Not comparing someone with high income with someone who's getting subsidized. I'm saying that if my income is too high to get subsidized, say $45k a year, but nowhere near someone making $120k a year, the $120k guy is going to obviously have a much easier time with the high premiums and high deductibles. And if that's the case that person has no right to tell the lower paid guy he's a racist or bigot, not caring about the poor, if the poor guy is against being forced to pay much more under this system. If the better off guy cares as much as he says, he should proportionately pay much more. If they have similar policies he's not. If he says he is paying more it's still much easier for him in percentage of his income to pay more. Bet he's not paying twice or three times what the $45k guy is, nor is his deductible higher. If anything the poor guy in lieu of higher premiums has much higher deductibles. Which means he gets creamed if anything happens.
