But you don't have to jump over anything if you just ask the question why...that is exactly my point...and I would bet if the poll had ask the question why don't you want the ACA the answer would be "I can't afford it no matter what it costs"
And sure there are subsidies from the government to the insurance companies but they will still have to come up with something...and from what I read it will be about 100 bucks a month...which sounds like a bargain if you make 50k or more a year, but if you are working two minimum wage jobs you don't have even that much to spend.

But I know where you got the idea I went to J-school...but your sure read a lot into that sentence...I am glad I did not mention medical school or you would have thought I was claiming to be a doctor.
