re: Obamacare Enrollment Falls by Nearly 3 Million in One Year

Obama and the dems didn’t think so when they passed the law, which is why you only benefited from subsidies starting in 2021 and not 2013-2021

Technically true 13 years later, but i wasnt making what I make now at that point. Specific to my situation that isnt factoring in career/financial growth. Through out 2013-2021 we were just barely under the limit of still getting subsidies, it was usually very minimal 1000-1200 a year in assistance. Insurance costs also have not stayed at the levels they were in 2013 subsidies or not.

Subsidies took effect up to 400% of the federal poverty limit, which is still over 100k for a family of 4.

There are plenty of people in my situation that got left staring down a $15,000 immediate increase to their health insurance and decided to just hope for the best and save the $30,000 in subscription based premiums.

Obamacare is horrendous and should be gutted and thrown out. But there is more to the 3 million drop in enrollment than just fraud.
