Let the rest of us pilot it. Assholes.

The thing they hate worst about it is that workers can choose to tell them to stick it if they can afford subsidized insurance. I can go run a hotdog stand on the beach if I can afford healthcare. I can be an artist. Or keep working at that cafe where I love all the customers. I don't have to make all my choices based on their offering of crumbs. If I am underemployed, I can still be healthy. This is a new reality for many Americans that has not sunk in for us yet. They can't scare us with the specter of being sick and destitute. If we need it, very inexpensive insurance will be there for us.

It isn't perfect and maybe it will not help higher income workers that much, but it is a safety net we don't have now. So Rubio can go fuck himself.
