I Thought Obamacare Was Going to Lower Costs?

[Nostra]

Nominal dollar amounts always go up, the cost curve measures whether health care became more costly relative to society’s means (GDP) or households’ means (income). It didn’t, because the cost curve bent to the point of becoming nearly completely flat.

The price of a TV is higher today in nominal dollars than it was in 1950, but a TV obviously costs considerably less today.

Net income went up 7.3% in 2023?

Link?

Nostra isn't going to understand any of this.

Catastrophic plans are great if you can afford the routine care not covered. Many people couldn't and were essentially not covered.

If they were great, why did Barry outlaw them and throw people off coverage?

I love the poorly educated.

It did. Read the posts above and comprehend them this time.

If costs flattened, why did they go up 7.3% in just one year, stupid?

 

[Nostra]

If Barrycare is so great, and pays for itself, why does it need ENHANCED SUBSIDIES over and above the billions in existing subsidies?

Dimtards suck at math.

 

[BrokeLoser]

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!

Why didn’t the Crypt Keeper and the crazy kinda black Indian lady with the weird name “fix” it when they had command of DC?

Because of the filibuster. Are you new to this planet?

The tax subsidy for employer-based insurance was codified during the Eisenhower administration.

And was used at what level ?

We aren't living in those time's now, and instead we are living in a time where everything is being abused while the hard working taxpayer gets screwed big time.

 

[beagle9]

I didn't challenge them to come up with something better. That's what they said they were going to do.

Well tell us what you would do then...

Single payer. Did you forget that the ACA was the best idea Republicans could come up with for over 30 years? It's the reoublican response to single payer.

Well tell us what you would do then...

Did I say I had a better alternative option to Obamacare?

Did I say I was going to repeal and replace it?

Did I say that this was going to happen immediately?

Did I fool millions of people into believing that this was going to happen?

Nope, wasn't me.

There's no "if." Excess health care cost growth in the half century before the ACA was nearly 3% per year. Excess health care cost growth in the ACA era since 2010 has been just a hair above zero.

The Supreme Court says you are full of shit, Dipsqueeze.

Wrong. The Affordable Care Act's (ACA) individual mandate required most Americans to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. However, Congress eliminated the federal tax penalty, effective January 1, 2019, so the federal individual mandate is no longer enforced.

 

[DonGlock26]

That is one way of looking at it.

That's how the law was written. Period.

 

[DonGlock26]

*****.

You talk about it so much, you must have one.

 

[DonGlock26]

If the blowhard backs down and abandons his scheme to take away healthcare coverage from millions of Americans, I wouldn't mind if he called it TrumpCare and demanded that they all sport goofy red caps.

Trumpcare paid with tariffs? Go on.

Better yet, how about you don't wait to go get you a better job so you can easily pay your premiums, and this instead of waiting on government to make your life whole and better.

Way to much dependency has been created by the Democrats, and it shows in every social media forum that Democrats are whining like babies on, and it's all because the crats have been made vulnerable by trusting in the crazy like a fox Democrats for way to long.

Your girl Crockett ought to be coming to your rescue as soon as her race baiting tactics kicks in, along with her hood winks and nodding towards you gullible rubes that depend on people like her to represent you while it makes her tons of money off of your ignorance.

Pathetic !!

Red taker states will love the big brutal bills cuts to Medicaid too.

And stop with the racism bagel 9. If you have a question about Rep. Jasmine Crocket refute her and don't be a diaper wearing old white POS.

Now include all the tax dollars used to prop up Barrycare.

Watch this…….

They won’t. Inflation is inflation and thankfully we have a normal rate today compared to xiden’s years

Healthcare inflation was tracking higher then normal inflation, Obamacare was suppose to lower that, it didn’t

What Obamacare did, and all the Dems designed it for, was to force insurance providers to cover more things, giving Americans less options, then to cover that, gsve them massive tax solar bailouts

During trumps first admit he was able to fix some of these fascist moves

However when Covid happened, the govt did step in with some subs to help cover the gap when people weren’t working and healthcare was a priority…the dems extended that under xiden, even after covid was over, and set this expiration date…which they are now holding the American people hostage over
