My hellacious health care nightmare -- Obamacare has ruined me

241. That's all correct and sadly

What you say about January even being in question is true. We're both trying to get work and he has a small odd job lined up, temporary, couple of days - so far only enough that they deduct it off your unemployment check, no net gain. But if he starts earning a little over that, but not enough to live on, it could bump our yearly income up to where he still wouldn't get a subsidy even in January. It's so discouraging...why even try to find work?

But he has to, since unemployment won't last forever, and even small jobs stretch out how long the unemployment will last.

I'm looking for paying work too, but it feels like Russian Roulette due to the rigged healthcare system.

I used to look forward to being old enough for Medicare, but now all the providers are telling me nobody should want that anymore. The doctors are refusing to see Medicare patients because of low reimbursement rates and sending them to crowded community clinics instead. I took a friend to one over the summer. He waited 6 hours and finally had to leave without even being seen.
