'My health insurance is going up to $800 a month with a $15k deductible and that's the CHEAPEST PLAN"

[Seymour Flops]

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Like millions of other Americans, Stacy Newton turns to Healthcare.gov to shop for health insurance for her family. The Affordable Care Act website, according to the government, is where consumers are supposed to find “a menu of health insurance plans.”

To continue health coverage for themselves and their two teenage children, the Newtons would have to pay an annual premium of $43,000 — about a third of their gross income. It is the price of the cheapest plan available to the family from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, the only ACA insurer left in Teton County.

Are they freaking serious?

They make about $129,000 per year, and they are crying because waitresses, janitors, and teachers will no longer pay their healthcare premiums for them (as well as our own)? Do they have no idea what they sound like?

What happened to the Affordable Care Act? Why has it never made care affordable?

 

[teddyearp]

Still waiting on fucktard Republicans to introduce their plan.

Do you still have the "outline" of a plan?

Yeah. It's called the free market, just like what we could afford before health care got "affordable".

Republicans never "pulled funding" from Obamacare, until literally yesterday.*

It started sucking from day one.



*It was actually the Democrats who "pulled funding" by setting up the COVID supplemental subsidies to expire, but whatevs.

It is really getting to where the only truth they understand is a bullet to the neck . . .

 

[hadit]

You all refused to get the government involved in healthcare solutions, and have fought against every change necessary for the ACA to work. This was something that would need yearly corrections, yet you fought hard for it to fail.

What have you offered in return? NADA.

Translation, annual increases in taxpayer subsidies.

We were told obamadon'tcare was going along just great, it was covering everybody just fine, and everybody loved it. Then they put in taxpayer subsidies "just to cover the Covid crisis", and now that those are expiring, it's a disaster to go back to just great? They wouldn't have been lying about how great it was going, would they?

Nah, Trump did the same thing in 2017, dramatically spiking 2018 premiums.

Obamacare bombshell: Trump kills key payments to health insurers

He's got a clear pattern of intentionally jacking up premiums every time he takes over.

Make Democrats super angry if payments to the Billionaires who own healthcare insurance providers are not constantly sent more and more tax dollars.

That's what happens when we pass federal legislation with no consensus. We really need to get that through our heads. Foisting major changes on society without broad support, with only a slim, party-line majority, is just thrashing.

At least now you know that the GOP pulled funding, which was the oringal statement.

It was such a great idea we had to force people to do it.

Made lots of people pretty angry at the GOP last time.

Democrats smash Watergate record for House popular vote in midterms

Nationally, Democrats have 53.1 percent of all votes counted while Republicans took 45.2 percent.

We’ll see if jacking up premiums on purpose is a more popular strategy for the GOP this time.

Insurance companies raise premiums, not Trump and the GOP. Letting the subsidies end, as the Democrats planned and made law, will increase for some the out of pocket cost.

The typical COVID subsidy recipient will now pay $57 more per month.

You understand that a very narrow demographic will experience significant increases in out of pocket?

Or you don't know that?

Honestly, I've never seen a more retarded group of people than Trump supporters. This guy could take money from their pockets (which he tried to do btw with Trump crypto coin), and they would praise him for it.

They criticise Obamacare despite the fact that it's Trump that did not extend subsidies, but he (Trump) did extend subsidies for elite wealth in a different case, while cutting medical care for the average American and while still raising the deficit. They criticise it despite the fact that Obamacare was literally restricted even in it's initial introduction by republicans because 0 voted yes for it. 0 voted yes, and since then it's been in the interest of Republicans to see it fail. If republicans introduced some healthcare that worked, it would not be in the interest of Democrats to see it fail...

Trump ran on saying that they had a concept of a plan. They obviously have zero concept other than ******* poor people out of healthcare. But I guess somehow Obamacare must be blocking the Trump administration from introducing something better since Republicans think it is so easy.

 

[initforme]

Society isn’t obligated to pay for people who refuse to prepare for the possibility of needing medical care. Do you disagree with that premise? If so, why?

Well its a wonderful thing less people are having kids and without access to insurance delivering a child is unaffordable.

??? Democrats wanted a public run option insurance plan when this was first pushed for.

The healthcare the US has is not exactly liberal or progressive. It's center-right by international standards.

Do you really think Democrats just pushed what they wanted with Obamacare? Republicans are the reason we don't have a public insurance plan as zero of them voted yes for it, and so Obamacare had to modified to help it pass. But keep blaming Obama and Biden for all your problems.
