I Thought Obamacare Was Going to Lower Costs?

"Average Obamacare premiums are set to rise 30 percent, documents show


The price increases — affecting up to 17 million Americans who buy coverage on the federal marketplace — are by far the largest annual premium increases in recent years.



Premiums for the most popular types of plans sold on the federal health insurance marketplace Healthcare.gov will spike on average by 30 percent next year, according to final rates approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and shown in documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

The price increases — affecting up to 17 million Americans who buy coverage on the federal marketplace — are by far the largest annual premium increases in recent years. The higher premiums, along with the likely expiration of pandemic-era subsidies, mean millions of people will see their health insurance payments double or even triple in 2026.
The premium spikes arrive during a protracted and bitter congressional battle over health insurance costs that prompted a government shutdown since Oct. 1. Democrats have urged an extension of enhanced subsidies for plans sold through the Affordable Care Act to soften the blow of rising insurance costs, while Republicans have said the additional assistance was never meant to be permanent.

The spike in premiums will become visible to more Americans on Monday when the Trump administration is expected to open Healthcare.gov for window shopping to browse the price of plans ahead of the Nov. 1 start to open enrollment. A spokesman for CMS did not immediately return a request for comment."

I thought Barack the Lightbringer was going to make healthcare affordable? All those Obama voters hitting their Hopium pipes better get a second job to pay for their healthcare.

You MAGA imbeciles keep weakening it....by getting rid of the individual mandate, for example.

Why hasn't Trump come up with something better than Obamacare....like he promised in 2017?

It's only been over 8 ******* years.

You want Trump to save Obamacare? Really?

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

You want Trump to save Obamacare? Really?

Yes, make it better.

Why the **** doesn't he?

You can't whine like a little MAGA ***** about Obamacare when Trump and Republicans have never done a ******* thing to try to improve health care.

.
Thank GOD Donald Trump and the Republicans came through on their innumerable promises to repeal and replace Obamacare!

WHEW!

.

 

[DonGlock26]

Yes, make it better.

Why the **** doesn't he?

You can't whine like a little MAGA ***** about Obamacare when Trump and Republicans have never done a ******* thing to try to improve health care.

Can we at least agree that Obama lied about Obamacare?

Health insurance needs to go completely private. The market will produce affordable plans if the government keeps its nose out of it

Healthcare Reform

"On day one of the Trump Administration, we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare.

"However, it is not enough to simply repeal this terrible legislation. We will work with Congress to make sure we have a series of reforms ready for implementation that follow free market principles and that will restore economic freedom and certainty to everyone in this country."

Trump deleted that page from his campaign web site after he was elected.

He KNEW he was lying!

It's Obamacare, not Trumpcare. This is on Barack Obama and his voters. Did you vote for Barack Obama?

What did he lie about? And who cares?

At least the Democrats tried to improve health care....they get credit for trying. That's a lot more than Trump and your traitor Repug Party will ever do.

And all dishonest little MAGAts like you can do is cry like a little *****.

Here's Trump's Day One promise from the Wayback Machine.

I have linked to election day 2016, though it is there every day of the 2016 campaign:

Healthcare Reform

Since March of 2010, the American people have had to suffer under the incredible economic burden of the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare.

Yeah....we only tried that for about 100 years before Obamacare.

Idiot.

“Who cares?”

What O “tried” to do is facilitate the U.S. going to a single-payer system.

Well.....it obviously failed, thanks to you MAGA traitors.

So who the **** cares? You won that battle, so why keep crying like a little *****?

You piece of shit, its because MAGA is killing the supports. **** those POORZ!

 

[g5000]

It's Obamacare, not Trumpcare. This is on Barack Obama and his voters. Did you vote for Barack Obama?

Nope. I voted for Pat Paulsen.

Nice try.

If you search on my posting history, you will discover I called Obamacare a con job from the get-go.

Again, nice try.

Now why don't YOU stop dodging the fact Trump and the GOP continuously spit in your face by promising they had a replacement when they had none.

You know they hold you in total contempt? They despise you.

Because they know you will NEVER hold them accountable and will actually toss out red herrings to avoid facing the fact you are a rube. A sucker. A turnip.

Post of the Day.

Only if you are a total ******* idiot who doesn't want coverage for pre-existing conditions.....like back in 2008 before Obamacare.

You people are so ******* stupid.

 

[Captain Creeper]

Well.....it obviously failed, thanks to you MAGA traitors.

So who the **** cares? You won that battle, so why keep crying like a little *****?

Who is crying?!? LOL!

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Who is crying?!? LOL!

You and the idiot who started this moronic MAGA bumpkin thread.
