So they do get it.  Thanks retarded person. 

You shouldn't use such a vile insult, especially on someone that just schooled you.

[The Real timschochet 7,542]

The issue of wealthy people getting ACA benefits is a red herring. How do I know? Because moderate Republicans have spent the last several weeks attempting to come up with a compromise plan that would extend the subsidies but restrict people with too much income from getting them. The leadership killed the amendment because (a) they don’t want to extend the subsidies period and (b) the amount of wealthy people who actually take advantage of ACA is so small as to be almost irrelevant; it’s simply a Republican talking point.

It’s the same old tropes I remember all the way back to the 80s. Any kind of government benefits are labeled as communist, and anybody that uses them is a lazy welfare queen.

Except for all the people who get free Medicare or free public schools or drive on free public roads or use the library, etc….

People love getting free stuff; but many hate it when somebody else gets free stuff. It’s nuts that people living a good life get angry when the child of destitute person gets free lunch at school, or in this case - health insurance.

You're telling this to @Horsemanure, which @JuneJuly is an alias of. He's one of the few "people" here that can go toe-to-toe with HT in raw inhumanity and fuckery. This is the guy that openly rooted for the LA fires, pissed off Old Maid enough for her to leave, and posted a swastika on the forum. Actually, he's worse than HT, who may actually care about someone other than himself deep down. Horsemanure is a legit waste of carbon and oxygen.

Says I'm on ignore but can't stop talking about me.  So weak.

People who retire early, quite a bit early, would be considered wealthy yes?   Choices are paying full price ar having a plan to take advantage of the subsidies.  I pay $175/mo now compared to Cobra which was $1,400.  And I could manage my MAGI easy enough to pay $0, but, I want to convert as much retirement funds as I can to Roth.  Could do a lot more if the stupid Republicans would just extend the covid subsidies and get rid of the cliff.  

You really should try educating yourself instead of regurgitating msnbc.

None of that is truly free Einstein.  But you're right, it's irritating that freeloaders get a bunch of free stuff because of the taxes I pay.

There is still hope...

House Democrats' discharge petition to force a vote on a three-year extension of the Obamacare subsidies just reached 218 signatures — the threshold needed to force that vote — following the signatures of Mike Lawler, Rob Bresnahan, Ryan Mackenzie, and Brian Fitzpatrick.

So rich people are going to keep their subsidies? Meeeery Christmas! 

Hope so.  

I've got like 14 years or so before RMDs kick in an it's still impossible to convert it all. Nice problem to have I guess.

MAGA House Republicans slammed the door on affordable health care. By a 204–203 vote, the GOP-controlled House blocked a Democratic bill to extend ACA subsidies. Leadership cut the vote short, even as members were still trying to vote.

You were quoted by someone NOT on ignore, genius.

Know what'll get me to stop talking about you though? Going away again for a good long while. That'll get me to shut up. At least until someone starts discussing the bored's biggest pr1cks. Either that or stop being such an intolerable dooshbag POS, which I suspect is so deeply engrained that it's a hopeless endeavor. Anyone that would post a focking swastika here is beyond help.

Hey @Fnord, don't you have a job, some HR to do or something?   Maybe focus on that instead of me?

Friendly advice. Just trying to help a struggling brother out.

I'm OK with poors using our roads as long as they are insured.  They need to grow up and learn to provide for their families themselves though.
