What do you think happens with the ACA subsidies?

[MarathonMike]

Just a guess, but I think they will be extended for one year NOT three years with a contingency that costs are brought more inline with employer sponsored plans. What say you?

Sounds reasonable to me. In a year, the Democrats will be in control of Congress, and then maybe we can get about fixing health care.

Um yeah, I guess you forgot it was Obama and the Democrats who jammed the ACA down everyone's throats.

By jamming it down their throats, you mean, "Won a decisive election with a super majority in Congress, and STILL try to do everything they could to get some Republican Support, for what was essentially their idea."

Free, free, free! Does anyone work for a living any more or does everyone vote for the one promising the most?

Imagine jamming something down people's throats that makes their life better. What bastards.

You have to work or your spouse work to qualify for O-Care, no? You have to work and your employer does not offer healthcare, is how it started....?

Please God, don't let those liberal nincompoops back in control of our country. Next time they'll wreck it for good. And as far as the ACA goes, do what Trumpy said and give the money directly to the people and not the crooked insurance companies.

The subsidies need to end as the dems said they would.

I see one year with some adjustments and carve outs cutting down on fraud.

In January, I predict many stories of people suffering once the ACA supplemental covid subsidies end. Writers, entrepreneurs, self-employed professionals, and Onlyfans content creators making over $100K per year will be required to pay a bigger share of their own health premiums.

Such stories will not resonate, no matter how the media tries to spin it.

Any extension will have to have an income cap. Republicans will not go back to taxing tips and overtime so that people who "hate to punch a clock" can have "free" health insurance.

HC will simply become less affordable with more subsidies, as well as services becoming less than stellar ......~S~

Or Republicans will just cave, because TACO.

I say it sure is a good thing Donald Trump enacted his beautiful Obamacare replacement so we don't have to worry about subsidies any more and health care is cheaper for everyone.

• They go away
• People go without insurance
• Preventative healthcare that costs pennies compared to acute care that costs hundreds of dollars falls by the wayside
• Morons on the right who thought they were saving money by sticking it to poor people see their local taxes get raised/bonds--aka debt--get sold to pay for expanded emergency care.
• US Life expectancy likely continues to either plateau or fall

Stuff it looney tunes.

In 2024, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified at least 160,000 applications with likely unauthorized changes, up from 30,000 in 2023.

By "fixing" do you mean "price fixing?" If anyone can make things worse ... it's the DummyCrats.

Individual coverage exchange plans created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have a glaring problem: nearly 12 million enrollees, or 35 percent of all exchange enrollees in 2024, do not use their benefits at all.2 For these enrollees, known as zero-claim enrollees, health coverage did not translate to health care. Many zero-claim enrollees are known as “phantoms”—people who are enrolled but not practically in the market because they are enrolled in other coverage or are unaware of their exchange plan coverage. Large insurers benefit greatly from phantom enrollment, as they collect billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to cover individuals who cost them nothing.

You find it suspicious if someone doesn't file a claim on their insurance?

Were you dropped on your head at birth?

Actually, that's the way the rest of the world does it.

It's why an MRI only costs $280 in France but $1000 in the US.
