In insurance, I can give myself a $50k raise every year. So $320K won't impress me in a few months.

I've never claimed to be modest! I've either been a farmer or insurance my entire life!

Jake

Thinly veiled gay slurs are not going to go well for you.

If I could give myself a $50k raise every year I'd make a hell of a lot more than $300k wtf slacker

I mean, if you make $300k and you don't like the exchange plan or plans, just pay the tax for not having insurance and pay cash for any medical treatment you get.

claims to make 300k/yr and is not only paying less $/month than I am but also complaining about it.

I'm sad now komrades.

Well most of the people making sure this disaster stays in place for me (thanks) work for a company and hence have group coverage with a much more healthy risk pool. Nice for you.

Not an option for a single person who is taking a risk to be self-employed. Obamacare is annoying to me, but what's particularly irritating is how so many mindless sheep who aren't on it and don't need it argue in favor of what's literally exploding.

It's exploding, folks. Trump is right. What do you see the barrage of news about premium hikes and departing insurers and go "fake news" or do you think "well, gee it has Obama's name attached and I don't use it but I love Obama!"

Stop arguing in favor of something that is only making people dependent on the government who, last I checked, hasn't exactly helped us out whatsoever in terms of poker. If anybody should know what governments can do, it's young poker players.

Jake

That's nothing compared to what Steve Bannon can give himself.

And if I came down with cancer? Remember, that's what my $30 (would be higher now) BCBS plan was for.

Jake

It's possible he has Trump's $21 Gerber plan. I hear deplorables have better options.

He's playing some game that old people like us don't understand. He's probably a deplorable as well. ACEG seems to know what he's doing.

ok, I've ignored this moron.

I'm more mad for people who make around $100k/year and have three kids and a wife. They're getting reamed to the tune of $2k/year for sub-par insurance in some states. It's just an obviously bad system and the only reason people are against taking it aways is because they're on one side of the aisle and not the other.

This is the kind of thing that should be easy to agree on and we can't even do that. I think the people that are on it surely know what's up. Have you had a lot of positive testimonials on here about ObamaCare from ObamaCare users? Or is this just an odd ObamaCare circlejerk for non-"policyholders"?

If you're on it, what do you think of it?

Jake

Catastrophic insurance doesn't mean that catastrophes are fully covered.

I'm sure Charlie was no angel.

Son you were a farmer and probably sell crop insurance now, your entire ****ing life you've been a welfare leech. Don't ****ing talk back.

Like I said, tell that to the people who got arrested staging sit ins at their senator's offices. Seems like they didn't know! Maybe they need some spicy memes and to watch Fox and Friends?

"This bill isn't good for young, healthy, 1 percenters! I'm being forced to subsidize the sick and the old"

No ****, we know

stopped reading when you revealed you think democrats named it obamacare.

So brave. I can hear the REEEEEEEEs from here. I'll have to REEEEEEEEEEE out of here myself now, gents. I stumbled upon a real hornets nest of ObamaCare fans who weren't on ObamaCare and didn't have a single clue WTF they were talking about—literally! Praise Barrack Hussein Obama in all his majesty. I'll let Politics be Politics.

The delusion is real. Facts:

1. ObamaCare sucks (ask anybody who is on it who isn't souring the pool)
2. Russia is a ruse
3. Pay attention to Debbie Wasserman Schultz news, folks. You heard it here first. Time will tell!

Jake

No, that's a misrepresentation. I'm calling it ObamaCare. He didn't name it ObamaCare. Clear enough? But y'all are good at obfuscating and not reading. That's why we have Our President. Keep it up...PLEASE!

Jake

Oh, well as long as it's convenient for you non self-employed people. Don't worry. Us self-employed will take care of them for you! (Not my job. Never asked for it. Don't want it!)

Jake

you said people want to save it because it has obama's name on it, when republicans purposefully attached obama's black african name to it to get rural uneducateds like yourself to hate it

Obamacare is a huge net advantage to self employed people, of course.

This is an interesting line I've seen from a few other of them, that the pre-Obamacare status quo was good. The problem with it, you see, is that Obamacare started in 2014. People can remember 2013, Jake.

I'm well aware. I qualified for the policy when I was 20 or so and I was absolutely comfortable with the risk I was taking on. I would love to revert back to it....but I can't.

Jake

So now, you're upset with your current plan because...

It covers more things?
It has a lower deductible?
It has a lower out of pocket max?
