One of the most discouraging things about all of this is some small business owners are 100% gaming the system as well. I know a contractor in GA who has his own biz. CPA writes EVERYTHING off against biz. Kid’s cars, wife’s car, every restaurant dinner. He somehow gets his MAGI (mod adj gross income) under $50K. Qualifies for Medicaid. Pays literally nothing for health insurance for him & his family. No premiums, free doctors visits, etc. The system uses Schedule C profit and there is no asset test for qualification (which I think there should be). This guy owns a big boat, huge house, new cars, all kinds of toys and gets free insurance, while I pay $700/month just for me alone.

Obamacare the single biggest line item other than housing for working families and it’s crippling for self-employed dads with lots of kids. No one would be talking about gas or egg prices if you had that money back. Say thank you to John McCain for that.

I don’t think people were weight training while eating less in the past either, if anything it was cardio + eating less just don’t weight training was the prevalent in the past
