[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5511056, member: 58386"] If a person as a consenting adult chooses out of their own free will and volition NOT to buy health insurance then what difference does it make how beneficial Obamacare has or has not been? Obamacare 's sole objective was to give individuals improved opportunities to obtain health insurance at premiums they could better afford and to make insurers more accountable to their subscribers by making them actually pay claims. And today 20 million Americans have insurance they probably would not otherwise have. In addition the ACA provided states the opportunity to participate in the expanded Medicaid program. It provided low income adults and children with health insurance coverage at little to no cost. The individual state would not have to pay more than 10% of the cost. The governors of 12 states refused to joined the program Among them are Abbott in Texas and DeSantis in Florida. Denied poor families in their states from access to the program many at no cost, citing the reason for not joining as the cost to state taxpayer....Now guess who's providing Abbott's and DeSantis families with free healthcare? Those very same taxpayers. Oh indeed, it's perfectly ok to provide Abbott and DeSantis and their families with free healthcare.....but oh no, we can't do that for the that state's poorest residents. Harkens back to the same MAGA/GOP mantra....."if you're not rich....it's your fault!" [/QUOTE]
