I recently learned that the Obamacare subsidies (discounts) for premiums are driven strictly by income, not by assets. Thus, you can have a billion dollars in the bank, retire early, and get Obamacare for next to nothing. However, if are self employed, your salary is one dollar above the cutoff, barely making ends meet, you will pay full fare for premiums (e.g. $900-1200 per month) for the same coverage your billionaire, early retired neighbor gets for pennies.
It’s worse than that NN, the gummit crooks were taking money of my first paycheck in the 70’s and they still do it today whether you use Medikrap or not, plus you are forced on it if you decide to take SS. The crookedness goes on...
When the Kenyan Krap was passed I knew it was too late for the America that I knew way back and quickly came to hate the GOPe more that the rats and still do. The dems as you know are all socialists/communists and cannot be swayed - end of sentence, they are what the they are. OTOH the GOPe gives you a choice between soft socialism and commiedom, neither one is acceptable. They worked behind the scenes to pass that biggest piece of socialism in the history of the USA but exempted themselves - and the uniparty has won it all. Sad.
