SCOTUS rules: ACA subsidies apply to ALL states

[Jhhnn]

Jhhnn I assume you're pretty broke given how much time you spend on here, otherwise you'd be 66 years old and doing far more constructive things blathering on a message board hence my presumption that you take full advantage of these entitlement programs now being so generously offered

But who knows, it is the net after-all...and honestly I don't care much

Also funny how my stating that I now have to wait upwards of a year to see a doctor is "whining of the privileged" ...lol, if you don't like the message so sorry...but post ACA my wait times have gone considerably up and quality of care (if I can get any) considerably down...the offices seem more busy, professionals more stressed, and I am of the belief that less people will want to go into healthcare once pay starts getting restricted but who cares as long as everyone gets shitty coverage.

You presume wrong about me, but you obviously need to do that to maintain your world view of denial. I've become a bit of a homebody working on this ancient Victorian home which is fortunately held free & clear of encumbrances. The cars are the same & the credit cards get paid in full every month. Our overhead is low, our wants modest. The family qualified for a $17/mo ACA subsidy last year, which has to make me one of the greatest moochers of all time, huh?

In conservative reality, no librul has ever worked a day in their life, because they're all busy moocherin' and looterin' from real Murricans like the Duggars.

The fact that its one-size fits all bullshit that you end up having to pay for. If I wanted it, I would have bought it. Its a mandatory purchase. Its a shitty situation to be in.

You know when I said I was a male it asked if I was pregnant right? Thats the ACA for you.

Re: Medicare expansion, I'm also not keen on medicare being able to seize your estate. I don't plan on ever using it. I'm not going to be like Jhhhnn and leave my kids with nothing.

You are just saving face for the fact that you don't know statistically how they price insurance plans. What they've done under the ACA is quite a bit of redistribution of money. Its a hybrid system. Its not exactly government healthcare, but its also not exactly purely priced on statistics and risk anymore. As a male... I cannot get pregnant, but I must carry maternity coverage. Its a mess, IMO. Despite mental coverage being non-optional, from what I can tell, the price didn't come down. Even though the pool of healthy people for that type of insurance should have increased. Its pretty obvious the insurance companies are taking what they can get and sticking consumers with what they can get away with as well. Just look at their stocks. The ACA didn't fix healthcare.

Its ironic that states that are big champions of the ACA like California are also some of the most expensive healthcare systems. Its $390 there for an EKG and $74 in Maryland.

Yeh, it's all about you & what you think you need today, right? How's that fit with what you might need tomorrow & your desire to not be what you imagine me to be like?

Don't worry about that last part because you're not smart enough to be like me even if you're as lucky as I've been. Well, at least not smart enough to figure out that the ACA covers you through all of life's changing & unexpected circumstances in a way you'll always be able to afford. And, uhh, don't worry, because there'll likely be young right wing idiots raving about carrying your sorry old ass, just like you are. Whatever life dishes out down the road you won't go broke over medical bills. Well, maybe if you live in a state w/o medicaid expansion, the sort of stupidity you likely support wholeheartedly.

Ideological blinders are an impediment you'd do well to lose. They keep you from seeing what's right under your nose.

Funny you mention denial yet your very quick to dismiss my experience of healthcare in America, brushing it off as what did you say, whining of the privileged. ...all the while humblebragging about your good fortune to have worked for the same company for a long time, living a modest life as you say "free and clear"

Again, I truly don't care about your situation, in the great spirit of Americana I only care about mine and am just here sharing my experiences...and from what I have seen, quality and services have declined.

As a side, You're 66, I'd sincerely hope you're mortgage is paid off and your finances in proper order and at this stage of your life you are living modestly...and as you said you qualified for a subsidy, I know I would not. And doing things like paying cars and credit cards off regularly/quickly isn't something to brag about IMHO as that should be a given.

Luckily you're here to tell people the individual aspects of their lives that you approve of. Thanks for that.

Yes, it's obvious that you only care about yourself. It's a common feature of Right-think, no doubt.

last I checked it was the American way...regardless you still get a subsidy which means you're still a mooch
