(16,698 posts)You realize your post comes off as one big "screw you, I got mine" right? I mean, I'd bet you don't really mean that. But right now, for everyone who got helped, there's about one other person who got left behind. Of course some of that comes from folks that the GOP are screwing over because they won't enact the Medicaid expansion.
So the guy that doesn't make enough for subsidies, but too much for medicaid, screw him you got yours, ACA is better than nothing. Although nothing is exactly what he got.
For the person that can't afford the insurance, much less co-pays and out of pocket expenses, well screw them, you got yours, they'll just have to pay their penalty to support yours.
For the undocumented immigrant who doesn't qualify, well tough, you got yours.
For the single payer folks that were locked out of the discussion from the start, and locked up by Bacuus, well screw them, you got yours, that's good enough.
It's not that many of us don't understand that some are better off, we also understand all those left behind.
