Obama care

Umm try again, I used the $36,000 a year income that was posted in the op so that's $3000 a month.

The $78,120 figure is the cut off a family of 3 can make and still receive assistance to help pay for their insurance. Now whether or not that assistance is already factored into the prices shown in my pretty little screen cap or not I don't know, so I welcome you to look into it and post what you find but even if it's not factored in it's still cheaper than what was in the op.

Where does the "assistance" you speak of come from?

I'm assuming it will come from the same fine folks who couldn't take 300+ million dollars and get the front end of a web site going until private companies were called in to help. God only knows what's going on with back side processing of the site.

The fact is health insurance is now going to cost anyone making a decent income considerably more. End of story. Anyone who believes otherwise is delusional.

Man you cut right to the core on that statement. Here this program was sold as "AFFORDABLE" but for who?? Not for me and the companies I deal with who pay for their employees health insurance. How does getting health insurance free from your employer and then changing to costing you ($300, $400 or anything at all) equate to affordable?
I have had this discussion with many folks from Electricians, Auto Body Shops and folks who work in the boating industry and it's the same everywhere. Business owners of these small companies cannot pay the close to 100% cost increase of this law. Luckily we kept our policy for one more year as did these others but if this law stands we are doomed with this increase that we didn't budget for and it will hurt everyone's bottom dollar. How can anyone just shell out $300-$500 a month and think " oh it's ok because I'm doing my part" helping the uninsured get insurance when in fact this had little to do with getting the uninsured help or making it affordable to the middle class. It was a money and power grab sold to the idiots of this country who loved the idea because their messiah said it was good. People like him and blind followers have a history of drinking the koolaid. I think Jim Jones was another sweet talker that had blind allegiance by his minions...look how that ended. Only problem is now the minions are dragging all of us down.

Most of the folks on here and in the public eye knew that gubment controlled anything has a direct link to your money. I was and am against it and we who opposed it were right! The program has to get funded and how would they do that??? Hmmmmmm that's a tough one but we figured it out in .000000002 seconds!!!! It ain't over..more hurt is coming to us all. Take that to the bank.

Jim sums things up so nicely.....
