Please explain to me why the Affordable Care Act is called the Affordable Care Act? I'm 25 years old and have been paying $106 a month with a $2,500 deducible since I was 21. Today, I received "the letter".
So now I need to pay $213 a month with a $6,300 deductible, and I get maternity care! I'm single and besides that, I'm a man! But yes, I can keep my insurance. The only problem is that I can't afford it. Thank you Obama.
And by the way, I did not vote for him, so don't blame me for Obamacare.
