WTF am I supposed to do? Health Insurance...
Posted on 4/19/14 at 1:34 am
Posted on 4/19/14 at 1:34 am
After a big business put my small business out of commission I've had to take a job making 8.50 a hour at a small business that doesn't provide health insurance. I'm ok with that, I don't spend that much and don't have kids and can live off $8.50... I'm ok with even not having health insurance, even though it would be nice...
So, Alabama isn't allowing obamacare, at least not for my annual income. And they aren't expanding Medicaid to where I can get it, yet I'm going to be taxed for not having insurance? Or I have to get a private plan I can't afford... God damn I'm starting to hate the people in this country. I don't blame Obama, I blame every other motherfricker that's either too greedy to let me get insurance for a price I can afford or too fricking worried if I die or not.
Yeah, I can get a better job... and I probably will soon... what about all these other folks that can't because jobs aren't available that pay enough because everything is being outsourced to china, india, etc or to mexicans. The Wealthy are just as much to blame as the poor for the issues in this country.

We could solve this by letting insurers sell across state lines.

Aren't you a student? Doesn't your school offer health insurance?

If you are single with no kids and making 8.50 an hour, the penalty won't be very much, from what I have seen. You can always file a hardship exemption.

NA...a health insurance pool spreads the cost amongst all those in the pool; the ante to get in the pool is reflected by the relative HEALTH liability of individuals in the pool.
Take a stroll through your neighborhood...and size up the relative health risk of the individuals therein. There is the reason for high premiums. High risk; and mostly due to poor health choices.
ObamaCare forces everybody into a pool which REALISTICALLY embraces and reflects the costs of these high risk individuals. The only way we ever get low premiums...is to not only FORCE people to buy insurance...but to FORCE people to police their health (risks). I.e., their behavior. I.e., herding cats.
"The poor will be with you always" (JC). Work hard...be honest...respect the brethren.
Good luck.

Alabama will cave on the expansion eventually. Just got to make fools of themselves first, like so many other things in our state's colorful past.

You should. He's the reason you can no longer buy a catastrophic plan for under $100/mo.

So let me get this straight
You don't have insurance and are Ok with that except that a new law is going to require you to either pay a tax or pay for insurance you can't afford. Said law was so championed by this president that the law bares his name. Now that you realize what you will have to pay, because of the NEW LAW passed by OBAMA, you are mad at "rich" people????
What the frick!!
Furthermore, not sure who you work for , but if they had plans on offering healthcare insurance, now they can't afford it. Wanna guess why???
You got it,

Well, then you are an idiot. He's the one mandating you pay. To ignore that is to overlook this entire debate. Most in your situation go bare, and either pay nothing for Healthcare, or just make a payment plan to hospitals when they do need it. Look, everyone don't need care.....read that again! Now imagine someone forcing you to have it....that Obama, and this whole debate. You sound like someone on Obama's peeny wanting to blame others, for his shite!

Hmmm you answer your own question later

I can get a better job
Then fricking do it.. The government is responsible for this and has burdened you with an expensive plan because you are young and needed to buffer the cost for the older and sick that they rely on for votes.. They really don't give a shite about you in these regards because they know they can placate the
youth in other ways. Play time is over, the government needs
your demographic to offset others, blame them if you most..
And before the ACA, there were plenty of competent catastrophic plans designed for the youth that served their needs and were cheap..

Congratulations. You're in luck. You have a qualifying circumstance. You can sign up for Obamacare so stop your bitching.

wealthy are far more to blame for the problems in this country than the poor.

You sound like you're mad at other things, and are taking it out on the health insurance issue.
Fwiw, I took a lesser paying job partially because of the health insurance it offered.
