Affordable Care Act

I planned on making a casserole a couple of nights ago. It would have taken 20 minutes of prep and an hour in the oven. One of the kids had something come up and we didn’t have that hour to waste so I threw something together with penne, ground beef, frozen broccoli, and cheese. It wasn’t great but it hit most of the nutrition requirements and was on plates in less than 20 minutes. Total cost for a family of four (with some leftovers) was maybe $14. One of my kids can’t have gluten so all of our meals are gluten free.

When someone like me who can’t cook is able to make a fairly nutritious, gluten free meal for 4 in 20 minutes for $15, there just isn’t a lot of justification for trash food like tv dinners and hamburger helper.

I feel privilege somewhere here. I don't know where it is or how to define it but it wreaks of privilege.

Getting healthcare costs down is easy:

1 - Massively incentivize healthy people and charge the hell out of fat people
2 - Stop spending countless sums on extending the life of old people by 1 year
3 - Stop giving illegals free healthcare

We do all those things and health care costs will plummet for majority of people.

I think there are societal intrinsic benefits to a healthy population. Its always been my position.

I also want to keep the poors at bay and not have them revolt and destroy this country.

It seems obvious to me there will be a negotiated settlement to this standoff. And it will be somewhere between the parties' maximal positions.
