I guess the White House is all for extending the ACA subsidies, now?
But support may be harder to find in the GOP conference, where many lawmakers say costs are still too high and have been eager to make another run at repealing the ACA. The last effort in 2017 failed when Republicans couldn’t decide on how to provide coverage to millions of Americans who depend on government-run marketplaces for their health care. It’s a dilemma that persists for the party after record numbers signed up for coverage this year.
Hey, you fucks, you know what would make healthcare cheaper? A single payer system. You assholes won’t do that though because your corporate masters won’t allow it.
Profit based health insurance is immoral.
profit based health care is an abomination
This is the core problem, at the end of the day. Average doctor’s salary in the US is higher than any other country in the world. On top of that, a significant chunk of the money you are paying for your health care is going to the hospital admins and support staff, not the doctors. In this issue, health insurance is a catalyst, not the cause. The core problem is that care providers and drug companies can charge whatever they want for services and items, and there is no real countermeasure to this inflationary problem. Medicare sets payment rates for medical services, but this only applies to Medicare enrollees and only applies to medical services. Health insurance is a parasite that feeds on this problem, and accelerates the inflation of health care costs so they can skim off the excess inflation. But the core problem is that there is no US law regulating the prices of medical services, items, or drugs.

California tried that with insulin. Republicans were of course horrified that people could afford it.
For all of Biden’s faults, he did try to extend this at the national level. Naturally, we can’t have that because God says fuck the poors or something (idk what the Evangelicals read but I haven’t read it and I grew up Catholic).
Those divisions:
- Let them die.
- Steal all their money then let them die.
