On October 1st I am going to apply for Obamacare and claim that I am indigent. The processors (they have the cute title of "navigators") are expressly forbidden to verify my claims of poverty, or to verify anything else that I claim. I will then receive a 90% subsidy for my "Platinum" health insurance plan and you suckers will be paying for it. Don't believe me? Check the law! Of course, I'm old enough that I will probably be dead before the country runs out of money.

Your friend,
Slim
