The Affordable Food Act

The ACA is working so well (eyeroll), I propose a new scheme, I mean - program.

The Affordable Food Act mandates that everyone must pay an average of $400 per month for food insurance.

This program will provide the same awesome benefits that the Affordable Care Act does for health care!

If you are receiving any kind of welfare already, you won't have to pay a dime - you'll get another $400 worth of food on top of all the benefits you're already receiving. Don't worry - the poor shlub down the street who doesn't get any welfare benefits at all will be paying your premiums!

Those that have a job or two and are already paying house and car and health insurance premiums every month, must pay $500 per month for AFA (you know - to help pay for those who aren't paying anything). This provides a $400 food credit at any approved grocery stores (located at least 20 miles from your home and only opened weekdays from 9-4, and anything under $30.00 per item won't count toward your deductible, and restaurant bills are not covered.)

So, after paying your $500 premium, you'll only have to pay an average of $300 for food each month! (This is the average amount spent on food per month without food insurance.)

What a deal!
