      It expanded the grift. I was uninsured and negotiating care for cash payments before Obamacare passed. Since then I have been paying monthly premiums for insurance but no money left for care, I have had exactly one checkup since Obamacare passed.

        The important part is that you’re on a monthly paid plan, and if you become uninsured and have a lapse in your coverage, you will pay even more.

          I only pay for “insurance” now. I can’t afford care and skip it. I’ve had a broken arm, weeks of vomiting, and a dozen dangerously high fevers, chronic breathing issues, and I didn’t get care for any of them. I also haven’t been to the dentist in over 25 years. But I have “insurance”. It’s fucking evil and so are the advocates of mandates.

          Oh I forgot the cracked rib I had just this January. Ribs heal themselves btw. No worries.

            You sound pretty ungrateful. America has better health care than almost every other under-developed country on earth. You probably just hate the tan suit with Dijon mustard. And something about racism.

              How can I be grateful for care I get to help subsidize but can’t use? I literally haven’t been to the doctor at all. How is that better health care? It’s zero care. Broken bones and I just let them heal on their own and hoped it worked out. And you pull a racism card out of your ass too? What a fuckwit.
