    I was paying a little more than $1100 a month to cover my husband and I through the SAG-AFTRA health plan. Now, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, we are only paying $161 a month total! For both of us! Obama came out in support of my marriage, ended DADT, caught Bin Laddn, ended war in Iraq, and got me affordable health insurance! Best. President. Ever.

    Glad to hear you are pleased. My company dropped my wife and I due to the tax levied on self insured employers. I have to figure that was the intent of the tax.
    Damn! Worked 40 years for that too. Shazam! all gone by the work of a President who supports you and some one else.

    Seems to me you are perhaps pointing fingers in the wrong direction. Your company didn't have to drop you. They chose to, of their own free will.

    Doesn't sound like your company supports you

    That can't make you feel good

    So you're the one! Bragging about receiving subsidies seems a bit odd to me, but to each their own. I assume you and your husband file your taxes jointly? Or, are you gaming the system by having you be the primary, and taking away needed money from those less fortunate than you. Seems a bit messed up that a guy who can afford to follow the Blazers around the country also qualifies for federal subsidies, not only for himself, but also for his wealthy spouse. :dunno:

    His boss probably read his views against paying even a minimum wage for ranchhands, and figured he'd understand.

    No reason to pay him any more than wetbacks get.

    Of course they did, hardly any other way to avoid the new tax.
    But then why else would the tax be imposed? Surely no one expected it to produce revenue.

    I expected it. The new tax was ridiculous. When Obama said, " If you like your health care, you can keep your health care" I knew he was a lying ass. The new tax was intended
    to end the benefit.

    So, you're cool with me subsidizing your healthcare?

    Why not? It seems Marzul's greedy company cut him off over 160 bucks or so.Damn businesses always screwing people over for mere peanuts.
    I can't imagine it was really thousands of dollars that are supposed to cover Kingspeed's windfall. No way, right?

    Then again, if Obama were a chef at a vegas buffet and replaced everyone's favorite foods with only MY favorites I'd probably like him too.
