Huh? What's your point? I will be working less, earning less, and paying less in taxes, in order to collect a big subsidy (from other taxpayers like yourself) that I would not qualify for working 12 months a year.
So tell me - are you ok with forking over my subsidy (averaging $5,510 a year) so that I can voluntarily enjoy 6 months a year of leisure time?

2. If you want to support a wife and two kids on $24,000 for a full year, go right ahead, I don't care. Don't plan on going to a New York Yankee baseball game. You won't be able to afford the game ticket or a hotdog and soda.
3. I support the ACA. In the individual market, old system, you have 40 million who are uninsured. There were people with pre-existing conditions could not get health insurance. There were people who had health insurance but got sick and then got dropped by their insurance provider. The individual market old system simply did not work.
4. Down the road they should fix ACA so that if one does not have children, you should not have to pay a rider for dental insurance for children. This would have to be fixed legislatively not by executive order. Perhaps they should have 9 mandatory benefits instead of 10.
5. One more time, one of the leaders of the republican party Newt Gingrich said on the first week of his CNN Crossfire show, The GOP has no alternative plan to the ACA.
