Which is something that can be handled on a case-by-case basis or make all inmates coming out of jail eligible for Medicaid for up to one year to find employment.

There are options. Unfortunately, like someone else said, politicians are getting too much power from fear-mongering to actually sit down and ferret out an appropriate plan.

Also, you are never going to be able to plan for EVERY eventuality. Sometimes, things have to be addressed as they come up. This is where critical thinking skills would come in handy. I see fewer and fewer of those critical thinking skills every day

It's a scare tactic. Perpetuated by those that profit the most from increased cost.

Wow. Calling my mom's parenting into question? Let me say this, not everyone has the same opportunities in life. You don't know my upbringing, situation or how any of this came about. You're stance is immoral and disgusting IMO, and is not symbolic of this nation. You sir are an outlier, not the majority.

See, this is that gray area you simply refuse to understand. I never had insurance. I grew up in a single mother home, and neither one of us had insurance. By the time I was able to buy some on my own, it was too late. I was diagnosed with this condition at 19 years old.

I honestly feel bad for people in this situation but that doesn't mean I should be forced to subsidize it.

Find a single poll that was in favor of doing away with PEC coverage. The majority voted BO into office based on his healthcare/insurance platform. ACA needs help, but doing away with coverage for the unfortunate, needy and those with PEC's will not happen, nor should it.

You're right. Also not my fricking problem.

That's nice. I don't give two shits about your moral values or opinion.

I owe you nothing. You are entitled to nothing from me. And vice versa.

You may want to prioritize getting a job with group insurance coverage.

Well, you see, at 19 years old, your options are limited. Even more so prior to ACA, because a lot of employers did not offer benefits.

Not entitled--and regardless of your beliefs, I won't turn my back on you or ignore your difficulties. I'm for a society where we care about each other.

You're not 19 now. Move on. There's solutions to your problem which don't involve other people's money.

Awesome. My daughter is starting med school and I could about $350 from everyone on this board.
