    Shockingly, things that help other people besides you can still be important. Also, unless you were making 4x the federal poverty level, you got a subsidy to make the insurance more affordable. You probably just didn’t apply for it.

      Shockingly, things that strangle the middle class are not good for the middle class or the country as a whole.

      Also, it’s weird that you’re treating “4x the poverty level” as if it’s a decent living. The poverty level in 2014 was $11,000. So a person making slightly more than 4x that would be paying a quarter of their pre-tax income towards health insurance at $800/mo. You’re as out of touch with reality as Obama was.
