Quote:LOL, well too bad.  I'm sick of it.  The law is the law.  And it's better than what we had.  So quit your griping unless you have an actual plan.

 

And no, saying that people should take "responsibility" isn't an actual plan.  It's stupid.  And no real professional or serious person would think that way, unless they've been indoctrinated into some nonsensical propaganda.  

 

Actually the law is not the law.  By the letter of the law all the subsidies on the federal exchange to residents that didn't participate in setting up state exchanges are illegal.  John Roberts had to rewrite that part of the law to bail out the white house.  

 

Second, it's not better than what we had before.  Before an average person could buy catastrophic coverage and save money for basic medical care in a health savings account.  Now even the most basic HSA plans are loaded with so much mandated garbage that the average person can't afford them without a subsidy.  

 

Thirdly, last time I checked personal responsibility was a fact of life, not some gustapo ideal painted on the back of a swatstika.  The more that each individual can do to support their own weight in society benefits society.  The alternative leads to running out of other people's money and being forced into draconian austerity like Greece.  That's the real propaganda.

 

When someone starts telling you about making something affordable and the first thing they start spouting off about is how everyone and their friend is going to need a subsidy RUN!!!
