Of course you like your plan. Cause someone else (like me) is paying the other $97.00 for your office visit and the other $125.00 for your prescriptions. What did you think happened, office calls suddenly got cheaper? What happened, is you got a free ride while someone else got stuck with your bill. Of course you like ObamaCare.

Agree 1000%. And the purpose of the plan was to make healthcare affordable for those who could not afford it, not to allow people to quit their jobs and vacation for the rest of their lives. People would be shouting from the rooftops if Popbeavers said they found out they could screw off at work so they get fired and then have the government subsidize their retirement through unemployment, food stamps and welfare. But the government subsidizing their retirement through taxpayers paying for their insurance is just met with a shrug. Good thing is, their income will soon drop below the minimum threshold and if they want to continue to get government subsidized insurance they will have to accept Medicaid, which has a juicy clawback provision, so all that "free care" they will be getting will be paid back when they die and the IRS takes lead position for their estate.
