Anybody in here 60 years old earning $50K a year? If so, are you getting healthcare for $6K a year??

Where did you come up with $15K a year for insurance for a 60 year old? I am 53 and healthy, I pay $16,200 a year with Obammmacare...Trumpcare is sounding better already!

Fvck that - those young people should pay more for something they use less! Who cares if they are at the stage of life when they are having kids and buying homes...and there should be no choices given...fvck those kids, that's why we had em!

Please explain this tax break. Is it a tax deduction for being rich, as opposed to a tax credit for being poor? How much does a person need to have to be considered eligible (rich=assets and income)?
