I Thought Obamacare Was Going to Lower Costs?

You can thank your orange fuckup for the increases.

You can thank its namesake.

Hilarious

Heil Shitler! and maga will own it and you know it. They would rather give billionaires tax breaks over people on the ACA.

Imagine all the other people who voted for Trump because they thought he was actually going to repeal and replace, like he said he would.

I wonder if they care that they were lied to. I know you don’t. Trump lies to your face and you kiss his ass regardless.

Listen fella, if you Democrats weren't trying to distract Trump so badly, then he could get 10 time's more done than what he's gotten done so far. So are you all going to keep him busy with frivolous Bull chit or maybe stop the bull chit in order to expect better ??

So, a bigger tax bill for a Merica?

Always with the excuses.

Republicans should be honest about that when they campaign.

“We won’t be able to get anything done about healthcare unless we get control of all three branches of government and Democrats are super nice to us. And even then, still probably not. We’ll just throw more excuses as to why we get nothing done. Vote for us!”

"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.


Denzel put it best...

Obiecare was never intended to cut the costs, it was strictly designed to give the government full control. You know the savings part is bullshit because the democrats are demanding more subsidies to make it affordable.

 

[beagle9]

I think republicans should get the fed gov out of healthcare,,

One or the other, because as it stands the federal government has screwed it completely up. Subsidizing anything screws most everything up because it takes the struggle to achieve and be humble and fair about thing's out of it.

 

[beagle9]

Of course you haven't. Republicans aren't honest about what they intend to do about healthcare. They just feed their voters lies about it.

Sounds like this is going to be the next distraction that you Dems are trying to gen up in hopes to persuade your base that orange man bad when it comes to Healthcare for the poor and downtrodden in life.

Did they not lie about repealing and replacing Obamacare?

If so, then it was along time gone by now, and with all the distractions and undermining of Republicans in hopes to destroy the party, then who knows why anything hasn't gotten done to this point. The luxury for you in the opposition, is that anything that gets some time between it and what's currently going on brings you people immediately into trying to take advantage of the time spann that has since past, and that way you Democrats hope that the American people just don't have the capacity to remember anything let alone create a picture in their minds that won't be forgotten.

Democrats are wrong on that assessment, just as it showed in 2024.

Republicans should explain that to voters in the next election.

“Yes we lied to you about our plan to repeal and replace Obamacare and got nothing done. But that was a long time ago. Also, Democrats were mean to us. Vote for us!”

Just wait until the Shitler! premium increases hit.

so do you have an opinion on the topic of healthcare or is your whole life revolve around whining like a little *****??

 

[Greenbeard]

What they did is allow Pedo Peter's additional subsidy (which wouldn't even be necessary if the "cost curve" was truly lower) expire and return to 2020 levels.

The cost curve did bend, it was flat for about 15 years. That's why it's big news now that Trump is bending it back upwards.

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

WHEW!

.

Getting rid of the public mandate was good enough for me.

I’ve told you my opinion, dumbass.

Are you all done sucking Trump’s ass?

 

[Greenbeard]

Until someone else pays for it. We need to find ways to lower the true costs for medicine.

That's been happening concurrently. Making the premium tax credits more generous was an obvious step in part because the original premium tax credits came in a few hundred billion dollars under budget.

 

[Greenbeard]

My post still stands if it's supposedly a market place that has participating providers that will agree to cover lower end Americans for the government subsidies that will be coming their way, otherwise if they offer their services at a level the government will accept in order to subsidize them. Is this correct ? So why does congress need to search for insurance on the ACA portal ????

Because that was one of many GOP amendments that passed while the law was being put together.
