I assume that every Democratic victory in 2018 is going to be called Russian interference by the Trump administration, much like they seamlessly co-opted the idea of fake news, so we have that to look forward to.

jokes on you there will be no democratic victories in 2018

Affordable Care Act working great, delicate array of tax credits & subsidies causing no problems:

"I messed up so bad - owe the Feds $6800. Is there anything I can do?

I’m not usually an idiot, but 2017 was a bad year. I just retired at 62, and 2017 was the first year I didn’t have health insurance through work. Went to Healthcare.gov and picked a plan and estimated my “greatly reduced” annual income. I received subsidies to help with the premium payments. Later in the year I needed some rather expensive home repairs, so I took money out of my retirement plan. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I just didn’t realize this would be counted as income. Long story short. Filing taxes, and the disbursement put me over the 400 % poverty guideline (just by a couple grand), so I have to pay back the entire amount of the subsidies I received. I don’t have any way to reduce my AGI that I can think of. I am single with no dependents. Both my daughter and my brother lived with me for part of the year, and I paid the majority of expenses. They helped with groceries though and file taxes on their own. Am I just totally screwed? Just sick over this. I don’t have any health issues, and only went to the Dr. once in 2017 for a general check up. Should I consult with a tax specialist?"

That gets him roughly a third of the way there tax free, but still, money isn't free. How does he fund the HSA on a non-worker's income? America is loving broken. Y'all are hosed. Root for hell world to cause a collapse, it'll certainly happen before democrats more a millimeter to the left.

i told a friend that what america needs is to get democratic politicians addicted to eve so that they can get boners doing space spreadsheets instead of the hell realm of some dem actuary popping a boner doing long hand earned income tax credit calculations.

i actually had a small panic attack last year working on a product enhancement that's basically some tax advantaged bank account that is for medical expenses. yes, m4a or single payer is incredibly unrealistic because of the complexities of health care, unlike requiring 17 special tax advantaged accounts (some pre, some post) to not die in america in tyool 2018.

I wish I could sleep soundly after a long day of generating actuarial formulas to convince middle America that they are better off just paying for the super simple wonk product. however, I’m not a dnc consultant living in McLean VA.

good on you for the panic attack. I’ve had them too. I’m not shy to say my wife and I gave up and sought better treatment in Sweden after five years of stressing about medical bills in Oklahoma.

At least he's not that guy who tried to guilt trip people by complaining that with M4A poor, honest insurance adjusters like him would be out of job.
