President Trump

[bbsam]

I have also worked hard all my life and was constantly frustrated knowing that I was paying for those who “don’t want to work”.

So you assume everyone on government assistance just “don’t want to work”?

I know several people who “don’t wanna work”. I’m far from frustrated by it though. More grateful that I can and want to.

 

[bbsam]

Agreed. My wife makes almost twice what I do and drives a Hyundai. I’m just saying people going to collect government assistance should not be driving high end vehicles and having newest cell phones... maybe I’m wrong. I’m being bashed for saying it so I guess I am???

Farmers do it.

its easy for those that have the best healthcare already to support this crap.

let him pay for pregnancy insurance for himself and he wont be such an eager supporter.

We had that option but the coverage was basically equal to direct pay so we did direct pay for each of our three children.

 

[It will be fine]

I think I've got a really good handle on it. Tell me, at what point do subsidies stop? And I do know they tail off. People go from fully subsidized to partially as their income rises. At what point is a person completely on his own to pay for it?

The subsidies vary by state and the cost of a silver plan. They will keep your premium cost to around 10% of your income if I remember correctly. As insurance prices rise so do the subsidies. That's why eliminating the individual mandate was likely foolish as young healthy people will leave the market raising the price of a silver plan for those that remain raising the cost to the taxpayer.

We made money off our kids. Had a no deductible health plan at the time and collected on some short term disability policies on the wife that we set up just for the occasion.

I deliver to our local Social Services office—-the able bodied far outnumber the infirmed.

Mental illness is not always easily identifiable by outward appearance.

Laziness is.

Do you realize some of those people may in fact be employed but fall far under the poverty level?

 

[bbsam]

Laziness is.

What is your criteria in making that diagnosis?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Do you realize some of those people may in fact be employed but fall far under the poverty level?

Those would be the exception, not the norm.

 

[bbsam]

You don’t know that. In fact stats suggest there are a great number of underemployed.

Deny preventative care = death. Ttku

then you will have to send the police out and force these folks to take care of themselves. you're already forcing them to pay for an insurance many do not want so I guess the next logical step would be to force them to go see the doctor regularly against their will.

preventative care starts with the self, not the system. Remember that lesson about free will.

Tell that to someone who doesn't know they have cancer until it's too late.
