You’ll soon be able to roll all your healthcare costs into your 50-year second mortgage!
Fantastic plan. After paying for 50 years and paying twice the original cost, the house will belong to the healthcare company. Just like god intended.
Also, worth calling out the fact that the ACA would have been much better and more comprehensive and cheaper for EVERYONE from the get-go were it not for republic, as well as the insurance lobbyists
That cocksucker needs to die
First of all, it’s definitely not his own idea. Let’s see what his team came up with…
People already get money to buy their health insurance, but it’s in the form of a discount code – just like the ones you use when you buy something online. It’s a little different, but it works something like this: the government gives ACA health plans a discount code for everyone who buys ACA coverage.
But as usual, Republicans are cooking up an idea that will make health insurance more expensive for hard-working Americans – all while helping rich people get a sweet tax deal. Their idea works like this: instead of giving the discount code to health plans, Republicans want to give people money to put into a health savings account. That sounds like a good deal, but it’s not, and here’s why: these savings accounts can only be used with what we call “high deductible health plans” – plans that won’t pay for your doctor visits or other health care until you “hit” your deductible, which can be very expensive. In 2025, the average deductible for a family enrolled in these kinds of plans was nearly $7,000.
Yes: make it sound good on the surface but make sure big corpo gets even more money from the unwashed masses in the end.
If they’re just sending people money to buy healthcare, people aren’t going to use it for healthcare and then they’re going to have problems, go to the hospital and not pay their bills, which will then raise prices across the board.
