brookie,
didn't a Minnesota, young man die because he made too much to qualify for the cheap plan, made a whopping $36K. Rationed his insulin because you and your pretend liberals didn't give to craps about the poor and think it thru. Screw you guys are your faux concern. Obama is a wall street shill. End of story. HE DIED because you didn't care. Obama didn't care. We are sick of you pretends. Sick of the R and D game. TAATS. You hate the poor, brookie. you just do.

His mother helped him look for a health plan on the marketplace set up by the Affordable Care Act, but his options were expensive. To keep going to the same doctors, she says, he was looking at paying about $450 monthly, in addition to a high deductible of more than $7,000, which would mean months of paying out-of-pocket for most of his medical care. He opted to go without insurance, forgoing that expense to focus on paying for his insulin and supplies until he could find a better option.
Guess he should have learned to code.
Actually, it is your pals in Congress who are responsible for higher pharmaceutical costs:

By contrast,
Senator John McCain proposed a plan that focused on making health care more affordable. ... Barack Obama called for universal health care. His health care plan called for the creation of a National Health Insurance Exchange that would include both private insurance plans and a Medicare-like government run option.

That's 900,000 in this needless holocaust over a twenty year period which means it's you delusional right wingers who hate the poor. By the way, as those who read my posts on the subject in our old forum well know, I have called for the same universal health care system in the USA that they have in Europe, in Japan, and in Israel which, strangely enough, is financed by USA taxpayers. Therefore, everybody knows that it is people like me who actually care for the poor unlike so many righties.
