Democrats want families earning $500,000 to keep getting Obamacare subsidies!

I’m guessing you have a different definition of the word “specialist” than the medical community.

If xorphia is a neurological condition, they have a neurologist for you to see. I’m guessing you think you are entitled to see your special xorphologist, but that’s not really the case.

For the last time, there were NO xorphologists in network. I had to pay cash.

What got me was the ability to keep adult children on their policy till age 26.

I had my own insurance when I was 19.

Probably because xorphologist isn’t actually a specialty.

You could have seen a regular specialist who treats xorphia.

Obamacare advertised itself as how wonderful it all was because all pre-existing conditions would be covered - knowing that it was up to the states and that conditions could very well be excluded? That’s dishonest, at the minimum.

The particular essential health benefits package is selected by each state. It’s always been up to the state to enforce insurance rules, including network adequacy.

If you believe Obamacare should have been a federal takeover of insurance functions from states, you’ll find many who agree with you.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I would rather have my health care come from a government I can vote out if they don't deliver than an insurance company I have no say in.

So let's be clear on this. Obama WANTED a public option and a Medicare Buy-in for people over 55. That was shot down by the Republicans and Joe Lieberman (who only thought that Israelis deserve socialized medicine on the US taxpayers' dime, not Americans!)

Insurance subsidies were a Republican idea, which Obama went along with. And now you are complaining because poor people are getting stuff you think they shouldn't have.

Clearly the country is better off because you voted for obozocare before you knew it hat was in it.

They can go to work and get employer group health insurance out of their paycheck like 200 million do.

When did Republicans explain to their constituents what they must go to regain their Medicaid coverage after a year? What do they do for healthcare coverage during 2026?

What can Americans who have their MEDICAID coverage taken away do?


The ACA Medicaid expansion group will have work requirements starting January 1, 2027. States will be required to verify individuals' monthly work status at application and enrollment, with the option to implement requirements earlier. The work requirement will be 80 hours of work activities per month, and states can require more frequent verification. The implementation timeline includes a June 2026 interim final rule release by HHS, leaving states with limited time to develop or change implementation plans. State choices to impose more stringent requirements than the federal minimum will affect the number of individuals without health insurance.

Go without? Go to work? Pay cash? Don't get sick?

No one cares what illegals or single mothers with 9 kids gets on ACA to breed more.

 

[TimFitz]

Also, you’ve been fooled.

The new Obamacare plans DID exclude certain conditions. The way they got around it was simply to exclude specialists in their network who focused on that condition. Then you had to go out of network and pay up the yazoo.

Ask me how I know.

That’s how most private and employer insurance works.

 

[TimFitz]

Well, my Obamacare plan was $900 a month, meaning almost $11,000 a year. (And remember, that was for a crappy plan with a $6k deductible.) So, multiply by five and you’re over $50,000 for the year.

That is meaningless. Health insurance premiums are not based on income.

Are you quoting any particular Republican politician, or indulging your own personal prejudices?

Dude, your cult thanks your for your ignorance. They eliminated the cap on income in 2022.

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits: Who Benefits, How Much, and What Happens Next? • Bipartisan Policy Center

As Democrats and Republicans consider a path forward, this issue brief examines recent federal policy changes to premium subsidies, the populations likely to be affected by expiration of the enhanced PTCs, the key levers to reform the enhanced PTCs, and available data on recent policy proposals.

Dude, no they didn't. 600% of FPL was it.

JoeB131 has one immigrant who got off ths boat and without job home or food decided to sign up for Obammycare at $800/mo.

So no example of a $50,000 plan?

 

[debbiedowner]

It's untrue and easily disproven. And it's the kind of thing they're fed, 24/7/365. Adding to the rage.

And they don't question a word. That's why they really do think they're "at war".

I know and they won't listen to anyone who is involved in this so to speak crap daily. If one q says it then it's all true.

 

[leftwinger]

So no example of a $50,000 plan?

Last time I looked it was typically $700/mo per person on ACA.

Yes they are under Obamascare.

All they do at this point is pick up material from voices they trust and attack with it. It doesn't need to be true or accurate or complete.

They're essentially feral, especially on the internet. I've long since given up on them here. Their value is in observation, that's about it.

Your number makes sense to me, but the basis of this thread is that if you are high income and pay $50k for an insurance plan on obama care you could get some subsidies.

 

[debbiedowner]

That is meaningless. Health insurance premiums are not based on income.

The actual premium from an insurance company is not based on income but an individual's premium after going through the marketplace and receive a subsidy does depend on income.
