Tell me, what should I like about the ACA? Why should I care?
No tax break, Brewer? Or is that WITH a tax break? I HIGHLY recommend working with a local third party to get the best deal rather then trying to shop yourself. I did this and it was extremely helpful. He pulled strings for us that I didn't know existed. Because of that, we have a good plan through fidelis with a low deductible that covers RX (like $10.00 copay for generics) and MD visits. Just a thought!
Some folks with an ideological bent against the ACA decided not to avail themselves of all the services offered...not to get the assistance of someone who knew what that was..and now they think that their predicament is somehow the fault of the ACA. Not saying that's Brewer...just something I noticed.
The "I can't afford health insurance now!" crowd, for example. If that were true, they'd qualify for subsidy. If they don;t qualify for subsidy, it's not an issue of "can't pay"...it's an issue of "I'd rather not pay". Well ofc they;d rather not pay, we;d all rather not pay...we;d all like to live beyond our means and bitch about the evil healthcare plan that ruined our irresponsible spending fantasies. When I say "we" I mean you unlucky fuckers who don't have a free ride. I get to spend all my healthcare money on hookers and blow. Murica!
