Back in the day Obamacare opponents, and some supporters, warned that Obamacare would skyrocket the costs of deductibles, premiums, and actual healthcare, as insurance companies and healthcare providers raised costs because the government was paying for it, for one. And what did we see? Deductibles, premiums, and healthcare skyrocketing for both Obamacare plans and non-Ocare plans. So, now
Democrats seek next ObamaCare ahead of midterms amid rising health costs
There is growing momentum within the Democratic Party to find its next ObamaCare heading into the midterms, as healthcare costs become more untenable and American anger over affordability persists.
Healthcare has consistently ranked as a top issue for voters heading into this year’s midterm elections. June polling from Emerson College found that healthcare ranked in the top five issues for voters, behind the economy, threats to democracy and immigration.
The expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits dealt a heavy blow to Democrats in Congress, who carried out the longest government shutdown in history to get a vote on extending the subsidies.
In the wake of the expired tax credits, premiums jumped by more than 20 percent and ACA enrollment dropped this year after previously experiencing four consecutive years of record growth.
The thing is, those credits were simply covering up the true costs of Ocare, mostly for the premiums, which kept going year after year from the get-go. They didn’t cover up the cost of deductibles and out of pocket costs.
BTW, immigration ranked higher than healthcare, and ‘climate change’ doesn’t even make the top 10 list
In March, the Center for Health and Democracy (CHD) unveiled its proposal for a 2028 healthcare platform it’s seeking to rally Democrats behind, called “Medicare by Choice.”
Put together by former Democratic aides and staffers at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, it would allow all Americans the option of enrolling in Medicare regardless of age, even allowing employers to select Medicare by Choice as their employees’ workplace benefit.
So, just a different way of creating a government run health plan. Surprise?
