You can't get Obamacare, so you'll have to get a private plan? What's the diifference?

Private plans are pretty fricking expensive, more than I can afford.

You're complaining that you have to pay a tax, but you don't blame Obama? Who do you blame?

---

I blame the people that think I have to have an insurance plan/those that don't want to let me have that plan at a price I can afford.

Who is greedy and keeping you from getting insurance?

The wealthy are the ones that are keeping me from getting the plan, but like I said I'm ok with not having one.

You could have gotten a cheap plan before they were outlawed by Obamacare.

I had one, it wasn't cheap. I live in a relatively low cost area and have probably the sweetest rent utility combo available by 150 dollars or so in my area. My rent is only 325 and includes internet, tv, and utilities, and I don't have any kids. I'm managing to feed the pig on $8.50 an hour, but very slowly. I don't spend much at all on myself, but have only gained about 1000 dollars in my bank account over the last 4 months.

I get about 1100 dollars every month after taxes... $325 of that goes to my rent, utilities, and internet. that leaves me with $775 to live off of.... can you live off 775 a month and put money in the bank... I do.


And then I need a oil change, or insurance on my car, or new tags, etc... etc... etc...

I don't have insurance and I don't want insurance. I never have. I did the math and figured that there was a high probability that it would be much cheaper to pay my medical bills out of pocket. It has been a huge boon to my bank account. I'll just pay the fine, when it comes. You should do the same.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO FORCE PEOPLE TO GET INSURANCE.

over a 50 year period you would have spent 210,000 and that is at a 350 premium monthly. That amount of money if you get cancer or worse would be used up in a years time. So now if that horrible situation occurs we will all pay for you.
