I Thought Obamacare Was Going to Lower Costs?

[Nostra]

Millions of Americans are about to have cause to ask why the GOP is taking away their plans, for sure.

Lies. Things will go back to where they were before the enhanced subsidies for the Fauci flu.
‘You must admitted Barrycare is a clusterfuck, dumbass.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Heathcare was great and much cheaper in the private sector before 0bama screwed it up.

Such a ******* lie, simp. All you ever ******* do is lie.

 

[Greenbeard]

‘You must admitted Barrycare is a clusterfuck, dumbass.

"You were uninsured under Trump I, you get to go back to being uninsured under Trump II" should be very compelling for the American families the GOP is stripping of their health care.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Nope. Democrats invented a massive healthcare crisis to get the Kenyan elected.

Racist little MAGA *****....

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

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?

Why didn't Trump do it in 2017, like he promised?

Why do you always hold Democrats to a higher standard than the giant orange lump of shit?

MAGA *****.

"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...

Health care will always be in crisis mode in this country until it is nationalized like everyone els had done. People can't afford to get sick no matter how wealthy they are. That's the bottom line.

How's the UK doing debt wise? They have nationalized health care.

"Do I still have to pay a penalty if I don’t have health insurance?


You don’t have to pay a penalty if you don’t have health insurance in 2019 or any year after that.

Through the end of 2018, the ACA required all U.S. taxpayers to have health coverage that met a minimum standard (called the “minimum essential coverage” requirement) unless they qualified for an exemption due to certain life events, financial status, or other factors. This meant that if you had affordable health coverage options, but chose not to buy health insurance, you would have to pay a fee when filing your taxes. This fee was known as an individual shared responsibility payment. It was also sometimes called the “penalty,” “fine,” or “individual mandate.”

Congress changed this part of the law for plans starting in 2019 and after. The individual shared responsibility payment no longer applies starting in plan year 2019.

Note: If you didn’t have coverage or an exemption in 2018, you may still have had to pay a fee when you filed your 2018 taxes in 2019.

If Obamacare were a Republican program, the media would be screaming bloody murder.

MAGA *****.

Getting rid of the public mandate and making it a voluntary program was good enough for me.
