It should come as no surprise that health insurance costs have soared after the U.S. government passed an “Affordable Care Act” that was written by the insurance industry.
US National debt is $220 trillion. ~bottom right
US federal debt plus the states and local debt .
“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink”
― George Orwell, 1984
Obamacare was a classic bait and switch scam. Obama told huge whoppers that we Tea Party people called out when he sold it. Obamacare is nothing more than another gigantically expensive welfare program. It is so aggravating to recall that RINOs like Collins passed it and McCain prevented its repeal.
My best friend’s family’s insurance through her work had a $10,000 deductible PER FAMILY MEMBER.
None of them could afford to go to the doctor or hospital when they were sick as a result of that garbage.
At a “$10,000 deductible PER FAMILY MEMBER”, you might as well have NO insurance at all........But then you’d have to PAY THE FINE/TAX FINE/TAX FINE/TAX FINE/TAX FINE/TAX FINE/TAX at the end of the year FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER who did not have insurance...............
But every illegal alien invader gets all the “free”health care they want/need, “free” housing, “free” everything.
And you? Well, you get the privilege of paying for all of it.
I have found that even most Freepers love ObamaCare. They claim they hate it, but when I discuss the details of it with them two things become clear to me: (1) they fully support all the ObamaCare provisions that make health insurance ridiculously expensive, and (2) they just don’t want to pay for it.
I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help you F your life up!
All of this was predicted and many of us tried to warn the fools who supported it.
Absolutely nothing of a surprise about this.
Obama Care destroyed the American health care system for the average American.
Health care has become what used to be considered catastrophic care add on insurance at an astronomical price with even more astronomical deductibles.
That was the Kenyan’s plan.
Good example...I owned a company when Obamacare went into effect. We provided insurance for our employees. The plan at that time included a $1000 deductible, had excellent acceptance and included drug coverage. The premium was $421 per month per employee. Because of the deductible the rate was low so the company paid the deductible for each employee.
So Obamacare goes into effect. The premium per employee more than doubled and the deductible went to $5000. Drug coverage became separate and had its own premium and deductible.
Because of those changes we had to have employees pay a quarter of the premium and we could only cover half the deductible.
Real world effects of the “affordable” care act.
…a new “study”???
We ALL knew this when they began the first push for it.
“Healthcare” was really good until the Clintons saw $$$ in it and declared a “crisis”..
ACA cost me before I retired. Obama’s slight of hand included health care insurance paid by me in my own business as income and moved me into another tax bracket plus having to pay insurance and not being able to write it off. Two years of this cost me between $30-$50K.
Affordable Care Act
Patriot Act
Inflation Reduction Act
Does anyone see a pattern here?
Thanks obama...
CaptainObvious must be working overtime there!!
My health insurance went from $6K for a family of 4 to $18K
So I went without it for 10 years. I figure I saved over $150K even with some serious medical events
