Elaborating on the previous post, sure, there are plenty of people who have benefited from the Goldberg Act. I'm one of them! (Pro bloggers who come across this post, e-mail me and I'll provide all details.) On the other hand, the only reason why I'm one of the "winners" under O-care is because I've made less money every year for the last five years in a row, so I qualify for a generous subsidy. I'm grateful for it---as a man over 50 with two preexisting conditions---but all things being equal, I'd like to be working and making a lot more money again. Maybe someone would consider proposing a federal jobs program or a guaranteed annual income? We need them both!
