Me, yeah and it is not like I have a choice. Both states where my employers didn't offer insurance you can only buy on the exchanges.
Not like I haven't dumped 350k plus in various.taxes to the US government since I have been here.
Definitely feeling not welcome here.

I have not read the proposed legislation, but I'm guessing what the general news sources are not stating is if you are receiving a subsidy in the public exchange. You can use the public marketplace and not qualify for a subsidy.

This is all I could find.


But I ran the numbers (I have employer provided so doesn't impact me) but I make about $100k a year with wife and 3 kids, I would have qualified for a subsidy. So even using a subdsidy as the bar, your still going to catch most engineers who are here with there family.

I'm not entirely sure I see the connection between your subject line and the substance of your post, but, I'll address the subject of your post.

I won't say this proposal from the Trump Administration is the dumbest thing I have ever heard (not by a long shot), but, it certainly deserves one of my famous "asinine" designations. It makes no sense. If an immigrant is here legally, working legally, he/she is paying taxes and is entitled to certain programs. Legally participating in one of those programs should not disqualify the individual from citizenship. We should be making the path to legal citizenship easier, not punishing law abiding immigrants. The Admin claims it is "protecting the taxpayer." Huh? Aren't these folks "taxpayers?"

Now, that said, before we go off the deep end, recognize this was an idea Trump floated over 6 months ago and got no traction. So, it is unlikely to come to fruition now.

Thank you.

 
That is a very poorly worded article, you don't "use the ACA or Obamacare". As we know the ACA was a far reaching law that affected all facets of health insurance, so the vernacular in the article is very poor. What they should have said was take the premium subsidy through the ACA. There are a ton of people who don't have employer provided health care that also do not qualify for a subsidy. I am one. My wife and I make okay money but we are by no means rich, we are way off from qualifying for a subsidy. Maybe if she pushed out 3-4 kids we could get some o dat gubmint money.

Sounds like a stupid idea to me. I am on board with curbing illegal immigration and not spending so much money on illegal criminals. But I don't have a problem with the people going through the legal channels. I don't see a great reason to make it harder for them.

But is it as asinine as his other proposals of re-vetting all green card holders/PRs and exiling them?
I know quite a few green card holders - licensed Architects and Professional Engineers - that would have to be vetted. Lots have brown skin (Indians and Singaporean-Scots), they might have problems even though almost all are married to Americans...

I was under the impression anyone who's employer does not provide H.C. is using the Affordable Care Act?

Every single person uses the ACA ;) . It modified all plans.

But to answer your question, I haven't. But 6 years ago, I used the precursor - MassHealth. Got free health care when I was unemployed for 9 months. MassHealth was more or less done away with when the exchange came to Mass. The exchange is inferior.

No, it is not, which is why I said it wasn't the stupidest thing I have heard from this Administration ... ;-)

By George, you seem to understand the ACA in more depth than many, sir.
