Promising to leave Obamacare, Medicare, and Social Security intact all while lowering inflation. What is largely driving inflation is the government spending/printing money. The interest payments on the federal debt now exceeds the defense budget .

You’re right! It’s obvious we MUST vote for Skamala! She’ll fix all of our problems. 🤣
Medicare Part B
$100 doctor bill
$20 patient co-pay
$20 covered by Part B premiums
$60 paid via taxation
doctor pays ~40% marginal 1040 rate
staffers pay ~27% marginal rate
~$33 paid via doctor office earned income taxation
~$27 paid by outside party taxation, including that of corporations
Both sides are promising to magically reduce inflation while increasing spending. Who would have thought that by 2024 Bill Clinton would be too conservative not only for the Democratic Party but the Republican as well.
“Actual Medicaid enrollment in 2021 for people below the age of 65 was 71.6 million people.”
“according to CBO’s latest estimates, the cost of the ACA will be $204 billion in 2022: $116 billion from the Medicaid expansion, $78 billion from the [premium tax credits] PTCs, and $10 billion on its Basic Health Program, an alternative to the PTCs for lower-income enrollees in the states of New York and Minnesota.”
“Only 4.5 million people who are lawfully present in the United States lack health insurance and are not eligible for Medicaid, PTCs to buy an exchange plan, or employer-sponsored insurance. This is only 1.7 percent of the American under-65 population and indicates that most people without health insurance have made a voluntary decision to be uninsured.”
RE: Where have all the fiscal conservatives gone?
Long time passing.
Gone to be budget busting soldiers every one.💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

I’m still waiting for Trump’s “beautiful” plan to replace Obamacare.
If the FDA was abolished, all new drugs for the US market would have to be approved by say Health Canada or the EU equivalent of the FDA.
The Canadian/EU drugs would simply be imported into the US and would sell for just marginally more than in Canada or the EU.
Some medical proposals from my profile page:
DRUG APPROVAL
Drugs approved by the European Union/Health Canada would be deemed eligible for import, sale and use in the USA six/eighteen months after such approval unless Congress acts otherwise.
NEW DRUG PLANS
Federal PPACA exchanges would offer Interstate Class Drug Plans,
exempt from state control, that to be fully federally subsidy eligible must cover at least:
1. 80% of all recombinant drugs by key active entity
(or 100% less the percentages held by the top three domestic rights holders by percentage),
2. 80% of all FDA breakthrough drugs by key active entity
(or 100% less the percentages held by the top three domestic rights holders by percentage),
3. 80% of all drugs covered by a key active entity patent
(or 100% less the percentages held by the top three domestic rights holders by percentage),
4. 90% of all WHO “essential” drugs
Any percentage shortfalls would result in twice the percentage reduction in the federal subsidy amount and must have the word ‘Deficient’ in the drug plan name to be at all federal subsidy eligible.
This system would allow for genuine negotiation between drug plans and drug companies. Drug plans would have an incentive to try to buy drugs from drug companies and drug companies would have an incentive to make deals to make sales.
All drugs would be supplied at on an all-the doctors prescribe basis. The co-pays would be roughly equal to mere manufacturing cost.
The baseline federal drug subsidy would be the average policy holder age (as of the beginning of the policy period) divided by 3 taken as a percent of PPACA baseline subsidy amount for the PPACA household.
EXAMPLE A: For a PPACA household with a 34-year-old, a 36-year-old, and a two-year-old, the baseline federal drug subsidy would be 8% ((34+36+2)/(3*3))% of the PPACA household’s baseline subsidy amount.
EXAMPLE B: For a single PPACA policy of age 60, the baseline federal drug subsidy would be 20% (60/3)% of the PPACA household’s baseline subsidy amount.
A&B Medical Service Plans
A&B Medical Service Plans would have the same medical service coverage as Medicare Parts A & B. They would not have built-in drug coverage that Medicare Part B currently has. They would be PPACA subsidy eligible up to the PPACA baseline subsidy amount for the PPACA household less the household’s federal drug subsidy.
A&B Medical Service Plan coverage providers would have to continue to offer PPACA coverage plans unless the provider’s PPACA plan(s) would have less than 10,000 subscribers in total.
A&B Medical Service Plans would have to keep their funds in federally regulated financial institutions.
The money was so worthless it wasn't even worth using as toilet paper:
I wish someone would vow to protect our rights like a junkyard dog.

America is fiscally and morally bankrupt. The end approaches rapidly.
Thomas Sowell said it best when idiots say, “what will you replace Obamacare with?”
To which he replied, “that’s like asking a doctor with what will he replace a cancerous tumor cut out of your body. You don’t replace a tumor with anything. You get rid of it.”
