    Christmas spirit = liberalism. It's when conservatives temporarily pretend to be empathetic toward others. In your case, liberals are your only friends.

    So glad Im not being robbed of my tax returns anymore! Fuck Obamacare, fuck all the lazy fucks who answered their phones, and fuck all the wealthy liberals who kept telling me that it was great for me and I just didn't understand how it works.

    I guess I should have moved my entire family into a studio apartment in order to afford shitty overpriced health insurance, it would have been the right thing to do.

    Someone gets it! When it first came into being i got lucky and got health insurance 1 month before the fine hit. But even though it was no longer raping my ass hole i knew it wasnt right. I felt so bad for the thousands who couldnt afford the over priced plans and thus lost their tax returns. And liberals claim to be for the middle class. Liberals are for the upper middle class. The trustafarians who make 100k a year off their parents investments.

    So when those who don’t have health insurance (for whatever reason) have a major medical emergency, no worries. All they have to do is claim bankruptcy if they can’t pay the bill. Then I’ll bet you’ll have absolutely NO problem with “wealthy liberals” paying that bill (which they will, one way or another). That’ll show those darn liberals for fucking with you. Hey, who needs to take personal responsibility when you can walk away from your mess without repercussions ......AND stick it to the liberals at the same time. And yet conservatives blather constantly about liberals feeling self entitled..........Just to make it clear for those who might have slept through it, liberals didn’t just pass a huge basket of tax breaks for the wealthy, conservatives did that. And all the “fake news” rhetoric in the world isn’t going to change that. Let’s exchange views a full year from now and see where we both stand.......should be interesting.

    Fining people who cant afford insurance does not make you a saint. May as well just make poor people wear a star of david so you can round them up for the oven faster

    Just a thought here....do you really have time to argue about this shit given your circumstance?....non of my business but the mandatory insurance laws are gone now....that's not a reason to victimize yourself...you made 8k a month...you didn't just get screwed by somebody...you didn't plan well ...now you should know

    I think he said, "we went from 8k a month to ~2k a month." I took that as meaning him and his wife. Now, they live off of her 2k each month. So, he was earning close to 6k a month. By the way, what happened to your job @rasheedfan2005 ? Were you fired or let go?

    Or just dont go. Or self insure with all the thousands you save from not paying fines. Or apply salty snowflake tears to your wounds liberally.

    I love arguing about Obamacare. It's awesome. Someone is paying for a poor person to go to the hospital one way or the other. Instead of just paying the bill we feel that a middleman (insurance company) is a better idea. Such a boring and tired discussion because it all boils down to money from someone somewhere.

    Har dee har har...herp a derp.

    This post is like reading Grampa Simpson trying to write fortune cookies.

    when someone has kids and loses their job...do you really think they'll turn down social services because of politics? I've never watched the Simpsons so don't get the comparison

    So, you'd be ok with being obligated to pay for health insurance, but you are not ok with having the choice of paying for health insurance, or paying a fine?

    Sounds completely rational, all right.

    Nope. Someone is still paying for it.

    Grandpa Simpson is senile and mumbles randomly.

    If the goal was to force everyone to pay why not go ahead and provide health care too. It was just a money grab and it was a stupid policy.
