The ACA: 7 Years Later
Posted on 3/24/17 at 8:57 am

Some facts to think about as your Representatives ponder whether to royally frick you over today at 10 Eastern. (Mine's John Lewis, he's on the right side of history on this vote)
LINK
Lowest uninsured rate on record:
No death spiral, 72% can get plan for <$75/month:
More evidence against a death spiral:
Premium increases were largely a one-time adjustment, hitting counties that underpriced the most the hardest:
CBO also says market not in a death spiral - premiums nearly match CBO's 2017 projections:
ACA has extended the life of the Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund:
ACA has reduced the budget deficit over the long term:
ACA has reduced inequality:
Healthier people miss fewer days of work and are more productive:
And those increases have been to full time jobs (not a job-killing bill, like your Reps lied to you and said):
More data that the ACA is helping jobs:
Shift in Readmission incentives has led to a reduction, and greater patient safety/outcomes:
HACs (pt safety) are also down due to incentives in the ACA:
For those with employer-provided healthcare, the premium growth (for both the employer and the employee) declined sharply, and even moreso when you include total out-of-pocket costs:
ACA also helped insurers slow per-enrollee spending growth:
Healthcare prices slowest growth in 50 years, now tracks inflation (before was > inflation):
ACA helped downward revisions of all national health expenditures:
ACA's out of pocket limits have expanded to nearly everyone:
Expanded coverage means more care - states with larger drops in uninsured rates saw a larger drop in those not seeing the Dr due to cost
All states saw a reduction in the uninsured:
Uninsured rates have fallen across ALL Income groups:
Not very hard to tell what caused the uninsured rate to drop <10% for the first time ever:
These are the facts, the data. They are not your personal anecdotes, they are the situation as it currently stands and which some of you want to destroy because you hate Obama.
Thanks, Obama!

Stop peddling your FAKE NEWS, you stupid cumquat

I really like your premium for an individual making $25,000 a year. What a useful stat for the people that the ACA has fricked. I see nothing about how it's affected the middle class, why might that be?

1) I'm not clicking on that link
2) Sure, Trump won, Obama's policies lost, Insurers are leaving the marketplace, premiums are skyrocketing all because.... it's a good plan.
3) Obamacare is being aborted whether you like or not. The real question, is what is replacing it, more of the same, or the free market, conservative approach?

It's still, after 7 years, a shitty expensive wealth redistribution scheme labeled as a Healthcare program that awards losers for being losers. Get a fricking Job should be the name of the Next Healthcare plan.

Then why aren't dems fighting to keep it?
Why are premiums spiking and key promises broken?

So the best you have is the uninsured rate dropping? No shite it drops when you are penalized if you are uninsured.
Posted on 3/24/17 at 9:01 am to BamaAtl
And it will all go away, no matter how many cherry-picked charts you post.

The cost of health insurance under the Affordable Care Act is expected to rise an average of 22 percent in 2017, according to information released by the Obama administration Monday afternoon. Still, federal subsidies will also rise, meaning that few people are likely to have to pay the full cost after the rate increases to get insurance coverage.
Success.

I can't wait for you to lose your shilling job when Kenyacare gets repealed.
Posted on 3/24/17 at 9:03 am to BamaAtl
So you're saying people will take something that's given to them free of charge or partially paid for by someone else??
I mean, who knew?

Mine is Steve Scalise. I hoped he whipped those votes together!
Posted on 3/24/17 at 9:05 am to BamaAtl
So how many of those "insured" are able to pay $12,000 in deductibles each year they need significant care?
You're a clown, no one respects your opinion on this and your shilling for this disaster is laughable.

"We think they will ultimately be surprised by the affordability of the premiums, because the tax credits track with the increases in premiums," said Kevin Griffis, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services.
quote:
The 22 percent rise reflects the average for all insurance marketplaces, both federal and state-based exchanges for which data are available. For insurance purchased through the federal HealthCare.gov exchange the rise will average 25 percent.
quote:
While the average premiums on the benchmark health plans are increasing, the government says more than 70 percent of people buying insurance on the marketplaces created by the law could get a health plan for less than $75 a month for 2017. To get the best deal, people would have to pick a low-cost plan with limited benefits and take advantage of all the subsidies available. People who already have coverage through the exchanges can often save money by switching plans, the administration said. More than three-quarters of people could save money by switching to the lowest-cost plan within the level of coverage, such as bronze or silver, that they've previously selected.

It's a Ponzi scheme. It screwed the middle class.

What good is having insurance if I have to spend 20 grand in premiums and deductible before I get any coverage?
