[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4095268, member: 60252"] You were given a choice- buy insurance and pay lower taxes, or don't pay insurance and face a higher tax bill. And few people even faced that choice. The well off were smart, and knew they needed insurance to protect their financial health. The poor up to $22k income for a single person got full coverage with no costs. Those not eligible for subsidies had enough income to afford insurance and if smart, had it. If you premium is more than 10% of your income, you were exempt from the penalty. If you were one of those who paid the penalty, I think it meant that you were too stupid to know whats good for you, and that you are irresponsible. And because 80% of the population gets coverage through work, social security, medicare, medicaid, or the VA, only a tiny percentage of even the stupid and irresponsible were subject. You apparently want to pay for those too stupid or irresponsible to provide them care if needed, but absolutely hate those who can't provide themselves with enough food. Those without insurance make those with insurance pay more. Doctors and hospitals raise your costs to cover losses from the uninsured. That is a form of tax. Too bad you can't see the forest for the trees because FOX convinced you that having a healthier population that will cost less in the future when chronic issues are treated early is a bad thing. Crybabies like Trump followers just whine that a few irresponsible people will need to pay their share and think it is a loss of freedom. Making others pay for their needs is taking 'freedom' away from the rest, since you equate 'freedom' with a requirement that you pay your own way if possible. [/QUOTE]
