(2,851 posts)How is someone who can't even afford to go a doctor or pay for a prescription going to pony up with the moola to open a HSA or file for a fucking tax credit?
The folks in Kentucky and elsewhere who are going to be thrown off their health coverage and face the overwhelming challenge of their lives just trying to stay alive. Many of these people are gravely ill as it is. Many aren't able to work as they battle their illnesses or chronic, crippling diseases. How in hell are these folks going to be able to put together the financial wherewithal to survive? What about the parents of that 26 year old, now covered because of the mandate from the ACA, is thrown off their policies and he goes out and gets in an auto accident or a skiing injury that results in hospitalization, surgery and a long recovery? What about all the people, like myself, with preexisting conditions?
Fucking tax credits and HSA are for people who have lucrative enough employment that might, might be able to scrape together a few coins at the end of the month. For those that are working at McDonalds, forget about it. They just need to eat and put a roof over their heads. It's back to the county public hospital's ER for all their healthcare - which all the taxpayers will be footing the bills for. Tax credit? What a fucking joke! It would amount to nothing more than a tiny partial reimbursement for the higher taxes the poor and middle class are going to be screwed over with by these Billionaire Boys Club members.
Fuck them all.
