The Affordable Care Act, the US public marketplace for private insurance. Ignorantly referred to by conservatives as socialism.

Not even close to socialism or affordable. Currently paying $2400 a month on an ACA plan because my employer's benefits don't cover the services my disabled child requires.

Jfc, that's my mortgage at least 4 times over. Any money spent on your kid is well spent, but it's horrible that you must sacrifice that much.

Where do you live that you have a $600 mortgage?!???

Hey, you stole my joke from last month

Mine is just over $1000 in an urban area for a town home. We got lucky though and got in right before things went stupid in 2020, so that's part of it. Also made the move and investment of a heavy down payment because we saw rent was going to become unlivable, and sure enough it happened.

Not in the US. Suburban Wales, UK.

It affords a 3-bedroom terraced home. It used to be cheaper before our previous UK government fucked interest rates.

Holy shit that's amazing. 3 bedrooms WITH a terrace?

AND you get free healthcare?

God you guys live like kings

Terraced in this instance means there are two other homes, one either side, that we share walls with.

Having good neighbours is essential.
