Exactly as was predicted...which the Left called “right wing lies!” “Republican lies!” , etc.

“I do not understand why Republicans do not want the poor and the sick to be able to get healthcare” Obama said vs. actually responding to the valid concerns and criticisms of the legislation.

[stanne]

Why would anyone ever trust Obama for anything?

Pfft. We live in Upstate New York and for coverage for my husband and I even though I am semi-retired and run my husband’s very small HVAC business I was paying well over $1,100 a month for basically catastrophic hospitalization. Everything else was extra.

If she’s working as a part-time photographer I’d say that she needs to get a full-time job and it didn’t really say I don’t believe what her husband did so they must be low wage earners. Obamacare has always sucked.

[AbolishCSEU]

Amen.

The administration really needs to start 1099ing housing subsidy recipients. That should cut down on the post January 30th Carnival Cruises.

[Owen]

If breast cancer is the cause of the jump, that will have nothing to do with subsidies.

It also can’t be true because Obamacare forbids companies from pricing on pre existing conditions.

And lastly, and I may not have this right, the current situation is NOT that the subsidies are going to expire. It is that an increase in subsidies that were added to the previous subsidies for Covid . . . are going to expire. So there will still be the 2019 + inflation subsidies present.

The article looks bogus.

it was always a scam. Always.

[Macoozie]

“that’s more than our mortgage”

You have a house?
You don’t need the Welfare of Goobermint subsidies like Obamacare Giveaways.

[Secret Agent Man]

I’m just guessing her insurance was always high, its just the subsidies (other folks money) took care of most of it. Now that its gone she has to cover all of her insurance premium out of her own pocket.

..... I don't know what they are all complaining about .... This is what they all voted for ..... Affordable Care actually looks like to the Democrats ..... After all it's in the name ...... "AFFORDABLE" Care Act.

..... I mean ..... Obama and the Democrats would never Lie to you would they?????

...... So go ahead Liberal Leaches ..... Conservatives warned you all about this ..... So Embrace the Suck!!!

The cruise ship product is ruined. It's never going to recover a customer base that makes for a healthy business. A bunch of hoochie mammas tweaking in a piss filled wading pool, and a bunch of wig ripping hood rat galz going 280 pounds a copy while they assault one another is not going very far on most folks vacation planners.

I would rather crawl the Appalachian trail on my hands and knees over broken glass, than book a carnival or any cruise line passage.

Catastrophic coverage plus Direct Patient Care ($70.00/month per person age <65 in my area).

[sheana]

Actually I think they are quoting the cost for the yEar. At least it sounds like it the way it’s written. And I’ve seen other articles who have the same type of figures but they have actually said that’s the cost for the whole year. If that’s for a year why the heck is she whining? That’s CHEAP!!!

“The best way to triple any cost for any goods or services is to have the government subsidize them.”

And have the government force you to have those goods or services.

[wjcsux]

The RATS own all of the 0bamacare act! The Republicans didn’t cast one vote for this huge f*ckup.

[Myrddin]

My employer sponsored plan for myself and my wife ran annual premiums of $13,000 with a $6,800 deductible. It was paid from pre-tax income. I contributed the max allowed to my HSA and FSA accounts on top of those premiums to have resources to pay for the deductibles. We are both retired now and on Medicare.

[blackdog]

If you enter into Medicare and did not have evidence of current and past credible Healthcare coverage, you pay a fine every month for the rest of your life, taken directly out of your social security benefit. And Republicans celebrated the end of the “Mandate”, claiming that would kill off Obamas ACA. It did not. It got much worserer.

[blackdog]

Yep. Same boat here.

[Varsity Flight]

Scam, O-BodyMortgage. ✖️🪨

Wanna fix the ACA problems? Put every federal employee on it, as well as political beasts. If the Beltway bureaucrats had to navigate and use Obamacare, it would be scrapped and replaced before noon on day #1.
