So here we go again , back to pubescent long time whining that government debt is too vast and the biggest expense is medical costs , pathetic !
The affordable care act was a goose for the pubes as it shifted the administration of medical expenses to a different statistic , away from meticulous management by a federal bureaucracy on to private sector insurance companies which deal directly with health care providers and the insured .
Unlike private insurance companies which offset losses with gains through investment of premiums , we damn sure do not want unqualified bureaucrats or the nepotism of their hired guns doing that !
Thus the federal government changed the statistic of accrued medical costs by optioning to subsidize insurance on a graduated scale for those between 0% and 400% of the poverty line .
Be mindful that if one is beyond 400% of the poverty line , then the federal government is not " taking private property without just compensation " and the government has zero to say about whether one maintains an insurance policy period .
The biggest issue with medical procedures is the absurd costs and much as costs for in network procedures are negotiated , insurance products and procedures need to be customized to that end .
And yet for political expedience the pubes pandered to those whining that expending anywhere from 3% to 9% of their annual income for medical insurance , literally a tax the pubes had been blubbering about , was less preferred than walking into a medical facility and bilking the taxpayer !
Getting rid of the individual mandate was one of the dumbest acts possible .
Welcome to the real world idiots !
