    Sorry, your dishonest citing threw me off. That is for men under 27 in specific counties, not everyone. Also:

    Remember that these figures represent the underlying, unsubsidized health insurance prices. If you’re eligible for a subsidy—if your income is below 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level—taxpayers will help defray a portion of these costs

      I didn’t say it applied to everyone. I said it applied to me, a lower middle class person in his mid 20s. I said this in response to someone who claimed I was lying that my premiums doubled every year after Obamacare until they were $800 a month and I couldn’t afford them anymore. Sorry, your disingenuous cherry picking of my argument threw me off.

      Also: fuck off neolib

        Shockingly, things that help other people besides you can still be important. Also, unless you were making 4x the federal poverty level, you got a subsidy to make the insurance more affordable. You probably just didn’t apply for it.

          Shockingly, things that strangle the middle class are not good for the middle class or the country as a whole.

          Also, it’s weird that you’re treating “4x the poverty level” as if it’s a decent living. The poverty level in 2014 was $11,000. So a person making slightly more than 4x that would be paying a quarter of their pre-tax income towards health insurance at $800/mo. You’re as out of touch with reality as Obama was.

            Health insurance for a 27 year old male now isn’t $800. Either that was the price for multiple people, or you are lying.

                Your “experience” didn’t happen as you said. You are either lying or hiding details.

                    I’m having trouble understanding why you keep replying when you continue to embarrass yourself with your obvious lies.
