    Bullshit. How do you know any of those people in that picture are corrupt? Because VOX told you?

    Give me a break. People like the rioters see success and MONEY as corruption; they don't look at possible crimes or underhand deals.

    Literally no reason why I should be forced to have health insurance.
    Car insurance I understand I drive daily. Last time I went to the doctor was March of 2015, can't afford the premium + copay to go see the doctor now.
    I'm a pretty healthy guy even though I've had a rib dislocated for a long ass time now.
    But I'm obeying the law and paying the premium to avoid the fine when I do my taxes.
    Going to school, working two jobs. I'm far from a bum. Yet I'm going to have to pick between a fine when I do my taxes that could be insane..., car insurance or moving in with my grandparents to avoid rent.
    Wonder which one I'll be forced to do if I want to avoid the fine when I do my taxes?
    Anyone care to take a guess?

    Mandatory Obamacare must die. It's about the only thing I agreed with Trump on.

    Then earn it. My father had no college education and was arrested for cocaine posession in the late 80s. Once he got out of rehab, he worked on a production line making below minimum wage.

    Since then, he's been the President of two companies, and the Vice President of another. He has a patent, and he's a 12-time Salesman of the Year and 3 time President's Club member with two companies. Just as a salesman.

    He NEVER took a handout, and he was never on welfare.

    He owns 3 houses and will retire a millionaire in 3 years.

    Don't tell me it can't be done. When your only aspirations are McDonalds as a burger flipper, then you have only yourself to blame.

    So more taxes.

    And how does that work out when you're healthy and rarely need the doctor?

    Wait what? You're calling someone out you don't even know? Prove they don't work hard, otherwise it's all hearsay, and YOU can continue to believe the bullshit liberal talking point.

    While those salaries seem bloated (consider what Dame makes for playing basketball), they aren't a significant cause of high premiums. I looked up United Healthcare and they have 200,000 employees. The company's earnings from premiums are around $32 billion a year and total income is about $41.5 billion. Payouts for medical services are $25.6 billion. Net income after other expenses, net profits are about $3 billion. The $66 mil for Hemsley is bloated, by it's a drop in the bucket overall.

    This. I can't afford more taxes. My fucking rent just went up from $670 to $915 a month. No thanks; keep your tax hikes to yourself.

    Stephen Hemsley and his rich buddies are RAPING you but blame the black guy who made it so

    There are no lifetime or yearly caps on care.
    Preexisting conditions are obselete.
    Your kids can stay on till they're 26.
    Insurance companies MUST put 85% of your premium goes toward care.
    Copays for preventative care is eliminated.

    you're venting at nothing....nobody told you success was impossible...you keep being divisive about social demographics but honestly...you're shouting at people that have done nothing to cause you distress....try talking about processes and solutions....not getting stuck in the problems

    As a nation we would save money.

    And being healthy works out great for everyone, not sure of the problem there.

    No. I won't consider what Dame is making. And neither should you. You're comparing apples to cinder blocks.

    It's a sliding scale until you get to the max. For a couple that's a household adjusted gross income of around $63K. Make $1 over the max and you get zero subsidy. Our cost for a silver plan is about $1,600 a month. That's double what we paid before Obamacare, but hey, we get a "free" annual physical.
