He just wants another excuse to send individuals checks with his name on it. Could be a good opportunity to virtue signal as well if the plan winds up being exclusionary toward singles or other groups.
Is he really just replacing like 6k+ valued ACA subsidies with 2k in subsidies that are implemented more stupidly
This plus the 50 year mortgages and I’m starting to feel relieved I’ll probably die before the real aftermath of this shit hits.
Worst health outcomes than their biggest adversaries, spending more than their biggest adversaries, crying more than their biggest adversaries… This is America and has been for a long time.
Thanks America for keeping us all down.
holy shit is it really 26000?? that’s more than what i pay in tax every year in europe. (granted i am poor but)
the US already spends more public funds in healthcare per capita than every country with free healthcare.
on top of that, we pay a shit ton extra for insurance, then a shit ton more in copays/deductibles, plus a shit ton more because something isn’t included…
you could lower taxes by thousands and give everyone free healthcare.
the US healthcare is nothing but a massive scam. the kind where the perpetators kill tens of thousands per year and rake in endless money. there’s no justification besides rich people like being rich, even if it means killing thousands of innocents. in any civilized world those executives should be tortured to death.
Assuming a typical family of four, 2k a month for marketplace insurance is actually pretty cheap. My partner just got his tax documents, and between him and his employer, they spent 10k last year to insure a single adult. I’ve got a ton of health problems, and we’ve talked about adding me to his plan, but that’s an extra $500 a month.
Tbh this is also shocking to me as an American. I am not sure if this is only for marketplace plans or a specific kind or what
The marketplace just had their subsidies cut. Its so funny its like “here’s less than 1/3 back what we cut to line our pockets, you filthy animals, PS, fuck off and die, signed Donald Pedophile Trump.”
He’s basically moving the money to the insurance companies, this is stupid.
26,000 for a high deductible plan.
So you can get 2k, to spend 26K, to spend 10K in deductibles before insurance covers a damn thing.
Typical NYC slumlord style: “Free first months rent.”
I looked at an apartment once which was the upstairs of a house. Dogs had eaten large chunks out of the bedroom doors and there were two giant piles of dog shit left in the kitchen. The owner was enormous and unable to climb stairs so she hadn’t seen the state of the place after the previous tenants had moved out. After I told her what the situation was, she said if I cleaned it up myself she would knock off $200 … from the security deposit. Get fucked.
His daddy was exactly that. A slumlord. Rotten apple from a rotten tree
“It’s only $26,000 that’s like the price of a single bottle of wine. Why are the peasants complaining?”
Republican healthcare plan can be sum up as “get fucked and die you dirty peasant”.
Adding $660,000,000,000 to the federal deficit annually and still not making a dent in people’s healthcare costs?
A single-payer universal healthcare system would be cheaper, as almost every other country’s systems show.
The real trick is to get private equity and for-profit corporations out of healthcare. All they do is drive up costs while lowering outcomes.
Healthcare should be a public service, funded by the government.
Yeah, the US actually pays more PUBLIC funds per person than most other nations. Then the private cost on top - all for worse health outcomes.
We need more Luigis just from a financial perspective.
UNH, CVS, ELV and CI share holders disagree with you and thanks to the SCOTUS Citizen United decision they have to money and the legal framework to legally bribe politicians. I’ll suggest to invest in those companies rather than flight them.
as almost every other country’s systems show
You can take out the “almost” here. Literally every other country on Earth pays half or less per capita than what we pay in the US, and this has been the case for decades.
🤦♂️
Medicare will be next to go. Don’t think for a minute that it’s safe
Concepts of a plan
10% off, typically corporate garbage. Whenever you see something with like $100 off you can usually just times it by ten to figure out the real cost.
$2,000 off x 10 = $20,000 which is surprisingly close to the actual cost.
Also, weird, the annual price is going up by 2000 dollars
If you don’t buy insurance, do you still get the money? Or is it like a coupon.
$26000?? In Germany, which is neither known for a bad nor for a cheap health care system, the maximum a person is able to pay is 11299.68 € regardless of the number of family members who are included. Ok - if both parents are working the family might pay up to 22599.36 €, but only if both parents were earning more than the cut-off. The majority of people pays far less.
Wait, am I reading this correctly? When you say 11299.68, that includes not only the person working, but also their spouse and children??? How much does that cover?
Right now, I’m lucky to have possibly the best healthcare plan in the US through my wife’s job. She was able to add me to her plan for $8580 per year, but it fully covers almost everything with no deductible - something basically unheard of in the US. In comparison, the cheapest marketplace plan I could have gotten would have been something like $8400 per year, with an $8500 deductible, and then it only would have covered 25% of expenses after that. Before I got on her plan, it usually cost me $300 to see a doctor for a regular cold. I’m in my 30s, a normal weight, reasonably fit, and don’t have any health problems other than occasional acid reflux. Under my previous plan, the pharmacy was going to charge me $980 to get a 2 month supply of acid reflux medication (40 mg esomeprazole magnesium tablets). So much winning living in the US. 🙄
In America, the AVERAGE is $26000. That’s for middle of the road insurance for a family. I have multiple friends whose entire family pays well over 30k - 35k a year for medical insurance (2,800 a month)
