This is all of course just talking about premiums, we haven't even talked about the fact that this 200 dollar a month healthcare plan only covers 60% of medical costs after a 6,000 dollar deductible.

In other words Obamacare is a useless piece of shit legislation and no one should really be defending this legislation any longer.
If you're only making 10k per year, I think you have a lot more concerns than just that!

I thought most of the values that were being thrown around were just for illustrative purposes for how the law works. If those are the actual values for the credits/etc, then yes, that would not be good. But hey, at least preventative care is taken care of with that premium?


Additionally, there is always the option of accepting the penalty instead of paying the premiums and obtaining the health insurance. If the penalty is only $500, it would be a more viable option than the premium + credit.
