  How is ObamaCare Paid For?
 
ObamaCare is paid for by collected taxes, penalties, spending cuts, and reformations to the health care industry. This money is used to fund the program, subsidize health insurance for tens of millions, improve Medicare, expand Medicaid to 15 million, and more.

If my tax dollars mean a higher quality of life for a fellow American, then I'm happy to chip in.

I'm sure you will get a wide range of opinions, but I really haven't had any issues with either other than Express Scripts removing some prescriptions that were covered one year not being covered the following year. BCBS of Texas has actually been very helpful with any issues that I have had. Again, I'm sure there are some horror stories out there, but I just don't have one.

Even fellow NON- Americans? Don't want to start a political fireball here, but this is a legitimate question.

Actually government is causing the rapid cost increase in insurance - remember it's a huge bill with lots of coverage companies need to apply - almost every company must increase insurance costs

If someone is here legally (citizen, green card,naturalized, etc.), then yes.

If someone is here legally (citizen, green card,naturalized, etc.), then yes.

The problem is that you pay for health insurance through your payroll deduction and then you and the rest of your fellow citizens are paying again.
 
Is your fellow immigrant paying their fair share?
