Healthcare Premiums Soar

[Seymour Flops]

It sucks but so would what we would have (or not have) without it.

How do you know that?

People wealthy enough to retire early getting taxpayer subsidies, some $15,000 worth.

The ACA while far from perfect has provided health insurance to millions. Before the ACA was passed medical bankruptcies were routinely filed. The OP as usual fails to look at he down party for undermining the ACA at every turn including by not extending the tax credits, among other things. Only a fool wants to go back to the days before the ACA when hospitals see flooded with the uninsured.

ACA or "Obamacare" is a disaster. They were told it would be but they wouldn't listen. Now people are hurting.

There's nothing the left can't mess up. Absolutely nothing

FLASHBACK: Ted Cruz predicts ballooning Obamacare subsidies now at center of shutdown fight

The fact that democrats have admitted that the ACA can't exist without further subsidies proves it is a money pit. All of which is irrelevant at this point as there have been NO CUTS that weren't triggered because the DEMOCRATS forced the gov't shut down. Doesn't make much sense does it.

Before the ACA, the American taxpayer wasn't forced to pay for the healthcare of parasites.

No problem. Democrats have a plan for that and have had one for years. Let premiums soar and we'll just subsidize it all by adding the increased costs onto the national debt. That's their plan.

Yes, but Obamacare is "health insurance." Healthcare is what your doctors and hospitals do.

Call it what you want but the fact is premiums are rising. It’s cheaper to face a fine than having coverage.

Leftists believe money grows on tree. When someone receives very low premium or free healthcare, someone else is footing the bill.

Wrong as usual. Before the ACA hospitals passed on the costs of the uninsured to you and me. The ACA made sure that most people had insurance. The ACA was modeled after a Republican plan. The ACA has saved countless lives by giving Americans access to insurance. Not that any MAGA gives a shit about saving lives.

It's funny how they're all against health insurance companies and Big Pharma and yet they do everything they can to give both more business.

So when do we start saving lives in Mexico? Africa? Lithuania? You're a communist, parasitic fool.

Your post makes no sense. I think you should call your nurse for your meds.

Nothing makes sense to you that includes keeping your hands out of other people's pockets. Run along comrade.

 

[leftwinger]

The ACA is health insurance, not healthcare. There is a difference.

The main difference is I don't want to pay for it.

If the people buying it at $27K or whatever cannot afford it then neither can I.

Kill the option. Put them on Medicaid Medicare and make them pay for that? Do something else besides waste 2X normal cost. WTH?

Once again call your nurse over. Either that or you are too stupid to realize the ACA helps keeps medical rates down by making sure everyone has insurance. Since you are borderline senile I wouldn’t expect you to understand.

ACA incentivized unhealthy lifestyle for those not having to pay or low premium.

No, that doesn't happen at all!

I've been paying medical insurance for more than 50 years and my premiums are higher since the ACA than any time before. I am also paying tax $$$ to subsidize health insurance for parasites. I didn't take them, or you, to raise parasite.

I never thought Trump would be worse than Biden at inflation.
Until it happened.

It’s catastrophic care coverage. I had to pay out-of-pocket for tons of stuff that was previously covered under REAL health insurance.

I had ACA for a while before Medicare Advantage. Mine paid for things. Yes, there was some shared costs. But, it was real health insurance. It wasn't healthcare. It was health insurance purchased through an insurance company. I remember back in the 60's, all there was pretty much was catastrophic insurance. Doctor visits were easily paid for out of pocket by my parents. I had an appendicitis and the major medical (catastrophic) insurance paid for most of it. A week in the hospital. It was affordable too. As insurance companies and the government subsidies grew in medical coverage, so did the prices of doctor visits and all the medical tools and, drugs and everything. If the government pays in more, the prices will go up more. See, if we just get rid of medical insurance and keep catastrophic major medical, the whole healthcare industry would have to drastically lower prices because no one would be able to pay them.
