re: Don't like Obamacare? Get a better job or find a better employer

what's hilarious is that he's using an argument that is counter to his position. in that regard, it's a pretty clever troll...no one has even bothered with the premise.


his argument is that people hate Obamacare because they're free loaders who want to get rich working at a shitty job. that doesn't even make sense.

1. the free loading part...free loaders love Obamacare. LOVE IT.

2. this is about health care, so whether you want affordable healthcare or can't get a job that provides it to you, or if you want to not be economically encumbered by Obamacare, then you're trying to "get rich working a low skill job" Who is working a low skill job that thinks repealing Obamacare or single payer or WHATEVER solution as it relates to healthcare will make them rich?

Are you this stupid?

Why would offering health insurance all of a sudden become so difficult for my current employer, that I have to find a better employer?

Actually I double checked; I pay $90.89 a month for my plan and my employer gives me $1500 a year to my HSA account.

My deductible is $1500...my wife has better insurance --- go figure --- so we put the kids on that. She pays only $150.

I'm calling bullshite across the board on this. It's too good to be true especially your wife's coverage...unless the employer is covering 90% and she pays a token amount.

As to yours, it's possible on an individual end to pay that as a premium, with the employer kicking in but then you throw in the 1500 on the HSA.....no employer that is competent will cover things like that at a 1500 deductible plus 1500 HSA unless you work for SAP and if you are posting here while on SAP's time, you will soon be a taker and may have to start taking COBRA or get on your wife's plan in which case your premiums will fall in line.

Good for you. That is a great gig. Problem is for the majority of us we are having to subsidize all the people that can't afford insurance thus making ours go up. My insurance is up to $600 a month for my family and my employer pays $1500 a month. So my policy is $2100 dollars of month. That's crazy for 2 very healthy 20 somethings with a young healthy child.

I earn more than you by about $25k. That is salary. I earn up to a 20% of salary bonus every April.

I have a company issued F-150 with unlimited personal use and my wife can drive it as well.

I have an $80k a year T&E expense account to take clients on awesome trips like fishing in Islemorada or bird hunting in Arkansas throughout the year. I have frequent use of our corporate season tickets to the Falcons, Hawks, and Braves. Second row for the Hawks behind the Bench. Two rows behind the home dugout. Two sets to choose from for the Falcons. One set in the super suite and another 7 rows up on the 50.

My employer has 55k employees worldwide. I have a damn good gig and can't really complain about the insurance. I have a wife and 4 kids and pay $350 a month. Family deductible tops out around $7k.

I don't like ACA because I see how it has affected my friends and millions of other Americans in a very bad way.

But for real, I really just wanted to illustrate in the post how much better my job is than yours.
