I much prefer having everyone paying something into the system. When you make a hefty $12/hr looking at unsubsidized premiums that are truly unaffordable you opt to pay nothing into the system. We who pay our premiums cover the uncovered so lets help them pay a portion.
Haha. It’s so funny when a political cartoon makes the opposite point of the one the cartoonist thinks he’s making. Too bad there wasn’t room for the balloon where the judge says, “Yes, he did, but we activist conservative judges have deliberately misconstrued the health care law to keep affordable insurance out of the hands of millions.”

It’s interesting that you mention that, because a person who buys merchandise based on false promises often has the right to seek damages against the lying merchant. Hopefully there will be a remedy available to Americans for the many lies they were told about Obamacare.
dear arodney the law says the ACA only explicitly authorizes subsidies to enrollees on state-run exchanges [that was the dc court dec] the other court said congress wanted all to get the subsidies even though they wrote for only state run exchanges
Another victory in the war against the workers! Not to worry, however: Congress has declared that if you go broke because of medical bills, you can’t discharge the debts in bankruptcy. Go Fat Cats! We’re Number One!
