How did people afford obamadon'tcare before the subsidies?
It’s SO bad that I know people in their 60s who are getting such a wonderful “deal” (I.e., other people pay for it) on Obamacare that they dread going on to Medicare.
Come up with cheap medical for people. Instead, you wipe your hands of it like Pontius Pilate and expect miracles for low rates. Perhaps if hospitals did not have whole wings dedicated to billing people through someone else paying, we would be better off. I am a realist. I see limits on medical treatment eventually for the aging and the sickly to start. Lawyers do not help.
Partly because of continuous Repub sabotage and partly because the ACA was a compromise bill that neutered its potential, it has only slowed the rise in premiums while allowing millions of Americans to have healthcare insurance. Which probably explains its popularity, and your disappointment.
Well, before Obamacare I was able to afford my own very good plan. Once Obamacare was forced on us, my costs doubled.

While health care costs have continued to increase since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010, they’ve done so at a slower rate than in the years before the law was passed.
A 2021 study published in JAMA found that out-of-pocket healthcare expenses increased at an average of 3.4% a year from 2000-2009 and 1.9% a year from 2010-2018, after the ACA. This may be partially attributable to macroeconomic conditions: inflation was slightly lower from 2010 to 2018 (1.77%) than 2000-2009 (2.56%). A 2020 Health Affairs study noted annual healthcare spending growth decreased from 6.9% (2000-2009) to 4.3% (2010-2018) post-ACA, and that though the literature debated the ACA’s role in this, no paper linked the ACA to increased growth in healthcare spending.
In 2023 dollars, healthcare spending per person was about $11,150 in 2010 and $14,500 by 2023.
We should go back to having free clinics for the lower- income.
He knew it would fail. That was part of the plan.
Which was okay because reasons and Obama, then Covid hit and we needed more subsidies, which was okay because reasons and Covid, then Covid crisis is over and we are set to go back to the way it was, but that's not okay because reasons.
And then the plan was to throw up their hands because the whole thing was crashing and just put everyone on a Medicaid-type plan. Lousy service, crowded, long waits.
/----/ Absolutely, 100% correcto-mundo.
