The feds will spend just about $10,000 subsidizing health insurance costs for a poor, middle-aged man who lives in Georgia ― and just $3,000 buying the same guy in nearby Tennessee a near-identical plan.
This is the type of problem that will lead to problems down the road.
My husband is a salesman and works primarily off commission. He usually earns right around $100k – $125k a year.

It’s great to see that you are getting involved and know about HSA’s, “college student”.
The supporters of the ACA should think about moving to a country where there is socialized medicine already in existence. There is no need to shift the Federal Govt into such an overbearing role. As we are seeing today, they can’t even do their job, why should they have an even larger impact in regards to my choices/freedoms/pocket book?

How do the financial analyst forecast a sustainable bottom line figure? $10,000 for one person- with millions expected to need subsidies?
I’m trying to spread the word around my campus for students to opt-out of Obamacare.
Rutledge, this strengthens your point of the ACA not working, but I don’t want to see it work.
Health Savings Accounts put the individual in control of their money and health care spending- a great alternative to the senselessness of the ACA.
