In reply to the discussion: ACA insurance. what you need to know about forced shit insurance [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)don't have ANY extra income, NONE, ZERO. Many can't even afford school lunches, or three full meals a day. Now you are advising them to 'buy a good insurance policy'. Do you actually know anyone with a family whose income already doesn't cover the ever rising bills while the salaries do not keep up with them?
Giving that advice, 'just go buy a good insurance policy and then do the research to see what can you get to REDUCE it' is like telling someone with no vision to go look at the beautiful sunset, somehow oblivious to the fact that they won't be able to see it.
I know it's hard for a lot of people to even imagine the plight of the working poor. And that is why we have to put people in office WHO DO. This bill was thought up by business people whose lives are far, far removed from those of the working poor which is why it is so easy for THEM to toss out these 'products' to the public and just assume, ironically as Repubs always have, that anyone who can't afford any of it, is just too lazy and dependent.
I can't help you to understand, so I'll leave it at that, and restate, this is not the place for the working poor to come to for help. There are places, thankfully, and still people who are capable of understanding and they are better off, and it appears there are not many here seeking advice anymore, going elsewhere, where people are not looking to defend politicians, but really are interested in helping people.
