and then theres the hordes of people that had to drop thier plans because the shutdown ended with the enhanced subsidies too last year, which damaged the DNC further, because they agreed to end it early.

I believe you might have dropped one of these )

Thats the goal.

"Look! Government insurance is broken! We must change to a 100% private system!!"

funny enough it also increase the cost for the ones still on the insurance, because theres less people paying into it now. the deductibles nad OOP are designed to discourage people from using the insurance chronically in pratice.

kinda odd we are barely hearing from mehmet oz these days.

My brain hurts. He literally described how insurance works. You don't get car insurance cause you plan to use it.

I’m sure that you’ll be waiving the coverage mandates attached to the taxes for all those you dumped too

Are you talking about the ACA mandate that Americans have to carry health insurance, and there would be a monetary penalty if an individual didn't (aka "the Individual Mandate")? That mandate was set to a $0 penalty in 7 years ago 2019. Or are you talking about something else?

Reasoning that people who haven’t used their health insurance will never need it is the logic of someone who has never worried about a medical emergency that could spell bankruptcy overnight.

I'm sure this is less about their indifference to what this means for those enrollees, and more about finding ways to cripple the ACA so they can justify killing it altogether.

I thought they repealed those years ago during Trump reign of terror #1.

Which side wants universal healthcare?

Every single republican position becomes a lot more understandable when you consider the fact that they worship death

Stupid, yes. Evil? Definitely.

They want to raise prices for everyone else to kill the program.

This will make the program unsustainable, and then the participants will have no choices left but to die or pay for privatized insurance.

Republicans like to intentionally break things that work to prove that they don't work.

Once they see that the midterm doesn't fix everything. People are only passive now because they have faith that we can vote our way out of this. (Not to say voting is a lost cause, everyone should still vote. If you don't vote you are just handing them ligitimicy because they won't have to cheat as hard to "win")

start blasting these motherfuckers
