I originally asked:

"If you are that poor, do you think you can afford above a "bronze" plan with subsidies?"

'you said:

"I have already looked at the numbers. Yep. I'll be able to afford a decent plan."

Then now you say:

"FYI, I will now be able to afford..........the el cheapo Kaiser $200/mo plan"

So, do you know what the actuarial value of that plan is? What will be the co-pays and deductibles.


"it is FABULOUS compared to nothing"

Depends. If you can't afford to use it, you are not only shit-out-of-luck, but you've already put some money on the table. Its like having to fold before the river in poker.


"I don't think there should be ANY tiers"

Me neither. Its beyond disgusting that its will be so with this bill. It reinforces, by law, the correlation between access to care and wealth.
