4. Two things. First, my partner and I can have a cell phone 'family plan' but ACA treats us as single

strangers to each other, so in terms of YOUR community's health care laws, Ms Briggs, the cell company is less bigoted and does not discriminate against minority couples, your health care laws are very bigoted and extremely discriminatory. You, Ida, get to sit down on the bus,while others must stand to allow your comfort, this is what you are so thrilled about.
Second, Ms Briggs, the 276 dollars is for ONE person, the cell phone plan costing that much would cover way more than two. Four? Five? I don't know, we pay less than half that for both of us.
So sure, if you have a 300 dollar cell phone bill, and you are a Rick Warren Approved Sanctity Brand family then this premium for one is cheaper than phones for five.
Such elegant work, this bill is. You say the word 'family' and you hit on the worst aspect of the law. Your family, some families, just not mine or all families. I hope that makes you shimmer with pride as a people. Bigotry, it's what holds your culture together, without hate, what would Francis and his prod peers talk about, you all use hate and metric and as stock in trade. You are a people capable of hating and discriminating against your own children.
