What the hell is the matter with all of you? The private, for profit health INSURANCE corporations are blaming the government for withholding their subsides for "INSURING" the poor and using the threat of subsidies being with held to "justify" huge, obscene, unaffordable rate increases on those in the middle class that do not qualify for any subsidies. While government cannot/will enact the simplest solution (single payer) because they are beholden to their masters the private, for profit, health INSURANCE and pharma corporations along with their billion dollar lobbyists. None of you see that your being played in the middle and pitted against each other. The private, for profit health INSURANCE corporations and their government monkeys are INTENTIONALLY keeping this issue obfuscated, complicated and confusing to fool you i***ts. The ACA is anything but "affordable" and will continue to be. Any solutions put forth so far will NOT solve the problem of health CARE! Health CARE and health INSURANCE are not the same thing.
Check out the 2017 health INSURANCE ripoff rates and guess who gets hit hardest? THE AGING POPULATION THAT DOESN'T GET SUBSIDIES. You are all like sheep being led to slaughter, oblivious to how health INSURANCE and big PHARMA corporations are fucking you with government's blessing. Don't believe their LIES!
