No one is ending health insurance. The mandate and the tax penalty were done away with that is all.This is yet another example of how pathetic the Republican Party has become. Trump was already this pathetic.
Ending the mandate will cause 13 million to no longer be insured. The Republicans will save the money that would be spent on health insurance subsidies. Where do they think these people will get healthcare? Using the system without paying. More children on CHIP ( If Republicans decide to renew it at current levels). Who pays for that? We do.
Trump & the Republicans want to save money by reducing the number signing up for health insurance on the exchanges.
Chickenfuck Trump cut the enrollment period & reduced the outreach to help people get insurance. The same practice these pathetic assholes use to depress the vote.
Republicans keep to their traditions: Keep handing rich people & corporations money & making the middle class pay for it.
Ryan said SS, Medicare & Medicaid is next. After adding a trillion to the deficit, they will cry about debt & blame it on these programs.
The fact is that Republicans suck big slimy moose dick.,
So those estimated 13 million will be choosing not to buy health insurance no one is taking it away from them.
The more relevant question is why do you oppose people making their own choices?
No, dope.
Eliminating the mandate shrinks the risk pool. The younger and healthier will drop out. The cost for those left will rise sharply.
Premiums will rise to the point where many will be priced out altogether.
The costs are rising sharply anyway.
But you don't know why do you? it's because you can't give the unlimited coverage called for by Obammy care without premiums skyrocketing.
The insurance for my employees under 45 is going up 68% for next year. The insurance for my employees over 45 is going up 90%
And that rate hike was in the works way before the repeal of the mandate.
And as I said no one is losing their insurance. They will make their own choices about whether to purchase it.
But you people all have a problem with people making their own choices
Bullshit. Post it up.
It's in my office at the business. I'll scan the relevant pages and post it but you'll still just say I'm making it up.
I want to see it. Premiums going up for the same policy on a person over 45.
I seriously doubt that if the priemums was $1000 last year, it is $1900 this year.
