How's <b>that</b> deductible working for those with subsidized policies? Those subsidized insureds (low income for the most part) cannot afford medical treatment unless they go to the ER and have an actual medical emergency. Meanwhile, hospitals are having one helluva time funding the emergency departments.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-22412038664938007062016-06-05T11:37:26.872+01:002016-06-05T11:37:26.872+01:00A bill that would allow illegal immigrants to buy ...<i>A bill that would allow illegal immigrants to buy Obamacare plans with their own money</i><br /><br />Subsidized to what extent?<br /><br />Subsidy = taxpayer funded.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-89287090071060672872016-06-05T11:24:44.057+01:002016-06-05T11:24:44.057+01:00Pasto: South Carolina's wonderful.
