What were the poor doing before ACA? The emergency room was their primary care physician. Who do you think paid for that? Higher fees at the hospital equaled higher cost to insurance companies, which was past along to the healthy.

What the hell is the difference now? The poor do have healh insurance, and are paying for it less credits depending on their income.

As for your Publix example, the person on front of you handed the cashier $53. in food stamps. Who is paying for the food stamps?

That clown that he have for president stated, "Obamacare was a gift to the health insurance companies as pay back for the donations that the Democrats received from the health insurance companies." The man is operating without a clue. Obamacare was modeled after a plan put forward by the Heritage Foundation, a right wing organization. The Democrats want a single payer plan that would eliminate health insurance companies.
