Projection

Looks like for the project weโ€™re about to do that I keep cryptically alluding to on the site, weโ€™re about to get fucked over by Obamacare.

No surprise โ€“ it was always designed to fork more money over to insurance companies. Thatโ€™s the only reason it became law; it was a bug, not a feature, that it helped anyone at all. That was absolutely incidental, no matter what Obama intended. That my fellow liberals act all rapturous about the ACA disgusts me since itโ€™s such a corporate handout.

For us, given the amount of money we have vs. the yearly fine vs. the risk of of a bankrupting injury at this point itโ€™d make sense to just pay the fine and pay any doctorโ€™s expenses out of pocket since we can afford everything but, say, a kidney transplant and the like.

Thatโ€™s a risk/reward scenario a lot of people our age are making now, and thatโ€™s how itโ€™s going to come out for many of them.
