"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."Quote from DHOHHI:
Actually failed-trader may be one of the many who will get most of their premiums, co-pays and deductibles paid for by other taxpayers. Some people will see this as a windfall financial gain ... they don't make all that much $$$ so they'll get subsidies for not only their premiums but also can see their deductible reduced from $12,700 to $4500. Heck, people who will get most of their health care paid for by others will gloat and say how great it is.

Quote from Maverick74:
NO, it is NOT. See, this is the fucking problem with this country. We have 99% of the public blind, deaf and stupid. Obama Care is not healthcare for the poor. Medicaid is healthcare for the poor. Obama Care applies to ALL people because they mandated that ALL Americans have to participate. There really should be an IQ test to vote.
Quote from DHOHHI:
You answered Maverick's question .. you know nothing about Odumbocare.
You say it's for the poor? Is 400% of the poverty level considered poor? Not in my book.
Anyone earning up to 400% of the poverty line will be eligible for a subsidy, which is up to $45,960 for an individual and $94,200 for a family of four.
So a family with just under $100K in income is poor? And a single person making about $45K is poor?
You sound like both a failed trader and a failure as a human being.
Quote from Lucrum:
You might want to actually look at some European health care systems before commenting. And by look I don't mean simply repeating what you heard on MSNBC.

Quote from failed_trad3r:
You are missing the point. ObamaCare is a money solution, not a quality solution.
Thats why Americans will come to LOVE it.
Im pretty sure quality will degenerate on average.
Quote from clacy:
You're missing the point. Now not only will poor people be priced out of the health insurance market, but the middle class will be squezed out too.
It's no different than Obamanomics. He claims to want to help the little guy, but real median incomes and real net worths are down significantly under Obama for all groups but the wealthy.
Only about 10-15% of that bill is worth keeping. The rest will lower quality and raise costs.
