Suggesting people are irresponsible leftstreet Jul 2013 #70
Sorry, but repeating "it must be bad because the GOP said it" over and over again just won't cut it. TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #74
Nice try, but I didn't say that leftstreet Jul 2013 #76
Not exactly. I insinuated that people are immoral when they're willing to force OTHER people to TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #83

Have you plugged in the numbers in the online calculator? SoCalDem Jul 2013 #15
A THOUSAND BUCKS A MONTH??? Cronus Protagonist Jul 2013 #37
No,it says $164 bucks a month, not a thousand. You get a tax credit if you're in that income range. TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #40
Tax credit means you still have to pay the cash through the year Cronus Protagonist Jul 2013 #42
yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not going to work like that. Schema Thing Jul 2013 #45
No cash, credit paid dirctly to insurance company Progressive dog Jul 2013 #47
Really? Wow! Cronus Protagonist Jul 2013 #95
That's what they claim and it makes sense. Progressive dog Jul 2013 #133
I really hope so Cronus Protagonist Jul 2013 #135
Not these. The subsidies will go into effect right away. n/t pnwmom Jul 2013 #126
ACA tax credits are given when you pay your premium JCMach1 Jul 2013 #134
Interesting. So the tax credit, that comes off the $1,086 and you pay $164. a month? Autumn Jul 2013 #55
You should try going and calculating your own rate. Here's the link. TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #89
That's really good! Just Saying Jul 2013 #106
I checked for myself as a single person Skittles Jul 2013 #49
Probably because you didn't calculate it properly. What calculator did you use? nt TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #80
Okay, I just used the same calculator, punched in the same numbers for a single person and TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #90
sounds like the old single people getting screwed business to me Skittles Jul 2013 #94
Sounds like it's just a recognition of the fact that a salary divided by ONE is greater pnwmom Jul 2013 #100
sounds like a GREAT DEAL for INSURANCE COMPANIES Skittles Jul 2013 #104
I hope my employer keeps their plan joeglow3 Jul 2013 #52

Here's the calculator.. put your numbers in and see what happens SoCalDem Jul 2013 #58
Thanks. Not as good as I'd hoped but I could still swing it. Still, it's way cheaper that what I brewens Jul 2013 #59

A) Sorry about your parents, and B ) what exactly is your point? TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #43
At least everyone was equal before Fumesucker Jul 2013 #53
I disagree. People with LIVE or WEALTHY parents ALWAYS had an advantage before. (Not equal) TrollBuster9090 Jul 2013 #61
Eh, I just know how I would have felt at the time if that had been the situation Fumesucker Jul 2013 #84
