Good God! That is outrageous!
I check with my doc, and he said he’d accept payment per visit from an individual.
That actually sounds like the cheapest way to go if a person could find a reasonable catastrophic plan someplace.
The law says people under Obamacare will pay something like 4-7% of their income for premiums. Regardless of the insurance company’s premium increase.
So if someone’s income doesn’t change much, and the insurance company raises rates 50%, the person (voter) doesn’t pay any more than the previous year. The gov’t pays the increase.
The voters getting this insurance won’t care about it. The taxpayer should care about it, but hell, the Fed can just print that money.
It’s insane end to end.
