Who is "hurt" by the ACA? There are some who will pay more according to income. Squinch Oct 2013 #6

One could easily argue that it's "only a matter of time" before subsidies are decreased. DireStrike Oct 2013 #17

I am not trying to sell anyone anything. I am asking who is hurt. Squinch Oct 2013 #19

Are you arguing that because the fee might be waived, nobody will be hurt? DireStrike Oct 2013 #21

I am not arguing anything. I am asking who is hurt. Squinch Oct 2013 #22

Thank you. DireStrike Oct 2013 #69

The question was, who is hurt by the ACA? DireStrike Oct 2013 #65

I am noticing an interesting trend, the only people who claim to have to pay more for ACA are Repubs Heather MC Oct 2013 #9

Upper middle class people antiquie Oct 2013 #11

But they Can Keep what they have Heather MC Oct 2013 #14

You are probably right. antiquie Oct 2013 #16
