So Very, Very Angry
Jan. 30th, 2015 06:48 pmIt's not enough that I was Forced to apply and sign up for Healthcare. It's not enough that I could barely scrape up the premiums every month. It's not enough that the premium doubled at the beginning of the year.
And since my husband and I both work part time with varying hours each week and couldn't estimate properly how much our tax credit would be, we now owe the IRS money. Money that was supposed to pay property taxes and help us do some necessary work around the house this year. And since we still can't say for certain how much we will make this year, we'll be caned again next year as well, I suppose.
People like us are fucked. We don't make enough to properly do anything beyond live, we make too much to qualify for Medicare or Medicaid, we can't afford to be ill because the 'insurance' we CAN afford won't pay for anything beyond check-ups.
No chance of even thinking about MISTI, and no chance of doing anything around the house. We have just enough to scrape by paying the property taxes, and that's it. I haven't owed the IRS in almost 30 years, and I'll bet this is just the beginning unless they do something drastic. I just feel like people like us are doomed to be screwed on every side.
