https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/03/upshot/when-health-insurance-prices-rose-last-year-around-a-million-americans-dropped-coverage.html
Last year, as insurance prices rose by an average of just over 20 percent around the country, people who qualified for Obamacare subsidies hung onto their insurance. But the increases appear to have been too much to bear for many customers who earned too much to qualify for financial help. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

i wonder how much more this cost increase is than the amount of money people got from their tax cut. both were packaged in one bill, after all.

I downgraded my plan.
I was paying like $370 a month, but my premium was projected to go up to like over $500 if I kept the same plan into this year, so I said fuck that and got a lower one >_> --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

the weirdest thing to me is that they are releasing this report and touting it as an example of the failure of obamacare?
I mean it is.. In the sense that the executive branch has a lot of leeway in rolling back elements of the ACA, and the legislature is capable of eliminating portions of the law. But it literally points to actions taken by this congress and this administration no one who actually looks at this report is going to think otherwise. I suppose it may be a good advocacy tool to make the base angry about Obamacare again maybe? idgi --- It's one more thing we do to the poor, the deprived: cut out their tongues . . . allow them a language as lousy as their lives ...

Seems unlikely tbh. Food stamp eligibility ends at 130% FPL, which is below the cut off for Medicaid expansion which does not have copays almost any where, and which cannot have copays above 5% of your annual income by law. I suppose if you're in a non-expansion state these people could fall in the gap, but in that case how are they making their premium payments without subsidy such that their issue with coverage is their copay? Doesn't make sense. --- It's one more thing we do to the poor, the deprived: cut out their tongues . . . allow them a language as lousy as their lives ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean prescription drug prices and higher out of pocket costs are definitely a problem. That person would be an exception rather than the rule, though.

Pointing out that sure, the average person saved x on the tax bill, but their insurance went up 1.5x is a pretty convincing point. ... Copied to Clipboard!
