If any of those 20 million are getting coverage due to Obamacare subsidies and taxes forced on someone else to pay them, it's that many opportunities for you to prove you really care about them having it. Hate to break it to you but you supporting someone else paying taxes to fund what you won't do on your own for a person without coverage isn't compassion. It's another fucking bleeding heart thinking compassion can come from expecting someone else to fund what he won't fund himself.
So you don't know how the ACA works.
I know exactly how it works. Part of the overall program involves making healthcare coverage more affordable by providing taxpayer funded SUBSIDIES to those who claim they can't afford to buy coverage. That's not the entire program but it's a big part of it.
Do you deny many that now have coverage are able to do so because of that freebie?
Its not free, people pay according to their income, why do people not understand this? Before it we all covered the uninsured, and they paid nothing.
When those subsidies lower what someone pays for healthcare coverage costs and it's offset by taxes paid from another person, it's a handout. No one said they weren't paying anything. What I said is the reduction in what they pay is offset by another person's higher taxes.
With Medicaid, it is free to them but the rest of us get the costs.
It goes back to it's not one group's place to be forced to offset the costs of another person's healthcare and that's what subsidies do. If you know of situations where someone can't afford coverage, unless you're willing to provide it to them with YOUR money, don't demand the rest of us be forced to do what you won't.
