Stephen Moore is on the Dan and Amy radio show here in Chicago at least once a week....he pointed out if obama loses in the Supreme Court, and the United States wins....then in order to help the people who will lose their unfair federal subsidy.....just give them vouchers until we can fix it......
Vouchers that would allow them to get whatever insurance they want...with whatever coverage they think they need....no muss....no fuss...and they will be covered......
I agree.....
You sir are an idiot, if you think a 5000. voucher will cover a family or an individual for a years worth of medical treatment. If you don't like ACA and damit don't get it, don't use it and move on with your damned life, .....but championing a idiotic idea makes you look like the fool you are.
Those on an income under the ACA threshold, only qualify for Medicaid (and it is very difficult to even qualify for that), and they have to pay the full cost of private insurance*.
Those above the ACA threshold don't receive any subsidy from the ACA, so are in effect paying tax for the ACA and not receiving any benefit in return.
Not saying that I am for/against vouchers, but right now a voucher (even of a few hundred dollars a year) would offer more for the poor and upper middle class than they are currently getting from the ACA (which right now is zero).
*Which means a lot of folks, as many employers no longer offer healthcare coverage for their low-wage workers, as a result of the new ACA standards, and part-time or contract jobs are the majority of jobs in the new American economy - so they rarely qualify for a subsidy even if they are within the ACA threshold.
