(32,086 posts)Same shit, different assholes. My state is not participating in the Medicaid expansion, nor the exchanges. I have no income, so I don't make enough to get a subsidy, because those are only for people who make too much for Medicaid. But, since I have no children, I don't qualify for Medicaid. Since I have no income, I can't afford $400-500/month for a relatively useless "catastrophic" plan. So, I continue to go without.
I don't blame Obama, either. He got the best he could get under the circumstances, and it's helping a lot of people. Just not all of us. And, it's definitely more than anyone else has gotten for people. The blame needs to placed on those who would rather see people like you and me just drop dead, rather than risk some imagined blotch on their political careers. Fuck 'em. I hope there's a hell, because they're all going to burn in it. That includes you, Nikki Haley, you slimy POS.
