Tens of millions of people's jaws are going to hit the ground when they find out what their monthly mandatory premium will be if they don't have insurance through their employers. I was curious and entered my numbers in the ACA calculator and was flabbergasted at what I would have to pay. I have a feeling that bankruptcy attorneys are going to get rich.

OK, Birther, I'll bite.
How much did it say you will have to pay? You were flabbergasted, huh?
Details, please.
I put in a household income of $150,000 with two persons in mid-fifties, one a smoker, and one 24 year old non-smoker; the premium for a Silver plan with max out of pocket of $12,700 is $20,621 per year. An employer plan with the same individuals and a max of $3,500 out of pocket costs about $15,000.
Well...if you have access to that employer SPONSORED plan, which the employer is subsidizing for you ( in lieu of salary ) I suggest that you keep it. It is a nice perk. Unless your employer tells you to eat shit, you should be fine.
If you do not have access to that employer plan.....please compare apples to apples and tell us what an individual plan would cost you.
