    No, this happens in states like MA/Cali too.

    Household size

    • 1 person max income $60,240

    If thats the case then @[email protected] is saying they make more than $61k/year and can’t afford $264/month with a $6300 annual deductible?

      Maybe you should look into what that bronze plan actually covers. if you have any real medical issues you’re definitely losing of a minimum 15% of your income in just medical expenses. Never mind taxes, food, housing, transport, clothing, saving for retirement (which this hypothetical person almost certainly can’t do on 61k). Never mind the idea of having your own place, a family, etc.

      But I guess you think people should just work just so they can pay medical bills. :shrug:

        Really? I haven’t been rude to you yet in this conversation. Are you interested continuing in conversing together on the topic or your the strawman a requirement?

          Never said you were rude. does pointing out the logical conclusion of the information you linked and how it related to my point upset you? it certainly should. it upsets me. Its why I pointed it out to you to begin with.

          So exactly what were you trying to discuss with me in this thread. I was simply informing you that ACA is no legislative success even in wealthy and cooperative blue states.
