Subsidies were greatly expanded by the Biden administration during the COVID-19 pandemic as an emergency measure, but Democrats have fought to keep them permanent. Those subsidies went mostly to Democratic donors....... The nation’s largest health insurance companies have seen good business since Obamacare was first passed........ because of federal government subsidies to the insurance industry, which government estimates show totaled $1.8 trillion in 2023 alone.
This is awesome news, I say!!
How to Get Rich Quick!!
What could be wrong with government subsidies making insurance for all affordable? I have not met anyone who loves their Obamacare because it is so affordable. They love it because it makes all Americans responsible for paying for it. They love seeing big hospitals and clinics being built and drive thru pharmacies on every other corner.
America is getting their health back, they say. Don't you feel real healthy? What's in your wallet?

I have not ever seen such explosive growth associated with new hospitals and clinics though the population pace remains quite subtle.
Heck, one has to spend several minutes looking for a parking space once onsite hospital property. Meanwhile, dozens of patients walk in every minute while dozens walk out. Such a revolving door ......
Meanwhile, we let them medicate us with a drug that has 47 side effects with another drug that has 31 side effects.

Its bullshite. Insurance companies see that the government is going to fund part or all of a premium so they jack up the cost of said premium. Same thing universities did when student loans and grants became more and more prevelant.
Government subsidies make everything go up.

So passing a law requiring everyone to have a product helps corporations that make that product? Shocking, I know, but there is more....
In that law, the govt will subsidize people to purchase the product that is required by law to purchase. And this will allow the corporations to raise their prices every single year....

It is a shame people do not even get a chance to hear about it until it is exposed on social media.

This is the same situation with stuff like TOPS in Louisiana. Tuition skyrocketed once State money got involved.

Heck, the Obama phones are free yet the non-Obama phone can be almost two grand!!

We have a lot of low IQ retards that bomb this board, yet always avoid these threads. Not a peep from them.

No shite???
I kind of had a clue this was happening when the cost of simply having Health Insurance QUADRUPLED as soon as it passed.
I distinctly recall our Muslim/Racist President saying: "You like your doctor, you get to keep your doctor." and his very slick distinctive LIE.
In other news, water is wet.
The sky is blue.
