    Individual mandate

    The one that forces you to buy health insurance? God I hope not, that shit fucked me over so bad. The insurance I qualified for on the exchanges was dogshit with a $5000 deductible that I couldn't afford even after getting a subsidy, and I couldn't afford to pay the penalty either so I just skipped filing my taxes the years that it was in effect. I could've really used the tax refund I usually get but the penalty would've taken all of it and then charged me a few hundred dollars on top of that.

      You and the majority of America wish for government run healthcare and can't afford the deductible for insurance (let alone the max out of pocket). BJG harps on this shit all day and night on Twitter.
