This is such a fantastic program, a law called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which has pretty much been called unaffordable since it started
New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000
The Trump administration’s proposed new rules for Obamacare plans next year would shift more health care costs to Americans, with much higher deductibles that could lead to greater medical bills.
Under the proposal, people who rely on the Affordable Care Act for their health insurance coverage could choose plans with much lower monthly premiums. But that could leave them exposed to medical expenses totaling thousands of dollars more than A.C.A. plans do now before their insurance would kick in.
Heading into the midterm elections, offering these new plans is one of few options open to the Trump administration to lower Obamacare premiums that do not require congressional approval. Affordability has become a campaign mantra for Democrats: Health care costs were viewed as the top economic concern in a recent public opinion poll from KFF, a health research group.
In his State of the Union address, Mr. Trump blamed “the crushing costs of health care” on the Affordable Care Act, saying the program funneled money to the big insurance companies, He advocated sending the payments directly to Americans, so they could “buy their own health care, which will be better health care at a much lower cost.”
Really, the entire thing needs to be scrapped and redone so that it works correctly, because what it’s done since it started was increase the cost of health insurance and medical care for everyone, including those not on Obamacare. It would be best if it was states doing it, not the federal government, but, the door was opened, and you can almost never close a door on a federal “help” program once it is opened.
Low cost premium plans always had deductibles that were virtually impossible to meet for those who wanted the plans. The premiums themselves kept rising to the point that federal subsidies were out of control. So, what now? All the news outlets and Democrats never actually offer any solutions, because they love that all those medical companies they profess to hate are getting gobs of easy money which gets funneled back to Democrats.
MAGAts, and the Repubes before them, have always hated the idea of universal healthcare. Always. The systems work well in Israel, Canada, Japan, S Korea, Norway, Australia and every other advanced nation on Earth etc, but the globe’s leading plutocracy, the United States of America, prefers to have the working class beholden and suffering. There can be no other interpretation.
It’s all about control. The billionaires have millions of eager foot soldiers to manipulate.
The Repubicuns consistently do whatever they can to saboutage Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA.
Repubicuns “love” America but despise Americans. They report to the plutocrats.
If the plutocrats and their “boy”, the Mad King, are unable to rig the mid-terms they may see a reckoning.
“If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.”
“If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance.”
— Obama before ACA.
How did Obama care affect you personally ? Aren’t you on Medicare ?;
OK. So judge Aileen Cannon of Florida, who turned out to be Mar-a-Lardo Donnie’s personal federal judge is married to Josh Lorence, a FL businessman who used to work with Jack Rosatti, a FL mobster with luxury car dealerships and restaurant. Rosatti, associated with the Colombo family, turns out to be a good friend to Donald J. Trump!
Small world!!
Quite a stretch there, Rimjob.
Pretty sure that Trump being the major developer in NYC during the 70s-80s-90s probably knew every mobster on a first name basis.
William supplied this, but ignored it.
“The Trump administration’s proposed new rules for Obamacare plans next year would shift more health care costs to Americans, with much higher deductibles that could lead to greater medical bills.”
Jesus, you guys are dishonest.
“If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.”
“If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance.”
Taking the Lord’s name in vain won’t change those false assertions.
Let’s discuss dishonesty, shall we?
