Biden, as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, largely resolved these problems, reducing maximum premium payments (net of subsidies) and eliminating the cliff at 400 percent. The result is to make health insurance coverage substantially more affordable, especially for middle-income Americans who previously earned too much to be eligible for subsidies. Hence the surge in marketplace enrollments.
Biden deserves some political reward for this good news, given that Donald Trump and many in his party…
Fucking election year, everybody fire up the spin. I hate politics :/
This is wildly better than whatever shit the repub propaganda machine is gonna fart out though, so I reckon I’ll be avoiding Facebook and YouTube for a bit ;)
Holding peoples livelihoods, their health, and rights hostage for votes and power is disgusting
True. Can’t imagine what horrors the republicans will get up to if they win.
- Same sex marriage, gone.
- Women voting, gone.
- aborting your father’s rape-baby, gone.
- interracial marriage, gone.
- voting, gone
- human slavery, believe it or not, IN.
- You mean like what Biden and Co did with Respect for Marriage act? If SCOTUS strikes down Loving and Obergefell states can deny licenses to gay and interracial couples.
- Dems did nothing for 50 years about RvW except raise money. Obama had more rot do with losing Roe than SCOTUS
- Slavery still exists in this country, it just goes by a different name, same with Jim Crow.
- Voting isn’t going anywhere
Instead of demanding everyone support your senile pedo Zionist you should be demanding the DNC offer up someone else.
I am asking that they offer someone else. But they don’t listen to me.
And they sure as fuck won’t listen if they get reelected. Re Electing them is a referendum of their prior actions.
You realize you still have slavery to this day, right?
We are all slaves on a corporate plantation.
Yeah that’s fine, but the US has literal slaves doing literal slave labor thanks to the 13th amendment.
Elaborate
Are you unfamiliar with the 13th amendment?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Biden deserves some political reward for this good news, given that Donald Trump and many in his party predicted economic and social disaster if he were elected, and that Republicans, in general, are still talking as if America were suffering from high inflation and runaway crime.
Obamacare — which arguably should really be called Pelosicare, since Nancy Pelosi (who is not, whatever Trump may think, the same person as Nikki Haley) played a key role in getting it through Congress — led to big gains in health insurance coverage when it went into full effect in 2014.
And this gain, unlike some of the other good things happening, is all on Biden, who both restored aid to people seeking health coverage and enhanced a key aspect of the system.
But it wasn’t and isn’t, so what we have instead is a sort of Rube Goldberg device, a mix of gadgets designed to expand access to health care with minimal disruption of existing arrangements.
Those marketplaces, in which insurers are forbidden to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions and buyers receive subsidies to help them pay premiums, are a key part of the system.
Biden, as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, largely resolved these problems, reducing maximum premium payments (net of subsidies) and eliminating the cliff at 400 percent.
The original article contains 903 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 76%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Pelosicare? More like Romneycare? (Centre for American Progress)
Didn’t Romney himself say this would never work at the national level?
Fuck Romney. He deserves no credit at all for something he specifically said he would never do for the nation if given the chance.
It’s my understanding that the individual mandate requires people to buy health insurance from private companies, this means those companies can thrive while offering terrible coverage for high costs without any chance of losing business because of their shady practices. This sounds to me like a plan that a conservative would concoct if they really wanted Laissez-faire / croney capitalism but wanted to placate the left by making it sound like this was entirely government funded.
If this is true, it’s a win-win for the right. Keep it in place and the private medical companies are secure to maintain high profit margins surreptitiously. If it fails, blame the left and you get an easy justification for going back to having no government involvement at all whereby less people pay monthly because there is no individual mandate but the private medical companies are free to charge even more to the people who do pay and when those that don’t pay need medical treatment (everyone eventually in their lifetime) they can charge an arm and a leg and laugh all the way to the bank while medical debt for citizens skyrockets. The best part? If this plan is put in place carefully enough and messaging is carefully crafted, you’ll get nominally left people advocating for it!
Am I wrong?
You’re not wrong. Moderates are in full on denial about how shitty Democrat politicians are and they’re too fucking cowardly to support any ideas to address it.
Sorry not here to contribute just to say I read that as Bidencore and was worried there was a new grotesque genre that had emerged
lol thats just straight up lying isnt it?
I am losing Medicaid starting March 1st because I make $131 a month too much SSDI and am fully disabled. There are 40 million more Americas just like me and there is no solution.
There is a solution. Universal healthcare. There just isn’t the political will. I’m sorry you’re losing Medicaid. I hope you don’t have any chronic health conditions.
There is a solution. Universal healthcare. There just isn’t the political will.
Yeah, and we’ve been trying since Teddy Roosevelt. But hey, at least there’s the political will to support Netanyahu’s genocide. That’s way more important than whatever piddly nonsense poor sick people want.
Vote Biden?
