Really. So... if I worked for a small business in the tech center, and I am a contractor, and of course I can't be offered any medical insurance plan by them, I can't sign up for the ACA? I thought this program was suppose to fill in the gaps for people who don't have health insurance? You mean it's only for the poverty poor? Then how does this equate to health care for all? The poor are not the only people who don't have access to affordable health insurance?

Obama said this morning that the ACA was for all the people. Lied again I guess.

Again, work on your reading comprehension and you will be able to lift you and your family from poverty. You don't "sign" up for the ACA. If you are looking for a free handout, then you are looking at the wrong place. If you are truly in need, and make no more than 133% of the federal poverty level, then you may qualify for premium credits, and waivers on any penalty. You really should understand the issues before ripping off your comments.

LJ- if people won't be getting any more "free health care" than they get now by going to the emergency room - what's the fight for Obamacare about? You can't have it both ways. People will now get a free stamp to go to the doctor for any sniffle, sneeze or headache- especially if they are poor and can't afford the service. At least the way it was- many people stayed away from what the could not afford, unless they really needed it ie. a broken arm or an emergency.

Everyone now has a free pass to the medical system for all matters- serious OR minor. This will add to the problem.

I have no problem with poverty level folks getting food stamps or health care. But I am a contract programmer, I don't always have access to affordable health care due to my contractor status with some of my clients. The ACA is not for me?

Many companies will be reducing the number of employees to a bare minimum as a result of this law- companies like Burger King, Mc Donalds, 7-11, Walmart will no doubt be trimming their staff as they are now required to pay for health care for all employees. The fewer employees- the less exposed to Obamacare laws.

Companies that only offered minimum wage and no benefits will think twice before bringing on more staff.

This will put even more people in the health care system as deadbeats- and those of us who do make money will be paying their health care bills too. Congress can simply raise the tax over and over again as the looters out number the producers.

In fact, I'm thinking about quitting my job and finally pursuing my life long dream of playing the kazoo on the pearl street mall. I'll join up with LOL- if you can't beat the looters - join um.

It's really sad that so many posters revel in their ignorance. Have you even bothered to study the ACA before your idiotic comments.

God, I hope you do... That would be marvelous...

No need for our conservative friends here to read the law or even research it dog.....the GOP will give them their talking points and they will regurgitate them here, for all of us to enjoy.

Good. Then I should be able to hide most of my salary and get credits and waivers. Oh... and the limits set by the ACA for poverty status "Low income persons and families above the Medicaid level and up to 400% of the federal poverty level will receive federal subsidies[27] on a sliding scale if they choose to purchase insurance via an exchange (persons at 150% of the poverty level would be subsidized such that their premium cost would be of 2% of income or $50 a month for a family of 4).[28]"

Reading comprehension?. You should really understand before you go all uncivil with me.

And yes... now that the ACA has been deem constitutional, I am going to make a concerted effort to join the left and benefit as much as I can from the ACA. You'll never know the difference. Before long, I'll be just another little piece of the entitlement crowd. I'm looking forward to meeting you there.

I congratulate you on your hard work. Your quoted text duplicate my previous comments. If you meet certain income caps, then you may qualify for premium credits. As to hiding your salary in order to get handouts, tax fraud is a serious crime. Do you really want to put your family through that?

My my, what a brave new world we now live in. Just think of all of the opportunities this opens up for reforming entitlement programs. You have to purchase your own life insurance or be taxed - eliminating the need for Social Security to pay your surviving spouse and children a stipend if you happen to die while they depend on you for support. You must contribute to a pension program or be taxed - eliminating the need for the payroll taxes to fund Social Security at all when you get right down to it. This expanded power to tax economic inactivity might just be the ticket for doing away with much of the welfare state the federal government has created over the course of the last 80 years . . . . . . .

It's going to get wierd- I think the passport offices will be busy in the next year.

I don't see any limit to what the government can tax us for now- and it won't be long until we are told what we can and can't eat- after all the government pays for health care now- with more of our confiscated earnings.

2 ounce soda limit one. Mc Donalds files for bankrupcy.

My, my...the conservatives have fallen back on their last resort. The sky is falling and we're all doomed.....DOOMED.
