Reply #129: And if I refied, it would be about $590, but you don't want to include that.

Anyway, its an ocean view beach home...not exactly "bronze". But the standard lowered tier home probably costs, with these rates, around $650 a month, much like what a lowered tiered health plan will cost.

I'm not sure where are you going with your quotes. You don't understand half of what you are cutting and pasting most of the time. They are not the same. They are both similar problems of the same system that could both potentially fit into a similar model of mandating and subsidizing. That does not make them the same. I am sorry you can't wrap your nog around that. My point about the different tiers of housing, and how they relate, is that there are also different health plans. The costs that are being subsidized will not buy someone the best plan, and probably not even an average plan, just as a subsidization on a house couldn't be expected to do the same either.

But no, not the same, nor did I imply it was.


"Again, the mandate has nothing to do with making coverage more affordabile"

I agree. I never said it did. Some people do claim so, but its just not the case. So....Im not sure what this is in response to? Do you ever read what you respond to?
