On the one hand, I applaud this man for having the guts to go through with this to prove his point. On the other hand, I fear that if they ever seriously addressed this & counted assets, they could also apply it to subsidized healthcare at some point.
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, I've been thinking about this since I retired @ 53 mid 2015.
I know one side of the political aisle here in Minnesota, has been pushing to count assets & not just income relating to subsidized healthcare for years.
If this was addressed, & because of my assets, I had to pay the amount I'm 'supposed to be paying' I could absorb it. But what if they took that amount & doubled it ?
This could be very interesting.
