My issue is this: when one side feels strongly about something they use a government shutdown to push an unpopular agenda. The other side roundly and rightly criticizes them, blames them, etc, while t

“Affordable” healthcare, lol. What an absolute dumpster fire.

Another government shutdown? How terrifying.

Obamacare was a failed experiment and was only affordable healthcare when it was subsidized, which is now being exposed.

Only about half the country saw that coming, smh.

You could see it coming, not really like it, but still HAVE to be on it or you can get no coverage. The only people that say it’s cheap are those who buy a plan that won’t do them much good if they have a real emergency. We pay over $2600/mo. with a $3600 deductible—which is also max OOP.

With the largest medical center in the world right here in Houston, there are still only 2 plans in 2025 that allow you to go to Tier One hospitals (Methodist, MD Anderson, etc.). If you need services that only those provide, you pay out the butt.

It’s been that way since ACA started. Premiums have risen from about $500/mo. to the over $2600/mo. they are now in that short span—with deductibles also rising dramatically.

Can’t say it’s all for-profit insurance either because our plan is non-profit run by Harris County Health Dept. It’s the plan most of the doctors we know use because it’s the only plan that will actually cover you for a major, specialized procedure, cancer, or one of those type issues at one of the Tier One hospitals. Other plans make you go to the local community hospital, and many doctors, anesthesiologists in that hospital system aren’t even covered.

Mother in law, (voted for president pedo) got on it recently saying  how cheap her rate was. I just laughed 

They love it

It is based on income, if she does not make much money - you and I are subsidizing her premiums. 

When it initiated, I went on to see if it was cheaper than my work plan.....and it was not - back then I would of paid over $800.00 a month with a ridiculous deductible. 

It is a low key form of socialism

It's basically a Medicare Advantage Plan system for those under 65 with a lot higher cost for the enrollee. I'm just hoping we can keep some form of coverage for 2 more years. I'd be happy with a catastrophic plan. But, the law doesn't allow us to purchase one. They basically limit choice/freedom.

Good news for Federal Workers!

A district judge from Northern California put on the bench by Clinton.  Nuff said!

PS:  Trump either has the right to do it or he doesn’t.   I bet he has the right and this will be ANOTHER judge overturned!

 Never thought I’d see so many MAGA happy to see people loose there jobs placed on unemployment.  
This is all apart of the great economy and the Big Beautiful bill.  Even the farmers who voted for him are complaining.

Wait until you see the changes for 2026.  Emergency  room visit was $150.00 it is going up to $450.00 co pay.

Why wasn’t it designed to be affordable on it’s own as promised from the get go?

Were we lied to?

Where is the replacement?

lol, 24/7

Just can’t handle admitting we were lied to about the government providing affordable healthcare.

And it wasn’t Trump.

LT, he controls all three.  Including Kennedy. We are 9 months in.
