OK, don't have a fit: Five thoughts on the Obamacare disaster

70. If you don't go for gold or platinum, you will be screwed

because you won't be able to use health care without going into monstrous debt thanks to high deductibles. It's a win-win for insurance companies because they stand to make a ton of money on people who are suckers to go for especially the bronze plans that are basically worthless.

If you do go for gold or platinum, you will be screwed anyway because the monthly premiums will be unaffordable, subsidy or no. Silver and bronze are not cheap, either, and they are inferior to large company plans.

And if your financial situation changes for the better, will you be forced to pay back the subsidies?

Expanding Medicaid is perhaps the most onerous if you are past 55 because the government will then have the right to seize your estate when you die for everything that has been paid for on your behalf, including those monthly payments. You might not even be able to use it anyway if doctors won't see you.

ACA is nothing more or less than corporate welfare.
