According to the Kaiser ACA premium calculator , a single, nonsmoker age 45 earning $8,000 a year (part time minimum wage job or a full time job bartending/waitressing) in a state that did not expand Medicaid would have to pay 50% of their income towards health insurance.

For little to no benefit to the individual other than making it easier for the government to subsidize treatment at hospitals while some white collar rich ass with several insurance worker certifications rolls around in a paycheck that trickles up to the CEO's pleasure palace out of country.

I'm so glad this is what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life.

IMO the best option would be to let us all rot without insurance but force this measure on anyone who makes over $400,000 USD yearly. Make them pick from these plans and bar all other insurance. You know because those rich asses are so valuable and important to our society. We couldn't have them getting sick on top of their piles of cash.

Even better force the Congresscritters and president to take the bronze plan by default. To save on government spending.

***Income number used as arbitrary as the numbers for these insurance plans, nothing personal.

****At least currently for this very moment I'm an out of work "veteran" with no income who is a dependent. This means I have access to tricare free of charge. Wonder if there is a loophole somewhere for me?
