obviously doesn't care enough about making the program successful"

So it's not about health care, it's about making Barry's program successful like a good comrade would. Notice they're calling it Obamacare, not the AFFORDABLE Care Act (that isn't so affordable). $800 a month in student loans? Obviously he went to a school he could not afford in the least! Hope he had a good time!

Occasionally, for grins and giggles , I visit the DUmp to do opposition research. What TC got from his lib cohorts IS par for the course. The LiberalPretzelLogic that makes leftie DUmmies blindly, rabidly support ObamaCare (and EBT, ObamaPhones, and students RIGHTS to a Masters Degree in BasketWeavingArtistry of Germanic LGTB Artisans in Bronze Age) TURNS against those who DARE say they can’t afford ObamaCare.

Suddenly, cell phones (but poor MUST have an obamaPhone) are a UNNECESSARY; apt choices (obviously racist neighborhood choice) educational background (what IS your Masters in if you can’t find a job???) are ALL fair game for CONTEMPT when the poster says “I can’t afford ACA.”

There is STILL a portion of Koolaid drinkers who will DEFEND ObamaCare til their last high copay and deductible breath.

It’s fun to read!

Translation: Make someone else pay what I don’t want to pay.

When your support depends on having the other guy pay for it, it must really disappoint to find out that you are the other guy.

>>“Hand sandwiches”?

That does sound a little extreme.>>

Not at all. Sounds nice and crunchy, especially with some hot sauce.

Don’t worry, a “bipartisan compromise” will save the day.

The Democrats get: raising the debt limit to $60 trillion and printing enough money to give every woman and person of color $4000/year to buy Obamacare.

The Republicans get Obamacare Premium Savings Accounts for all others, where money accumulates tax-free until age 60, when they have to pay it all back out of their obscene 1%-er profits earned by raping women and people of color. In case the profits are not enough, their assets will be seized when they die.

“It’s the best we could do”, explained Boehner and McConnell

It sounds like this guy is still delusional enough to believe that the purpose of ObamaCare is to insure people like him.

The purpose of ObamaCare is to compel people like him to pay inflated "insurance premiums" to subsidize the health care of other people.

Not allowed under obamacare. Those policies are deemed “substandard.”

“What happened to the love and compassion for the less fortunate?”

Now the leftists are against “freeloaders”. Great, hand the freeloaders the bill for their services and leave the rest of us alone. (I think Scalia said as much in open court.) Unfortunately, leftists are not against the freeloaders. They just use such words in the moment to advance their agenda.

The leftists will say anything, at any time, even if it contradicts what they said at any previous moment in order to advance their agenda for power without regard to those whom they try to crush and destroy (intentionally or not).

Hand sandwiches


pretty sure hands are hard to find. After you eat your left hand, it’s almost impossible to prepare and eat your right one ;)

“The purpose of ObamaCare is to compel people like him to pay inflated “insurance premiums” to subsidize the health care of other people. “

Especially all these aging, leftist baby boomers who believe this country owes it to them based on the lie of a “social contract” between government and citizen... no matter the cost to this country, even if it destroys this great country and its founding principles and institutions.

The guy is the usual LIB bonehead asshat. He will never awaken. His $800/month “degree” is really paying off...$55K/year in a restaurant..in NYC. Obviously, the guy has some long-standing judgement problems.

Don’t worry. The next act is “give me health care for free and make the ‘rich’ pay for it.” Problem solved!

“But that’s only for the first year, right? IIRC it escalates pretty significantly by 2016 or 2017.”

No, I actually went with the higher number that won’t kick in for a few years. This year (actually next year at tax time) it’s only 1% or $95 whichever is higher.

I think 2.5% is the highest permitted under the statute, but who knows what that means with this group, although Obama will be gone by then.

So, it wasn’t really right to use 2.5 with the guy’s current income, but I was going for worst case. And sure, his income might be higher in a few years, but so would his insurance cost, in all likelihood.

"Hand sandwiches, no movies and get rid of the phone. It's easy"

A hand sandwich must be the kinder, gentler version of a knuckle sandwich. Are they served in a velvet glove?

Now the leftists are against “freeloaders”... They just use such words in the moment to advance their agenda.

Actually, it's part of their false theology that the freeloaders are simply rebelling against monopoly capital, and that, once the bosses are exterminated, today's freeloaders will become tomorrow's high achievers.

In their communist anthem (l'Internationale), they go so far as to say, "L'oisifs ira loger ailleurs" (The lazy ones will have to move out).

The entire conceptual foundation of Marxism is false. It's a shame nobody studies it anymore.

Early on, Metallica couldn’t even afford bread. The cheap meat went right in the palm and that was it - the invention of the hand sandwich.
