Look at it this way Maggie:
A woman who works two part time jobs makes $15,000 annually. Because of the ACA she gets bronze health insurance with, say, a $5000 deductible.
This woman gets the flu, but the doctor wants payment up front for the visit. She doesn't have the money to pay the doctor.
Now tell me how this is any different than her life before Obamacare?
She pays a measly $95 penalty and is in no worse shape than she was before. And if her premiums would be more than 8% of her salary? She faces no penalty at all. If a woman is working two part-time jobs and earning $15,000 annually? She's got more vacation time than you have. Perhaps she needs three.

Let's get real here.
