SO the insurance companies increase premiums and automatically get more tax dollars in their pockets. Sweet.
This is so the rest of us can pay for the parasites, illegals, DC lawyers and the salaries of the 50,000 bureaucrats that stole our healthcare.
I paid $740/month (Aetna) and all I got was a lousy policy. (No subsidy - all out of pocket.)
The planned failure of Obamacare and the planned switch to single payer has been somewhat derailed.
Throw the thousands of pages of this financial and medical disaster into several industrial shredders and start over. Who thought that a coven of dunces, headed by Obama, Pelosi and Reid, could come up with a one-size-fits-all health plan that would work and wouldn’t bankrupt the country?
The subsidy calculation is supposed cap premium costs at specific percentage of the person's earnings. Premiums go up, salaries don't keep up, eventually people hit the cap. After that the gov eats the rest.
Expanded Medicaid has a schedule to shift costs to the states starting this year, and eventually gets to 10% by 2020. States are already having budgetary issues with the lower percentages that kick in this year. The libs are already trying to blame these cuts on the GOP and a result Trump's election. This turd has been coming down the pipe since they passed the law in 2010.
Let me get this straight - Obama(S)care was passed supposedly to eliminate the uninsured while simultaneously LOWERING healthcare costs...
And has accomplished just shifting WHO is uninsured, while simultaneously exacerbating the skyrocketing costs...
what a deal!
