again the tax payer isn't pay that cost .. there were taxes passed to companies that would cover the cost of these subsidies ... no more then 2.2% to that company,308 perpersonInteresting that you choose to see it that way as opposed to the possibility that he was being way overcharged with COBRA.Of course he thinks it's great, someone else is footing the majority of his costs. Duh.
Is that because corporations can do no wrong in your eyes?
And where do you get the certainty that he is getting subsidized?
Of course he was being over charged for COBRA. And?
wtf?
"the Richardsons only pay $136 a month for health insurance that covers them both." is cheap cheap, they are being subsidized.
. I do realize that by "subsidize" you probably are referring to the use of government funds to offset losses by the insurance companies. I am not certain if that is true or not. However, If only half of the new enrollees are paying premiums averaging 70 bucks a month each, that's no chump change.
It is chump change when you consider we are spending 8,500 per person per year. 70/month gets you 840/year, which means others are making up 90% of the difference.
Whoa. The cost of subsidies was projected to be around 4,308 per person in 2016. I agree that is still too damn much. I am beginning to think socialized medicine would be far better for our teeming masses!
