In an ironic twist, Obamacare is now responsible for millions of impoverished Americans going without healthcare.
That’s right – because of the way the Affordable Care Act is structured, many people who fall below the federal poverty line, but live in states that didn’t adopt expanded Medicaid coverage, no longer qualify for any federal healthcare subsidies at all.
You see, Obamacare’s federal subsidies apply only to those making between one and four times the federal poverty limit, or between roughly $12,000 and $47,000.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
