Stored here for the next person who posts that stupid Ashley Dionne "Obamacare has 'raped my future'" letter:
Kaiser Family Foundation subsidy calculator for the Affordable Care Act for a 21 year old living in Michigan with an income of $8/hr at 32 hours a week. Her premiums actually go from her claimed current of $75/month to a subsidized $22.34 a month, not $319 a month, although the max out of pocket could be as high as $2,250 a year, but definitely not a $6,000 deductible.
The Affordable Care Act isn't perfect, but it is a step towards getting the freeloaders insured. And even if we can't get our healthcare outcomes generally up towards those of the rest of the world, it'd be nice if we can get the portion that we pay to cover the currently under and uninsured down to something closer to reasonable.
