Of course Jay Carney will tell you that my family is not significant and Harry Reid will tell you I'm a liar. Isn't it funny how these damn politicians tell you what a crisis it is when health insurance is expensive and people are having a hard time getting it, but after they pass a law that further increases the costs and kicks people off of existing plans, we don't matter anymore?

I think this ship has already sailed a few pages back, lol.
But, FWIW, one thing that annoys me about the ACA is that finally the one year I need to set aside a large sum of pre-tax dollars for flex spending (for a massively expensive dental procedure), I can't because it's capped at $2500. So now I end up paying the remaining balance with post-tax dollars.
I don't really follow politics or anything but how on earth does how much of my own pre-tax dollars I put aside matter? I guess the underlying message is that your pre-tax dollars aren't really yours, lol. Affordable care for who?
