How is it fair for someone earning $50k in a DC suburb, just getting by, to have to pay $800 a month for a craoot bronze plan when someone living in Alabama earning $45k, and living comfortably, gets the same subsidized coverage for $100 a month?

I sure hope you're not a Democrat, with your ridiculous non sequitur.

What does the form of our representation have to do with the fact that Obama rammed through a plan that made middle-income people pay $800 a month for a catastrophic plan worth $50 a month so that the lower-income people pay $50 or $100 for the same plan? This entire thing was just a  redistribute scheme from the straight middle class (earning $50kish) to the lower-middle class (earning $35kish) and the working class ($25k) WHEN MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE EARNING $50K CANNOT AFFORD TO SUBSIDIZE HEALTH INSURANXE FOR THOSE WHO EARN LESS. And that's what OBamacare did.

Next thing you know is that the Dems will have the middle class subsidize the illegals' health insurance. Just watch.

Most Accurate Comment of the Thread.

Thank you[/quote]
You're welcome.

And did you see the clueless liberal above who,responded by saying...."well, don't buy an ACA plan then." OMG. So I should just go without insurance because the AFFORDABLE (hah) Care Act inflated the premiums on insurance for the middle class to the point it's not affordable? [/quote]

You don't know what you are talking about. You should read more. [/quote]
I know more about it than you. I'm LIVING IT. What type of answer is it to say "well don't buy insurance then" when people report how they are being charged an unaffordable premium as a result of the Affordablr Care Act? All,of a sudden you don't care if people can't afford insurance? I bet you didn't tell low-income people who couldn't afford insurance "don't buy it then."

LIberals. sheesh.[/quote]
DP.. Rs didn't seem to care that millions couldn't afford insurance prior to ACA.  Obama tried to get everyone covered.  Some Rs refused to expand medicaid in their states.

Look at the red states that adopted the medicaid expansion.  Their people are a lot healthier now.  You think folks like ones in the article want to get rid of ACA and go back to what we had before?

Rural areas benefit most... you know.. the areas that supported Trump.  Ironic, no?

Ds didn't try to get everyone covered. They tried to get LOWER-income covered, even though premiums on Unsubsidized middle earners would skyrocket to the point they couldn't afford insurance.

And that's why the Ds will lose again. They care about those they see as "downtrodden" - poor people. Illegals, etc., - and a big F-U to the regular middle class working girl or guy. How many times have we heard liberals, when a middle earner (REAL middle earner....not DCUM middle earner) say she can't afford health insurance on her earnings of $50,000, be told to just get a better job? Why don't libs tell the low earners to get a better job?

Please take a moment in your rant about "Ds" and tell us how you think the "Rs" would help someone like you.  They would not.  With the Rs, you would have ...nothing at all.[/quote]
What do you mean I would have nothing at all? I would buy insurance that covered me for medical expenses, like I did before Obamacare. So would the millions of others who can no longer afford insurance under the Obamacare redistribution scheme.

And why not address what I said about Ds redistributing money from the middle class to the lower class to such an extreme that the middle class can't afford the $800 month premium and the lower class gets to pay $30? A big problem with Obamacare was that in Obama's desperation to get free or "cell phone" cost equivalent to the lower income, he devised a system that made (or permitted) insurance companies to skyrocket the costs on middle class people.

The entire problem is that TOO MUCH IN THE WAY OF SUBSIDIES were given to low income. Now I know Ds only care about low income, but the fact of the matter is that we just can't afford to let low income people making $35000, $45000 get away with paying $50 for health insurance while shifting the burden onto the middle earners. I know this will enrage all the bleeding-heart liberals, but the low-income will just have to cough up more money. I'd say $100 minimum/month for insurance (unless you're so poor you're on Medicaid) so that middle earners can get some relief from their suffocating insurance bills (on top of having to pay their own medical expenses on top of that).
