OK, but  she has $12,000. What about the working class couple making $70,000, who can no longer cover their bills now that they have to pay $15,000 in premiums and now can't afford insurance. There are plenty of stories like that too.

The point is that Obama was so eager to give free health insurance to the working poor through expanded Medicaid and cost-sharing subsidies that he caused a lot of lower-middle class people to lose the ability to pay for their own skyrocketing insurance. THEY are the ones who have become the uninsured. There is something wrong with liberal socialist policies when poor people get better care - for free - at the expense of moderate earners who can't afford it for themselves. [/quote]
Again, working class couple making $70K with two kids would get subsidies, and their premium cannot be more than 9.69% of their income. So your $12K premium on an income of $70K example is completely made up.

Honestly, I will say that I didn't know this fact until I did some research. I don't think most people know about the part where the premiums cannot be more than a certain % for most middle class families.[/quote]
