wow , let me guess , you live with your mom and dad ?
good luck out there
boom, facial.i do live my mom and stepdad
let me guess, did you hear that from alex jones?I heard if you don't have healthcare you can go to jail it's some new law, part of the healthcare plan.
a fine is silly too. this is a free country, why should we have to pay for healthcare if we don't want it. i don't like this plan. i think it should be payed for with tax dollars and no extra fee out of pocket. get rid of the middle men (insurance companies). oh wait, that would never happen because govt is in bed with the insurance companies...let me guess, did you hear that from alex jones?
if you choose to forgo insurance in favor of the fine, it carries no criminal penalty. kinda hard to go to jail if you haven't done anything criminal
so your dad isnt being taken care of because he cant afford it? yet you say the government shouldnt step in and make him better, so he can continue to provide? why make him miserable forever if you can just fix it? we could afford it if werent in these wars and send money to all these other countrieshey i believe he should have gotten healthcare for free, but every other living expense?? well, sorry, but he had a job. which is more than most people have. healthcare is a human right, but expecting the govt to pay for someone and all their kids cause they want welfare is bs. Which is why I am a moderate. Cant wait for next year's election!!! I actually get to vote this time. And my dad didnt have insurance, which is how he got so deep into this hole. It hurts to see my dad suffering because people dont want to approve healthcare, and it hurts to hear him cry to me that he isnt a real father because he cant afford nice stuff for us, because he cant take care of us
the funny thing is, if her dad is unemployed and pulls in less than 133% of poverty (~13k - 14k per year) then he qualifies for medicaid under the recently passed patient protection and affordable care act (health care reform).so your dad isnt being taken care of because he cant afford it? yet you say the government shouldnt step in and make him better, so he can continue to provide? why make him miserable forever if you can just fix it? we could afford it if werent in these wars and send money to all these other countries
the fine is only for those making 400% of poverty and above. that means if you are single and make about $40k a year, you get a $700 fine (eventually) if you don't insure yourself.a fine is silly too. this is a free country, why should we have to pay for healthcare if we don't want it. i don't like this plan. i think it should be payed for with tax dollars and no extra fee out of pocket. get rid of the middle men (insurance companies). oh wait, that would never happen because govt is in bed with the insurance companies...
too bad he doesnt believe in evil socialismthe funny thing is, if her dad is unemployed and pulls in less than 133% of poverty (~13k - 14k per year) then he qualifies for medicaid under the recently passed patient protection and affordable care act (health care reform).
what does he make on unemployment? he has to make over $1,000 a month to not qualify for medicaid, or get seen for next to nothing at a local clinic.he makes too much on unemployment to get free healthcare. but yet his unemployment is barely enough to survive
I dont understand the point you are trying to make?so your dad isnt being taken care of because he cant afford it? yet you say the government shouldnt step in and make him better, so he can continue to provide? why make him miserable forever if you can just fix it? we could afford it if werent in these wars and send money to all these other countries
keep your government hands off my medicaid!too bad he doesnt believe in evil socialism
I used to be the biggest socialist ever, until I actually thought about it. Free healthcare is good, its a basic human right. But all the other shit that comes with socialism? I'll pass. There has to be a middle ground somewhere.too bad he doesnt believe in evil socialism
i take issue with calling it "free" health care.I used to be the biggest socialist ever, until I actually thought about it. Free healthcare is good, its a basic human right. But all the other shit that comes with socialism? I'll pass. There has to be a middle ground somewhere.
he doesnt even support healthcare for everyone... but i dont care what he supports, I know that healthcare is the only way he can get better. im happy that insurance will become availible to him, he needs it.what does he make on unemployment? he has to make over $1,000 a month to not qualify for medicaid, or get seen for next to nothing at a local clinic.
come 2014, people in his position that make enough to not qualify for medicaid yet are still unable to afford insurance will be subsidized on a sliding scale to purchase insurance from an exchange. for someone making about what he does, that would mean about $25 a month for decent health insurance.
my point was that he is sick. although i dont know what he has, im somewhat sure they have a treatment for it, if its not able to be cured. so instead of not being able to afford insurance, living in misery because he cant get better, and still isnt able to work, wouldnt it be nice if the government helped him out with some cheap(or free) medical treatment? you know damn well he doesnt deserve to suffer. should he continue to suffer simply because he cant afford health insurance?I dont understand the point you are trying to make?
all you have to do is get private health insurance and you dont get fined...when i was unemployed, i made 500 a week.
40k a year is peanuts. i couldn't even pay my rent on that. i definitely couldn't afford another few 100 a month for health insurance. hopefully if you're making 40k you're at least getting some benefits through work.
