Johnson Admits That Shutdown Is About ACA Premiums

[g5000]

Maybe the real answer is that life is a lot more expensive to maintain than we ever knew.

It doesn't have to be.

But it will continue to be if we don't hold brazen liars accountable.

Well.... Certainly not going to argue with that statement. Good luck finding them though...

Sad, pathetic TDS husk of a man.

I pity you.

It’s a paid

They took an opportunity to increase shareholder value by slashing benefits knowing you'd blame Obama and not them.

They were forced to move people to high deductible plans because of the penalties on so called "Cadillac" plans.

What is wrong with increasing shareholder value anyway? My 401k relies n share values, as do people's pensions.

Nope. Who is telling you these lies?

Per capita health care costs in UHC countries is far cheaper than here.

I cant compare foreign countries to the US

My comments apply to America

 

[hadit]

Because premiums have still be rising since then, as they have been for DECADES!

Duh.

.

So, we were told that obamadon'tcare was doing just fine with premiums rising as they had been for years, but to go back to that status is catastrophic. That seems a little disingenuous.

 

[dudmuck]

It's time to scrap the ACA, not subsidize it. It's an irredeemable failure.

Cartoons again

And far worse, unless you believe the very anti-American WHO ratings. The WHO guys would be the first to come to the US for life saving healthcare if given the opportunity.

High cost insurance plans were never taxed. The tax didn't go into effect until 2020 and were repealed in 2019.

Talking about increasing shareholder value is a bigger conversation. The main point here is that they were able to give their employees (you) less and blame someone else.

They were regulated into high deductible plans because of the fear of the tax. That Obamacare relied on it seems to imply it's inherent flaws.

Avoiding the economic conversation like the good little Marxist you are.

Mike Johnson slams Obamacare funds as a 'boondoggle' as shutdown drags on

Johnson also addressed conservative calls to repeal Obamacare, whose enhanced tax credits form the main dispute between the two parties that led to the funding impasse.

So the lies that it’s about anything else can stop

Letting the subsidies expire would cause a DOUBLING of premiums

The real issue everyone should be talking about is the failure of 0bamacare. As you recall, we were promised a savings of $2400 a year. Now, $4 trillion later, the premiums have to be subsidized to keep it afloat. As usual, the leftwing lied about this boondoggle. We should be talking about disbanding it, instead.

Many Congress people are invested in the HC stocks.....should be illegal.

The tax that didn't kick in for 10 years?

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

They cut the costs of their plans because that's good for shareholders.

 

[Crepitus]

We should go back to having free clinics for the lower- income.

Paid for by.....?

 

[Lisa558]

Paid for by.....?

The government. Lots cheaper than subsidizing all these overpriced insurance plans, and having lower-income people show up at the ER for a sore throat or a little boo-boo.

What makes you think it would be cheaper?

That was always hanging over people working on the plans.

Plus, all the other regulations that made the plans too expensive.

Yes because the purpose of government is to make things too expensive to be performed, right?

 

[Lisa558]

Because I know things.

That’s how it worked when my parents were kids, and they turned out fine.
