go to http://www.healthcare.gov/law/features/choices/exchanges/. I have used that site. It's remarkable. There, in one site, is a place for you to put in your data and get pages of insurance healthcare plans. You can sort by price or other criteria. There is a plan for every price point. You can find a GOOD ins. plan for LESS THAN $500 MONTH.

Third, the ACA makes sure that the ins. co. PAYS claims, to the tune of 80% or more of the premiums it charges. So you are protected from having worthless insurance that spends its money on denying you claims.

You CAN find a job with insurance. You just prefer the ones without, possibly for valid reasons. Still, it's FALSE to say you can't find a job w/o ins.

If you can't afford insurance, HOW CAN YOU AFFORD HEALTHCARE, that might well cost you way over $500/mo., after just one medical incident.

If you don't want to pay for your health care, who do you think should? Me? I'm a working person who pays, one way or the other, for my own health care. WHY SHOULD I BE FORCED TO PAY FOR YOUR HEALTH CARE?
