You just don’t get it.
I’d rather pay for the the low percentage of folks who can’t afford coverage...via Medicaid, like BEFORE 0CommieCare, than to be FORCED to pay ADDITIONAL tax $$ for those who sign up for 0Care...AFTER they’re diagnosed...via a MANDATED TAX collected since this monstrosity was passed.
I am essentially paying double...for those I’ve been paying for and for those who now feel healthcare is a right, for pre-existing conditions, via 0Care.
My taxes have only gone UP, while my coverage has diminished, since 0CommieCare was passed.
Curious...are you on 0CommieCare?
Covering pre-existing conditions that the person most often had no control over is not the same as them thinking “health care is a right”. Many don’t.
It’s a fairness issue.
I have employer provided health care where those with pre-existing conditions are automatically covered. I think it very unfair for insurance companies to not put self employed and small business employees in larger groups and cover pre-existing conditions. If you can explain the fairness in them no doing that I’ll listen.
We actually have better coverage now than we had before ACA. Our insurance premiums did go up, but at the beginning of 2017 we went to high deductible with an HSA. That was a union proposal, it turned out so good the entire company went to it.
