Liberals hate the fact people can buy health insurance without the Obamacare premium.
Not surprisingly, there’s a fake news media blackout on it.
“Obamacare is a terrible deal for virtually everyone who doesn’t have a very costly pre-existing condition, such as cancer. “
Not true. For the people that make too much to qualify for Medicaid but Not much more, Obama care is quite lucrative. Their premiums are super low, and their deductibles are minimal. This is called cost saving reduction. Anyone can Google it, and I don’t know why this author didn’t. It’s not very well advertised, probably because they didn’t want the people that are paying through the nose for Obama care to know that they are subsidizing people that basically get their medical for free.
Only people with a low IQ are still enrolling in Obama Care.
I’ve been hearing a lot of advertisements over the past year for “non-Obamacare” policies - now that they are legal again with the penalty gone.

Farm Bureau in Tenn. has several good health insurance options that are NOT ObamaCare, and considerably less expensive, even accounting for possible “tax” on no purchasing through the exchange.
Off topic, but, I can’t wait to hear the wailing from the liberals, about the judge ruling Obamacare is unconstitutional, because they repealed the tax/penalty attached to Obamacare.
Remember that John Roberts’ upholding Obamacare was based on the penalty really being a tax. Now that this tax is gone, per Roberts’ own criteria, I would expect the Supreme Court could overrule their previous opinion.
This lower court ruling will eventually hit the Supreme Court for resolution.
I’m no attorney, but it seems persuasive. If Obamacare was originally upheld only because of the penalty/tax/compulsive payment, and that aspect of the law is gone, is the rest of it still constitutional?? We will find out.
In 2018 only about 17 states and the district have ACA exchanges.
Unsustainable ACA Exchanges continue to die as planned. The failure was supposed to cause Socialized single payer Healthcare based upon nasty European lines.
Obama for all of his eight years as POTUS has a “ZERO” accomplishment legacy. Yes, the truth hurts...but, the truth is still always the truth!!! Worst POTUS in the entire history of the USA.
They also do NOT tell you that every penny of those ‘subsidies’ is ADDED to your income every year with a 1099, so you get taxed on that money.
“Short-term plans can be bought for 12-month terms (renewable up to 36 months) for a fraction of the cost of an Obamacare plan”
And what happens to your short term plan when you come down with a serious illness? Do you get dropped when the term expires, or the premiums go through the roof?
“That means this is the first year since the Affordable Care Act was passed into law that Americans won’t be penalized for choosing not to buy health insurance plans they don’t want and often can’t afford to use.”
Did they also change the law so that emergency rooms are not forced to treat irresponsible people that choose not to get insurance?
Medicaid eligibility expansion has reduced ACA enrollment.
Imagine how low the enrollment figures would be if all Americans were allowed to buy any plan that suited their needs and budget.
