Majority Leader John Thune announced that the Senate will vote Thursday on a Republican-led alternative to Democrats’ three-year extension of soon-to-expire enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits.
Welp, 8 Democrats have nibbling on their faces so far…
I wish there were some way for the damage to be limited to Maga and the Republicans.
Our insurance and medical expenses will go from $3.5K this year to at least $11K next, and that’s with few medical problems. We could easily hit $20K if care is actually needed because co-pays, deductibles and max out of pockets have more than doubled and actually quadrupled in some cases. We do not have that kind of money lying around and our spending on other things is going to come to a halt.
If you think the economy is slowing because of Trump’s tariffs, foreign export collapse, resulting unemployment, Federal employee layoffs and government shutdowns, wait until this explosion of medical costs hits people’s budgets. I won’t be the least bit surprised Trump and his ilk cause another Depression.
Is there, though? The subsidies were government dollars going into private insurance companies in the marketplace. It’s not that insurance rates are skyrocketing, it’s that the government is no longer chipping in. Some people are no longer going to be able to afford insurance, which means lost subscribers.
