I believe access to affordable health care is a basic human right, yes. Supporting me in this belief is the fact that such access is a feature included in the citizenship of every other developed nation on this planet. My question is.....why the expectation that America should not be held accountable for this by it's citizens? I just don't get the free pass America has been given on this one for years.

Sure. Change your perception of "affordable" and get with this program of the President. Stop eating a few times a week and build your emergency fund to $6,000. Or wait--heres a thought-- forgo trips to Austria and other European countries.
Not to pick on you exclusively, I simply Do. Not. Believe . People....when they say they "cant afford" something when I see obvious spending in other areas. Their activities n belie their words.
Like I said, you are not the only person I know (two sets of friends) who claim they cant afford anything like an ACA premium or deductions YET they have vacation properties and multiple houses and brand new kitchens and bathrooms and etc.
so,yeah, sorry. I dont believe you.

Iso,yeah, sorry. I dont believe you.[/QUOTE The trip to Europe? My Mom paid most of it with money she inherited back in 2012/2013. I used the remainder of the money I inherited to pay for my part of the trip. I now have $600 of this money left which is sitting in a Roth IRA. I am out of debt thanks to this windfall but I also am pulling in around 18K a year.....True story. Wanna send over an accountant/auditor? It could be argued that I should not have travelled.....not willing to die before seeing the Homeland one last time. If that's unacceptable......what AM I doing in this country, come to think of it? As a side note, it's very nice to be done with credit cards and have them out of my life though......very much a blessing. Rob
Beyond what I posted above, does anyone else see insanity in my being in a subsidized ACA plan I can't afford to use but keep to avoid a fine and I still have to cross the border for health care? Anyone else think this is crazy? Rob
When hearing about the ACA I never thought it was going to come with such high deductibles that people would not be able to afford to use it. I don't think others thought that either.
Same here.....and I still agree with IL's long ago post that there would be winners and losers with the ACA. She was right in my book. I am a two time winner. Once for qualifying for Medicaid and now for only living three hours from Mexico. Rob
Maybe it would have helped if the Democrats read it before they signed it.

Yes, it is insane. I don't understand why you still support the same people who forced it upon you.
Plus, as a word of caution, this is what happens when you allow the government to assume control over your life.

We should model it after what other countries have successfully done.
So true.....so very very true. Rob
