Trump still wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)

[pknopp]

Very few Americans qualified for the ACA.

Many did. Sadly many couldn't actually afford to use it after qualifying.

Vast generalizations with no specifics as it's all smoke and mirrors.

Moving the goal posts are we? You didn't ask for specifics when you said there were no taxes in the bill. There's all the specifics you need.

"Taxes" are not "making the rich pay their fair share".

Insurance for tens of millions of people, and pre-existing condition guarantees, could be in jeopardy if the former president wins the 2024 election.

Donald Trump says he is still interested in repealing the Affordable Care Act, which means health care for tens of millions of people would be in jeopardy if he becomes president again next year.

Trump said Saturday on his website Truth Social that he was “looking at alternatives” to the 2010 health care law, also known as “Obamacare,” which has reduced the number of Americans without health insurance to historic lows and established basic guarantees of coverage for all Americans regardless of pre-existing conditions.

The vow echoes promises that Trump made as a first-time candidate and as president, when he and Republican leaders in Congress made repeal a top legislative priority.

That effort failed. It also proved spectacularly unpopular, fueling a backlash that eventually helped Democrats win back the House, the Senate and the White House. President Joe Biden, long a vocal supporter of the ACA, has since worked with Democrats to bolster the law.

Trump Still Seems Set On Repealing A Law That Most Americans Like​

Obamacare isn't perfect, but it has helped many Americans. In other words, the ACA hasn’t fixed American health care, but it’s helped a lot of people. What do you think?

Insurance that is unusable by millions because of restrictions, unreasonable unaffordable copays and deductibles, mandates, etc. as well as lowered standards of health care, staffing shortages, inadequate beds, etc. is not something any thinking person should be defending.

As of early 2023, the report finds that more than 40 million Americans have coverage under the ACA, the highest total on record.

That’s from the government site, trying to fool people into thinking Obamacare was a success.

I had Obamacare - cost a fortune, and with such a high deductible that it never paid for a thing. In the six years I was “covered,” I paid close to $50,000 in premiums - and for that cost, had to pay for physical therapy, a medical specialist for a condition I developed, a trip to Urgent Care, an MRI (related to the condition I had that required the specialist), and other things.

That’s what the government calls “covered.” What I call it is “an insurance card.” For the middle class, it forced them off of good, affordable plans - NO, we could not keep our plans - and onto what was essential a catastrophic care plan.

Nonsense. Most plans did

 

[justoffal]

If it cost your employer that much then it
Most definitely met the ACA requirements.

Plans come and go based on the Insurers.

Always been that way

In think O-care has dumbed down what employers offer.
