Death and Taxes
Some dude got that right.
Just had to shell out a thousand bucks payback to the feds for getting the wife enrolled in Obamacare over the last year. Seemed like a good idea at the time, not knowing that there were smoke and mirrors operating below the surface. Never told us up front that the compassionate credit they offered would bite us back as taxable income. Could have done a lot better on my own choosing a plan at a lesser tax risk, but Obamacare had only limited expensive alternatives and gave us an offer we couldn't refuse. No disclaimer to read the fine print before cutting our throats in our ignorance.
Another ass wipe. The wife is hitting 65 and going onto medicare, plus supplement. We called a couple days ago to make sure the Obamacare was stopped starting next month to legally transition. Obamacare said we can't un enroll till some time in March way after medicare starts. Since the Obamacare will overlap with medicare, we will be fined for trying to milk the government for undeserved benefits while not eligible. No recourse for the little guy or family. Our government at its best again (unfortunately)
Ain't dead quite yet, so for now, taxes are the universal constant.
Bummer,
John
