Hey blogger community,
I totally agree with Earl. My name is George Hill and i'm the manager at Dick's Sporting Goods in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I frankly do not care about politics at all. It has never been an interest of mine, and probably will never be. But I got to say that Obamacare has really made my life a whole lot harder. I didn't go to college so I don't share the shame burdens that Earl does, but I know exactly what he is going through. I am a member of the middle class, making about 40 000$ in annual income. I feel fortunate to make a decent living doing something I like to do, but forty grand a year doesn't buy you the moon. I can afford everything I need to live quite comfortably but thats it. An increase in any fixed cost can really cause a financial issue for me.
In the past year, since i've been forced to be covered by Obamacare from my employer, I have experienced high health care premiums, like Earl already stated. The fluctuating health care premiums are a huge issue but by far not the biggest for me. In order to support the bill the Obama Administration has raised my taxes from 25% to nearly 30%. A 5% increase may not seem like much but on a grand scale of things it costs me nearly two grand a year on my disposable income. For me, a person who is never really sick, its crazy to pay so much money for health care that I don't use. Also I was reading some articles that said that young Americans are paying for old, retired Americans' health care. Is that the thanks I get for voting for you Barack? All those change speeches were just hot air. I want a change now too...Change of the health care system so I can keep more of my paycheck! Repeal the bill!

A very insightful comment George! The youth's voice is always important to hear. For our readers once again, George is stating that the high insurance premiums and taxes resulting from Obamacare are cutting into his already low monthly income. This goes back to the issue that Obamacare's sanctions have profoundly affected the Middle Class of the Untied States, and especially young adults of the Middle Class. For this reason he feels that Obamacare should be repealed.
