Obamacare works very well for my wife and myself. We would be in big trouble without it.
How much do you have to wager, what games do you have to play in Las Vegas to win $1.43 million? Did Pritzker wager on long shots or did he sit endlessly at the slots? Maybe he has a "friend" or two at the casinos?

Why do you still put up with this?
Why hasn’t this poster been punished for constantly breaking the rules you’ve repeated multiple times?
Fans from other sites can read this and this is who is representing Illini fans.
As a self-employed person, I had a cadillac plan for 10 years that Obamacare took away. I was also difficult to insure, as I had a pre-existing condition. Stop spreading BS.
Boo hoo. You lie again. You had plenty of money to retire well before 65 and have told us your investment profile is light on securities. You also said you are easily set for life.
Yet another person sucking off the tit of government who could work longer AND also could afford healthcare.
Honestly, if you would be in big trouble without it, you should have kept your job. Now we know welfare for Team Jeff is another reason you are a lib.
The left just following these leaders off a cliff. So dumb.
Jeff is against Trump despite HUGE progress on something he supposedly cares deeply about - and it is happening thanks to Trump extending the Trump tax cuts!
False.
I was self employed before and after. My healthcare became worse for more money post Obamacare.
Interesting commentary on why Dems don’t want assistance for big city issues.
Now, it's horrible for everyone, except for the less than 10% of the population that is enrolled in an ACA plan. Of that 10%, more than 90% need subsidies. What a massive failure, and it's Obama's greatest legacy.
One thing that people in the industry warned about....Obamacare is going to be nearly impossible to replace. That was the intent. The intent was for it to be so bad for everyone that we all throw up our hands and say, "OK, Medicare for all doesn't sound that bad."
This was incredibly obvious, and it was discussed regularly. Of course those that voiced those concerns were shouted down, and told that they wanted endless people to die without care.
You are among the less than 10% that it benefits. Everyone else is in big trouble subsidizing the less than 10%.
Sounds like it is great for people with means that want to retire early. It's been horrible for working age people with families.

There is no negotiating with Jeff’s new tribe. They have no decency, poor morals, no graciousness, no sense of shared common values.
So you want to hurt the middle class even more? That's the one cut you want to get rid of? You want 60+% of Americans to get an increase on their taxes when housing and healthcare are already unaffordable?
How Tax Brackets Would Change if the TCJA Expires
If Congress allows the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) to expire as scheduled, most aspects of the individual income tax would undergo substantial changes, resulting in more than 62 percent of tax filers experiencing tax increases in 2026.
