Cheapest plan on the marketplace is $500/month with a $16,000 deductable.

I'm likely to slap someone still promoting Obamacare over Medicare for All.
Next person who defends Obamacare, ask them:

1. Are you on Obamacare?

If they say no, slap them (politically speaking)

If they say yes, ask them:

2. Do you get Premium Tax Credit?
Yes? don't slap them because they're dirt poor.

If they say no, offer them condolences
Obamacare is saying: we're going to get you access to healthcare and so long as you are poor, you'll still pay at least $50 - $100 a month that you need to keep your lights on. If you're just above poor, well get ready to get f*cked boyo.

But hey, you've got access, amirite
And though I'm tweeting rather recklessly because I just got my ACA sticker shock, the truth is this is what you get when LIBS embrace conservative ideas:

A warm, fuzzy, sentimental veneer atop a brutal "free market" extraction of wealth from working people.

I thank God, the universe, and baby jesus my wife and I are absolutely privileged enough to be extremely healthy and could skip health insurance for years while we were independent contractors. But we're turning 40 & something tells me our check engine lights could start flashing
