Not everyone qualifying for expanded Medicaid. If they do get subsidies they first have to shell out the money for several months before getting the subsidies next year.

Most republican states didn't expand Medicaid leaving a huge donut hole between those who are at or below the poverty level and working families just above the poverty level. Those are the people who represent the most Obamacare horror stories.

They would all qualify for a subsidy (not Medicaid). None are wealthy. But I'm sure they are not the only Obamacare supporters who talk big and bad but won't step up and start paying.

Forbes has a couple of good articles that talk about the difficulty for families to go from paying for no insurance to 12 months of insurance, and the penalties/subsidy claw backs that may take many people by surprise next year.

I'm not even worried about it because I don't eat garbage food, and I make sure that I don't put myself in a position to be touching someone elses nasty germs.

You go worry about yourself, my health is perfectly fine.

I hope you stay in perfect health forever.
Same here......or so I thought. Spent the last 30 years eating 9 grain dirt bread, chicken, fish and salad. Had a perfect physical with EKG. Got a funny feeling in my chest less than a month later. Told my Doctor. He ordered a stress test. I thought I'd lose an hour of work for the test and be back on the job that afternoon. 30 sec. into the test they put me on a gurney and wheeled me into a catheter lab for an angiogram.
Flat lined on the operating table. They inserted balloons in my ventricles and put me on a special machine to keep me alive and helo lifted me to St. Joe's Hospital, 135 miles away.
Woke up with a quintuple bypass. All just because of a light, airy feeling in my chest.
Total cost, 372,000.00
It happens suddenly. It happens fast, and once it does, you're just along for the ride, destination unknown.
Without insurance,(BCBS) I would have lost everything and you would be paying my hospital bill. As it was, I was on bread and water for about 3 years, figuratively speaking, until I paid off my co-pays and deductibles.

Just sayin...........

Haha.. they are WITHOUT health insurance, do you think these freeloaders object to free treatment?

After reading your posts for the last 6 years I know that you feel the nation went to the dogs when FDR created the new deal, Social security, the federal reserve was formed and our dollar was detached from the gold standard. Every tax is illegal and the government has been in violation of the constitution since the income tax was instituted.
I know you don't pay into Social Security and don't believe in any social safety nets for anybody and all taxation is illegal.
That's your agenda as I've see it over time.

So your response is not unexpected.

How does this relate to what I said, or the thread?

Is the best you can do to dispute what I said was to attack me using made up crap? Bravo, your posting is ****.. call home and tell mommy you went to the bathroom today..
