It’s the perfect setup—for them.
Meanwhile, nearly $200 billion a year flows to insurers and hospitals in the name of making healthcare “more affordable,” yet medical care remains out of reach for millions. The winners are always the same group: lawmakers, health insurance executives, and hospital system CEOs. The losers are the rest of us—families and workers who can’t afford the care they’ve already been taxed to pay for, even though we were promised that we’d be saving money because of this system. I spend thousands of dollars a year for coverage that doesn’t cover diddly squat until I max out my deductible.
Yes a sick effing joke!
If the common people ever really figured out how they have been screwed by these sanctimonious hyporcites, they'd all be swinging from lampposts.

A line-up of criminals. 'If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.' Ha!
They’re ALL traitors
Except maybe the kid
Whach you talking about, Willis?
Long past time they abolish the ACA.
😀😃😄🤣🤣🤣🤣😛😜😝
Yeah, the kid’s an innocent. Window dressing and all...
Doctors and healthcare places had to make up for loss of pushing opioids and getting old time kickbacks and free trips and presents for pushing Big Pharma moneymakers.
RE: They’re ALL traitors

“The boy at the ACA signing ceremony was Marcelas Owens, who later came out as a transgender teen and began using the name Marcelas. After being known as the “Obamacare kid,” Marcelas has spoken about the challenges of being identified with a past identity and is now moving forward as a transgender teen who identifies as female.”
“Marcelas was 11 years old when he stood next to President Obama at the signing of the Affordable Care Act in 2010.
Public identity: He was dubbed the “Obamacare kid” and frequently featured in media because of his connection to the event and his mother’s story of losing her health insurance.
“Around age 17, Marcelas began to publicly share that he was a transgender teen who identified as female. He stated that he was “going through a reinvention process” and was “not the Obamacare kid anymore”.”
“This is a big f*cking deal”... Remember?
Some people belong in the big F*cking prison over it.
Give the kid time.

Get rid of odoofuscare. Save the taxpayers a lot of money.
just dont subsidize it and it will die by itself
We can do better. Democrats use the addict plan for everything. And what’s the addict plan? It’s where short term choices are a disaster for the long term.
On our side we need to stop pretending this issue will just go away if we ignore it long enough and with enough passion. Take the issue away by coming up with a medical system that incentivizes the rational choices a careful family would make. Let strggling citizens have ‘accounts’ with a few thousand in them - and money that’s NOT spent on medical care in a year is ‘refunded’ as a percentage to the citizens a few weeks before Christmas. It’s the citizens job to find a decent but not too expensive a doctor... Then random checks of hospitals and nursing homes rather than one big inspectiom and tie reinbusement to thoss randaom (ckeck 30 items and walk out inspections) Short staffed? The institution loses a percentage of what they get paid per paitiesn. Rather than bonus paid for short shifting patiesns bonuses will be paid for keeping cost down by passing all the ‘inspections’ and keeping the gov reimbursements high. Other incentives include things like centralized offices with labs and equipment in place so citizens arem’t running all over town to satisfy testing requirements. AI can do all the first level diagnosis... Insurance companies aren’t even part of the first thousand a family spends...
Yeah
😄😂🤣

OH MY GOSH 😮😯😯😲😲
