Anyone know if the Senate changed the financial hardship exemption?

[usregimechange]

Anyone have details on what is in the current bill about this and if it has changed? Individual mandates suck if their is not enough assistance to make it affordable.

1. To tell you the truth

I can't keep up with it all. Any mandate will be bad for the poor. All I know is that I can't afford any more bills. There's not enough work for us construction workers. If I have problems with my health, and at 59, I know they're not far away, I will have to suck it up or die.

3. Would you fall under an hardship exemption?

[panader0]

4. Yes

[clear eye]

5. The good news is that if you're unemployed enough, you won't have to buy insurance.

The bad news is that they'll put you in Medicaid until you're 65. (And medicaid stinks.)

6. I don't know my copays and premiums stink a lot too

7. If you're getting chest pains and the nearest cardiologist is 50 mi. away and booked solid for 5

weeks, even expensive insurance starts to look good.

8. Their are waiting lists for private plans as well but I hear you
