Why? Cost is cost. SOMEone is paying, even if you aren't.
It is important context though.
It becomes disingenuous to say everyone on the exchanges had much higher premiums, leaving out how subsidies insulate people from those increases.
But you are certainly right in that the cost does not go away. It gets paid. But how that tab is paid is just being fully clarified.

wrong. its disingenuous to include the subsidies in the prices. because its a lie. if the price before a subsidy is 100 a month, the price isnt 60 because 40 of it was paid by someone else. the price is still 100. by saying anything but the FULL price is, in itself, willful deception.
but i completely expect someone who defends the steaming pile of shite that is the ACA to be willfully deceitful in their presentation of price by touting the post-subsidy price instead of the TRUE price.

quote:It's even more disingenuous to count those subsidies as "savings" on medical care costs. You're leaving out how subsidies are paid for by other people.
