70. It's really nice, and I mean that, that you are in a position where your every thought

isn't about how are we going to pay the electric bill which has gone up this month, or convince the oil company to deliver a few gallons of oil, also increased beyond what we can afford, so our children or elderly parents don't freeze, or try to buy enough food which has also gone up so at least the children have enough to eat, that you have time to sit at your computer and figure out these incredibly complicated issues regarding whether or not someone whose main concerns is just surviving until tomorrow, can afford to pay one more bill they did not have to worry about BEFORE this legislation passed.

Why is this so complicated that it requires someone to spend time they DON'T have, workiing two and sometimes three jobs to just survive in this society?

It's nice of you to throw more complicated mish mash at someone who has clearly told you they cannot afford one more bill. I know, because neither can I. People have to make choices, whether to spend time trying to negotiate this complicated 'garbage', which is what it is to those trying desperately to stay warm, to eat, to pay the electric bill, many don't have a computer, to decide if they can afford ANOTHER bill to pay for a shoddy product from a Private Corp they cannot afford, or just pay the fine?? A FINE for being too poor to buy a shoddy product which they cannot use due to the high copays when you can ONLY afford the cheapest product?

Hey, thanks for your empathy for all those who have more to do and think about than spend hours trying to figure out if they can afford to be sick, or not.

Appalling, the attitude here towards the working poor. I don't recognize this as a progressive democratic forum anymore.

My heart goes out to the OP but I have nothing to offer her/him. We lost, they won and many of us will be more burdened as the HC Corps are bailed out with Medicaid money, and we are fined for not being able to buy their shitty product.
