(2,056 posts)I live in one of the states that did not expand medicaid or create it's own marketplace. Even with a subsidy there is no way in hell I could afford those deductibles. I would not get care. I'm a single mother of a disabled child. I don't even have a car because I had to sell it so I could pay the rent one month. It was an old 1994, so it wasn't a great car anyhow. But hey, whatever I have to do to keep a roof over my kids' head.
Who came out and talked about trying to help struggling families over the rising costs of Obamacare when the news about rates going up came out? It sure as hell wasn't the Dems. I kept saying on here that Hillary needed to come out fast and say she knew it was an issue and was prepared to work hard to fix it. She didn't do that and some here scoffed at the suggestion I made that she needed to address it. That is an example of the snobbery that can be found with some liberals that really, really turn people off. That same happy horseshit is EXACTLY why I will never register as a Democrat. I can't stand that holier than thou sanctimonious BS.
