thanks trump for no repeal/replace

The votes were there, they just simply needed to conjure up a moderately competent bill and couldnt.

First, how you gonna explain all your money just disappearing one day? Assuming you're smart enough to not just buy off coinbase or something.

Second, this sounds like a terrible plan. Especially for someone who looks down on so many people on this board for their life choices.

Yeah I think both sides of the argument can agree that ACA is a fricking shitshow.


Legislation designed to fail, openly admitted to by its creators, and celebrated by Democrats.

The US is a fruit basket republic. We've got more to offer than bananas, but man we are corrupt as frick.

That is absolutely criminal.
In the meantime, the corrupt politicians in Congress are not paying anything getting the best plan possible courtesy of the taxpayers.
The bribes from Big Pharma and the Insurance Companies are apparently working well ....

Man, I've had two surgeries this year(hernia and microdiscectomy) and I think the insurance paid out right at 50k. Previous 10 years I don't think I had more than a cold or two. I'd self insure before I paid into ACA at that rate.

Student loans suck!

I went through and looked at how much of my money is already allocated and per paycheck, I have, depending on how much overtime I get, $150 a week for food, laundry, alcohol, transportation, clothing, etc.

I can generally get by on 50-60 dollars during the week, but the weekends kill me.


It sucks but I would recommend that when you get raises, put half towards adding to your 401k or paying off that debt. The other half for fun whatever. Then one day when it's all paid off, you'll already be accustomed to living off less, and you can put your student loan payment straight into retirement or savings.

Or spend it on hookers

And small businesses. It's almost like the system is rigged to kill competition and only benefit the big players with political connections. Hmmm

But that's not what caused his rates to go up, a failed recall, now is it?

If OBAMAcare had never been passed, wouldn't be no need in any repeals, would there?
