GOP / conservatives think the poor need a good kick in the backside, not handouts

The GOP loves poor people! They're so useful.

precisely NOTHING. IOW what existed before EMTALA [the law that said ERs had to take all comers] was passed in the 80s. IOW the GOPers/MAGAs seeing people dying in the streets would give them their jollies.

There is no plan to replace Obamacare, as the right believes the poor don't deserve medical care.

Is un-American just a synonym for things they don't like?

They should earn it! Study for it! Work for it! If the get into a professional type job, then they can earn the privilege of healthcare. How hard can it be to work your way through college while you have an untreated disease? /sarcasm

These are the same people who claim to be the defenders of Christianity, but then ask why they need to care for those least among them.

It forced poor people to pay a $695 fine if they didn't buy health insurance (that they couldn't afford).

How is that any different from penalising them for not paying their taxes?

Ezra and I have explained this to you ad nauseum.

a. You appear to get fully subsidized.
b. Most don't.
c. Here is a chart .. using a family of three ... at merely $25,000 household income .. $500 is not subsidized.

Image

d. Here is a chart .. using a family of one ... at merely $15,000 household income .. $300 is not subsidized.

Why have sympathy for poor people about the ACA, when you otherwise think all they deserve is a kick in the a$$?

Rich people have insurance. They weren't the ones paying the penalty.

The ACA penalty was siphoning millions of dollars off poor/middle class people.

I care, because it's disgusting to have a law that penalizes people into buying something they may not want, may not need, and may not be able to afford.
