How’s that gonna save Americans money . How about give Americans the same free healthcare as the congress and the house gets
So Republicans unveil their *big new health care plan* just in time for Christmas! Surprise, surprise, surprise: it doesn’t actually extend Obamacare’s health insurance subsidies that millions of people rely on to *afford health care.*
The GOP hope new “association plans“ and expanded access to health savings accounts will magically keep premiums down even as direct financial help disappears. This timeline is SO bogus.
This bill will do nothing that actually lowers cost making it easier for smaller businesses to offer healthcare will not have much of a impact when they can still choose not to do it. Health savings accounts might help if you are young and get them but will be a loss for everyone else.
So the plan is to kill the surplus population. Nice work assholes.
New Health care bill = Take two asprins and call somebody who gives a shit
So the Gop’s shiny new health bill is basically: Let’s dismantle Obamacare’s subsidies and still call it healthcare reform. Absolute bullshit!
So it’s a concept of a concept?
Do you remember when Jon Stewart went before congress to beg for care to first responders effected by the 9/11 wreckage?
It was non other than Mike Johnson at the other end of the room, looking down on them from that bench with a fucking smirk on his face.
The man is straight garbage.
These people are so out of touch with the common man. This country has become evil with greed.
Is this more „providing access to care“ vs affordable care performative bullshit? ‚Cause it sure smells like it is.
The Republicans have their only option to extend the subsidiaries but don’t want to because that would actually require them to confront reality that their plans are failing.
Seriously, only three votes.
So the GOP’s new plan is to kick out your teeth and pawn them off to pay their billionaire overlords
Here’s the basic idea of an HSA:
> You save money for when you get sick.
> If you get sick, you pay for your healthcare with the money you saved.
> If you need healthcare and you can’t pay for healthcare, you don’t get healthcare.
> The End.
Of course, the problem is that nobody knows how much healthcare they’ll need. If you live to 100 with no significant health issues and then die in your sleep, or if you’re instantly killed in a car accident tomorrow: healthcare = $0. Or maybe you’ll need an organ transplant, or experience a chronic health condition that requires a lifetime of care and expensive drugs: healthcare = $10,000,000.
Even looking past the small issue that people won’t be able to save $10,000,000 – this system is grossly inefficient on an individual level. If you save more for healthcare than you end up spending, then you’ve forgone better uses of that money during your life. And if you save less for healthcare than you end up needing, then you suffer and possibly die from conditions that our healthcare system could have solved.
But what is unknowable for a single person can be reliably predicted for a mass of people, thanks to the law of large numbers. So it’s more efficient *for everyone* if everyone pays into a pool, and the pool pays out for whatever healthcare is needed. And the efficiencies and confidence scale with population size.
Every other developed nation has figured this out. Republicans won’t let Americans understand that principle because they prefer a healthcare system that makes some people rich while other people suffer.
Laughably weak and a major backwards step, as expected. So tired of these ghouls attacking the ACA after 15 years.
These rat fucks are comically evil.
Republican healthcare plan:
1) Don’t get vaccinated
2) Don’t get sick
3) If you do get sick, it’s not our fault
4) If it’s serious, you’d best pray to Jeebus to save you
5) The population is too large. Cull the herd.
Hey MAGA!!
Hundreds of thousands of you, maybe millions, are going to die because of Trump and the Republikan Party.
Go fuck yourselves!!
The new „Just Die“ plan.
The republicans voted to get rid of all their healthcare and give all their money to billionaires. How can they be mad that they are getting exactly what they wanted?
Side note: there aren’t rules to life. I just ignore anyone who’s republican anymore. They don’t respect my neighbors so I’m not obligated to respect them.
And just like that, American life expectancy dropped even further!
Lowest in the G20, but don’t worry, Trump will make sure it gets worse
HSAs aren’t a fucking healthcare plan.
Republicans: We’re gonna give you guys $1,500 so you can get your own healthcare while your premiums over the year will well exceed that amount! How’s that sound?
MAGA: Sounds good to me!
The GOP consists of Russian plants; Evangelical Christian theocrats; fascist thugs; traitors; really, really dumb voters; and corrupt billionaires who support the whole thing.
In 2014 I was okay with the ACA; it wasn’t perfect but it would help a lot of people without completely destroying our insurance infrastructure which as bad as it is, still employs a lot of people.
Now I’m a single issue voter, Medicare for all, free at POS healthcare. No gaps, no caps no exceptions. Make it like the library. Taxes, that you never notice pay for it and everyone can consult a professional when they need.
Burn the current system to the ground.
Ah yes, the Don.T Care Act.
Can’t wait to see it.
they’ll pass a bill that does nothing to fix the problem they’ve created and then they’ll *really* own it.
After 8-10 years bitching about the ACA, the plan the ‘family values/but the children’ party comes up with…don’t get sick; if you do, die quickly
Republicans love of Saturday morning cartoon supervillainry is something
These people stand up there and say this with a straight face. It is obscene.
It’s all scammy shit. Association health plans? GTFO with that. Had one of those before ACA. They were expensive and covered all of almost nothing. This bill should be presented by an aging sitcom or NFL star.
How do you put money in a health savings account if you can’t afford to save?
They just can’t get out of their own way or ours. We need to move them aside next November.
„It’s for the poors“. Mike Johnson
They had what like 15 years, and this is the best they come up with??
Lol this bill is such an unserious proposal that does nothing to solve the root issues in our healthcare system or lower anyone’s costs.
The GOP is a complete clown car. They are incapable of doing any actual legislating or governing. All they can do is virtue signal to their rabid base and make up issues to scare the rubes about.
Shocker.
The French, whom Americans love to mock as weak, have set their own country on fire because their government did less than this.
By the time this happens, my open enrollment window will be closed. So it doesn’t matter one bit. They have failed the American people in so many ways.
So their healthcare plan is a savings account?
Fuck the republicans
So… how it was before the ACA, but now with an HSA to siphon off even more money from people barely making it between paychecks? Fabulous. Anything but tax the rich and make life more bearable for everyone else.
Remember when the democrats closed the government for a month to “fight” for these subsidies and then caved without any kind of guarantee for those subsidies?
Pepperidge farms remembers.
