This same woman put herself through law school while working three jobs and now has a salary above $100K making her unqualified for any subsidies.

Meanwhile the woman who works one job at McDonald's, too lazy to finish even high school needs maternity care so screw the lawyer. She's lucky someone built the road she travelled on to law school and her three jobs.
When I was in my 20's, as a thin, healthy, nonsmoker, I had to pay $300 a month for my health insurance and I was making barely $30,000 a year. Forgive me if I am not weeping for a woman earning over $100K having to pay a lower percentage of her salary towards health care than I did.

Nice straw man, or rather, straw woman, you built out of thin air there at the end. My new dog is barking from that whistle.

I was talking about Shaniqua Davis. She's from the Bronx NY, works at McDonald's, never more than 40 hours, is on welfare, with a one year old child and an unemployed boyfriend who barely can afford taxi rides or her cable TV.

She's no straw woman she's Shaniqua Davis.

goodness, what kind of coverage/deductibles?
my son is 25 and a smoker, his didn't cost nearly that much-less than $100/month.
