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]

Yup. They are all about "empathy."[/quote]

You can have empathy for someone and still point out when they make inaccurate statements.

Except that the statement wasn't inaccurate. As a result of Obamcare, middle-income earners are paying "gold-level" prices for what is essentially a catastrophic plan. NOW I get why Obama  disallowed true catastrophic plans under his scheme: if he allowed them, what person would pay the inflated prices for a bronze plan when they could get the same coverage (or lack thereof) with a cheap actual catastrophic plan? Middle earners would have bought that plan, and then the insurance companies couldn't have overinflated their bronze premiums to cover the added expense of the excellent coverage, at $50 a month, that low income got. Obama had to FORCE middle earners to buy the inflated product (which is why he had the penalty in there, in addition to killing the option for a true catastrophic plan). [/quote]
