But self-employed Americans like this hairdresser have fewer, more expensive options




People are incentivised to do their job. If that job is to go over people's applications and look for any fraud, well that's just their job.

What a mean-spirited way to earn a living - trying to find ways to duck out of paying healthcare bills and dumping sick customers!

Is this how America treats its sick?


Everybody has to do what they have to do to make sure THEY have the necessities of life.

Again, you're not answering the question about how this hairdresser, and millions of other Americans like her who are self-employed or work in small businesses, can provide themselves with the necessity of affordable healthcare


This reminds me of the problem we are having now with the adjustable rate mortgages and people saying they "didn't know" what they were getting into. Even though all the facts are on the TIL disclosure.
