“I wanted the Affordable Health Care Act. The problem is, is it’s not affordable,”
An Obama supporter finds out what’s in it: “I wanted the Affordable Health Care Act. The problem is, is it’s not affordable.”
I would laugh except that I am crying. Moreover, the article is from a San Francisco media outlet, which is as surprised as this Obama supporter at the cost of Obamacare. Too bad these liberals all considered conservatives and tea party people terrorists, murderers, and hate-filled killers of small children and therefore not worth listening to back in 2009. Had they listened, they would have found out about the unworkable nature of this law then, instead of now, and the law would never have been passed.
They should maybe consider this reality and recognize that this is why there are Republicans putting up a fight now to delay or defund the law.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

One word, KARMA!
Hmmm. Her family doesn’t qualify for subsidies. How sad!
I don’t know the size of Cynthia Jaynes family, but for the sake of the argument, let’s say 4 people. By statute, the poverty line for a 4 person family is 23.500 dollars. Obamacare subsidizes health insurance costs for people with income under 4 times the poverty level — 94,000 dollars in this case — to cut insurance costs to just under 10%, which would be about 9000 dollars,
Now, a couple years ago, I got fired and hand no income at all and the best offer I had insurance was COBRA coverage at about 950 bucks per month, and I’m a single guy. Y’know what? I understand you’re in tears considering Ms Jaynes sad plight. But I’m not.
Are the new massive deductibles and copay’s covered by federal subsidies or just the premiums?
Quite frankly I have better coverage coming from my work. With a lower deductible limit.
i have Not had any insurance since 1995. when i go to a doctor I pay cash. recently i had an Incident where i fell and cut my arm including a pierced artery. all Tallied. the Bill comes to $3200 plus Interest, they are collecting Gangster Money on a Medical Expense. many Shame on to Them.
i agree with Mr. Shupp. we are Paying corporate gangsters for so called health care.
