible to sue that insurance company following her death? What a disgusting corporation.
Who said that 24 million people will die if the ACA is repealed? Link? Source?Link? Source?
I'm not going to do you this favor and waste my time on some exhaustive search. There's a search button on top, use it.
