Obamacare is back

Post by TC Talks » Wed Mar 10, 2021 9:39 pm

This is great news! Think about how many people will get covered.
The American Rescue Plan broadens the subsidies available under the Affordable Care Act for comprehensive health insurance — increasing them for people who are already eligible, and providing new assistance for people with incomes previously too high to qualify. The top set of maps, drawn from calculations made by the Kaiser Family Foundation, show how much the changes will reduce what people pay for health insurance around the country, depending on their location and age.

The changes mean small adjustments for some Americans and very substantial ones for others. For anyone earning around $19,000, subsidies will now be generous enough to sign up for a typical plan with no monthly payment. For someone earning over $51,000, new subsidies could lower premiums by as much as $1,000 a month in the country’s most expensive markets.

Some groups still won’t qualify for help: undocumented immigrants, and poor Americans in states that have not expanded Medicaid under an option provided by the Affordable Care Act. But a large majority of uninsured Americans can now get financial help buying insurance, according to Cynthia Cox, a vice president at Kaiser.

“What this law will do is make it so the majority of uninsured citizens are eligible for free or low-cost coverage,” she said. “This won’t bring us to universal health care, but it will bring us closer to universal eligibility for subsidized health insurance — for two years.”

Free my ass! Someone has to pay the hospitals, hospital staff and Doctors that are providing the healthcare for the newly covered.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Hey asshole, you don't think we already pay because people aren't covered? Who pays the hospital bills for those who have no insurance?
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Biden has done some amazing things and it hasn't been 100 days. Reasonable gun control can't be far off.

Asshole? Is that a term of endearment from someone that goes both ways?.

May want to check the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986. The cost of emergency care required by EMTALA is not covered by the federal government.

Ultimately we pay for care for anybody and everybody without insurance.

Amazing? You mean like continuing the vaccine rollout that the Trump Administration started - with the same vaccine developed when the democrats were saying it couldn't be done?
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Getting back on track, my big issue with the ACA is it has never been affordable for me and a lot of people I know. Since that is part of the name of the law you would think they would fix that. I have checked since signing up reopened and it is more expensive than ever. Ig it going to be aorund it needs to be fixed and actually be affordable.

It still is in Michigan. The issue was with supply, and manufacturing has kicked up, as it would have regardless of who won in November.

The planning and logistics of the last administration regarding the rollout flat out stunk.
