    To those who dismiss people who want health insurance coverage by saying ” you just want Obamacare for free”

    No.
    Uninsured people who are getting health insurance for the first time are actually paying now, when they were not paying before.
    Obamacare only supplies a subsidy to those who are earning low wages, not free health insurance when you earn more than $11,000 a year. Most people are paying what they can afford according to their incomes, where they paid zero before.
    It is ridiculous to accuse them of wanting something for nothing, when the reality is that now they are paying more than they did before, when they could not afford insurance..

    Actually the true Free Loaders are the Republicans who are going without insurance.
    These are the people who do wind up getting sick,
    and do windup going to the emergency room,
    and do windup leaving a huge hospital bill that they can never afford to pay.
    These accusers are the very freeloaders they accuse others of being.
