I think I saw on another story they said it would be breaks for like 350 people (but I can't find that story now). So, I mean, you could also come up with the headline from when Obamacare started:

350 forced to pay for health insurance for 22 million people

I almost feel sorry for those 350 people. People are forced to work in order to survive. People are forced to study in order to work. People are forced to go through many awkard (sometimes humilliating) recruitment processes in order to get a job. People are forced to work in order to get health insurance. People are forced to starve because they don't get a job. People are forced to die of disease because they can't afford healthcare...But people should never be forced to pay for the health care of 22 million other people. That's going too far. How devastating it may be for those poor 350 people.

Our unemployed are probably the fattest people in this country. So I assure you I have little concern for them starving.

I have no problem paying for the healthcare of those who genuinely can't work. But maybe some of the 22 million is people just making bad choices. We also have a government that's terrible with money which adds to the problem.

Obamacare didn't find way to make healthcare more affordable per se. We just just threw more money at it. Helping others fine and dandy until people suddenly find themselves paying significantly more for healthcare. If you're gonna force people to pay for healthcare maybe it should be more affordable.

Wasn't that the idea of Obamacare? We'll all be forced to pay in so that will naturally make it more affordable. I don't think it worked out.
