see4."Than", not "then". Still the same state laws.
"Still the same state laws". Really, Did Gruber tell you that? Or is miss spelling an infraction now?
God1.Nitro,
I never have understood why you continue to try and have a meaningful discussion with this idiot.
He's either never read the ACA or has chosen to ignore pertinent facts. Nearly 50% of working Americans pay no federal income tax. These are the same people who qualify for the ACA subsidy; and more importantly, really like the law! Qualification for a subsidy, is a function of not only your income, but how many rug rats you squirt out and can't afford. If the "short bus" rider has read the law, he could tell you all about it.
The majority of people with gold and platinum plans had the cost of their plans go up; in 2015 the cap on the increase is a function of income; the percentage is what is limited by the ACA; it's not a cap on the magnitude of the increase. If the "short bus" rider has bothered to read the plan he could tell you all about it.
It's the "redistribution" part clearly spelled out in the ACA. Somebody has to pay for those that can't ... it's just a fact; the ACA is predicated on "redistribution".
The ACA is about access, not cost.
If the "short bus" rider was truthful, he would also mention all the other taxes the upper middle class will have to support in order to pay for those that can't. But of course he won't.
The bottom line is that, the "short bus" rider can yap all he wants about the meaningless magnitude increase in the ave cost of premiums, but he knows full well that this single metric alone doesn't tell the whole story ....... and more importantly, he lies!
Hope you're enjoying yourself in Hawaii.
Thats a good question. If it wasn't for that fact that I think he makes an excellent conservative campaigner every time he opens his pie hole. I probably wouldn't be talking to the idiot. Otherwise I would be just helping people grow weed like I did when I came to RIU.
I appreciate the sensible discussion , and I am having a good time in Hawaii. Thanks.
