    I'm finally realizing the joys of obamacare. My wife makes just barely enough that we cant get government assistance but we dont make enough to pay bills and feed family, i cant wait to pay the tax penalties next year for not having insurance i cant afford! Thanks obama! Way to look out for the middle class!

    What's that you say? Trump dismantled the penalties? But i thought he only helped the rich? Hmmmmm....

    How much is health insurance? I have no fucking idea work pays for it, or I guess I do indirectly. They were paying their bills for the employees and were paying our Healthnet Premium and my boss goes "wow, you sure are expensive". lol

    Obamacare forced you tu buy insurance or pay tax penalties. So when you lose your job like me you not only lose your insurance, but you lose tax money too. Trump in his wisdom has repealed that mandate and thus helped the poor to middle class who are between jobs by not fining them while they have no fucking income.

    Yup and my insurance. Thus trump saved me money next year on tax penalties. Now if my kids could get medicaid id be ok, i dont personally need insurance, i never go to the doctor even when i have it cause hospitals double bill people with insurance and you end up paying as much as someone without insurance until your deductible is met. Basically the only way insurance helps is if you use the fuck out of it. If you have it for emergencies it saves you nothing on your bill and costs you money every month.

    No not if you are white. Get with the times bro. Our privilege is enough to carry us through life we dont get government handouts on top of it that'd be unfair.

    Personal isnt bad. Family plans costs enough to cover a small mortgage.

    man are you ever out of touch with rural America....you can apply for insurance in the marketplace or not...it's your choice..nothin' to do with ethnicity at all..I lost my benefits when my career ended...next day applied for insurance...yeah, it's a bill...but I don't have cable TV bills or other shit...it's your value system..your unemployment doesn't stop your life unless you let it ...here anybody uninsured can go to the health clinic ...it's dumb to go to a hospital for non emergencies..

    Yeah pretty much every small family I know says they can’t afford Obamacare care because it’s like 1,200 a month.

    I’m single so I’m good lol.

    We went from making 8k and month to ~2k. We were told we made $90 too much a month to be considered for assistance. We moved into moms house, i cut off cable and internet, i rented my house to pay the mortgage. But there are still debts to pay. Ya, i regret getting into debt now but when we made 4x the money it wasnt scary. So now my choice is to buy insurance and food and sacrifice my credit by turning in our vehicles, or pay our bills so when we do land work we can get there. Rice a beans baby. It doesnt bother me really, i can live poor and frugal, i just hate telling my kids to eat the same boring cheap meal.

    This thread was about how on top of all the hardships, if i failed to find employment that offers insurance i was going to fined by the bullshit obama put in office. That shit is like $200 a month fine. So apparently fining people who cant afford something helps them afford it.

    Im glad trump is a real american and getting shit done.

    This is literally the dumbest most uninformed thread on obamacare ever. Clueless take. Truly.

    If you say the sentence:

    "Can't afford obamacare"

    you're utterly clueless on the issue.
