15. ACA

I have a younger brother, born again repubic Obama hater that ownes a sussesfull cabinet business, in Georgia. He has diabetes, his wife has had double mastectomy and they have an adopted 12 year old. They were paying $1,600 per month for health insurance, with the threat of being dropped under pre Obama care. He falsifies his income to the IRS and qualifies for ACA supplement and pays $250 per month for premiums with "A" quality coverage. Hate's dems and socialism. Always been racist. The kicker, his son is half white and half black. Much more black features. They took him out of public schools (in Georgia) because of redneck harrassment, to home school. He is a both sides dummy but one side loves Guns, God, and Whites. Go figure.
My daughter is working her way through college for her second degree. We got her insurance through the ACA, lost her mom to cancer at 10 years old, so it is critical she has care. For the first 2 years on ACA as a waitress she underestimated her tip income at $18,000. But made close to $24,000. The first year I paid back $2,000 the second $1,000 to IRS for subsides, For making too much.
The point here, is I hate ignorant repubics, but I have a brother that is one and making out on Dem polices and have to bite my tongue. But, God loves him.
