The 'control by interest payments' is a huge reason that I got on the Dave Ramsey plan many years back. I don't have as many things as I may have if I just borrowed to buy everything but I do know what I really own.

Now if there was just a Dave Ramsey plan to get away from paying tax on everything I would really feel free.

Well, interest is never-ending and you really don't have to do anything once a person slips the noose around his neck to make money. Great work if you can get it I suppose. (Sarcasm)

That answer is easy. We are controlled by a set of bankers who want us in perpetual debt. The better question is how a three judge panel in DC actually came to the conclusion that A = A.

That's why I asked my question.

Np.
My bad.

An intelligent solution from Washington? I think not.

Healthcare across state lines makes just too much sense. Perhaps it can be set up via WalMart!

Some things don't come over well in written form like they do when spoken. Sorry for the confusion, Eudaimonia.

If they can open competition between states I really think that would make a huge difference. Also if I could pick what I really want and not what I am told I want that could also lower my costs.

I am a 50 year old male so I have somewhat limited needs. I have an HSA so I pay for my visits to the doctor, my pills if needed and so on. Catastrophic coverage is what i really need and what I had in the past. In the past my max out of pocket was $2500 a year and now I dont even know if I can get coverage like that even if I could afford it.

For the most part what I have had to do over the years is work harder and hope that I can out-earn the stupid stuff that I have no control over. I don't want or need a handout but I also wish I could buy what I need not what I am told.

Sorry.
Missed that.

If today's ruling is upheld, I think that those who needed the tax subsidy for Obamacare to be affordable would no longer be required to get Obamacare because their state doesn't have its own exchange. Proving a lack of affordability, aye, that's the rub.

That was why my prior post was with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek.

Michigan where I live is one of the places with no exchange so there are going to be a lot of unhappy people around here.

I work for myself so I have to purchase my own insurance but don't get Obamacare. Over the past 4 - 6 years my cost have gone sky high and I have had to raise my deductible from $2500 a year to $10000 a year just to keep the monthly cost down to something that i can afford.

Uh... no.

If the Supreme Court has to hear this case, given their previous ruling, can they be considered to be fair and impartial arbiters?
