Obamacare (”Affordable Care Act”) was all about making the people pay more for their healthcare to keep the big hospital groups in business.
Mitt Romney (who did his own version of ‘healthcare’ reform as Gov. of Mass.) said healthcare needed to be reformed because of all the ‘freeloaders’ showing up at the hospitals.
Obamacare was just another bailout.
And I hope Donald Trump repeats what I just wrote.
“all the ‘freeloaders’ showing up at the hospitals.”
true about “freeloaders,” but in my opinion (and I showed up at an ER without insurance more than once)
you should just be BILLED for it and it should be an outstanding debt which can be treated like any other uncollected debt until you pay the thing.
Why was this so hard?
But there are too many healthy people like my wife and I that simply cancelled all health insurance. And because we’re old (62), the rates are so high that the 8% rule kicks in. We don’t have to pay the penalty. :-)
