    It appears that the choice many are going to opt for is to simply forgo insurance. Which is really extra fun because that means even if they’re injured in an accident they didn’t cause, they can still be on the hook for thousands of dollars if they are taken to a hospital.

    Added bonus: Less people on insurance means higher rates for the rest as the pain can’t be spread around any more.

      It’s almost like that’s what the individual mandate was supposed to do. This country is so stupid, single payer just makes sense but no, dEaTh PaNeLs, as if that’s not what fucking Aetna has always done.

        The country is not stupid, we are under siege from an aggressive oligarchy that is waging class war. We NEED to organize and fight back.

          Yes but also this country is stupid as fuck. I’m not particularly bright but I swear to god I’m fucking Einstein compared to the average mouth breather you encounter in the day to day. I legitimately can’t understand how some of my co-workers don’t manage to drown in the shower they’re that fucking stupid. And that’s like the average person, not even the really fucking dumb ones. Go talk to people at Walmart for an hour. Americans are stupid as fuck.
