Universal Basic Income

$5000 deductible is nothing.

$5000 deductible is a lot for her, it might as well be a million - she doesn't have either. There's also a 50% copay (sorry, not deductible, I made a mistake when I wrote). She's working a minimum wage job, and she's really poor. Technically, she has insurance, so the government can pat themselves on the back and say, oh, yes, we have so many people insured. Realistically, she does NOT have insurance, she can't afford the deductible, and she can't afford the copay.

Also, my insurance premiums went up 100% (my husband's company insurance) thanks to Obamacare. So I'm one of those who's NOT on the Obamacare bandwagon.
