2 Toons on the CBO report on Obamacare- Snap and double snap!

19. Personally I think the CBO report is bullshit.

I can understand if someone is close financially to being OK they might quit their second job to get on the ACA but this simply does not describe most people. As I get older even with good insurance the thought of retiring is not looking all that good. I have already discovered even with good insurance I forked out 15K last year in insurance cost, co-pays, deductibles, and the 20% I always have to pay. I did not face much in the way of a major medical problem and only had some age-related things going on. I cannot retire ever if I am going to have to come up with huge amounts of money like last year on a more frequent basis and heaven forbid if I am faced with a major medical issue. This does not go away even on ACA.
