i think we got off on the wrong foot, i think u wanted to argue with me because you think i support trump. I don’t like trump.. never have never will. I don’t support either side cause at the end of the day all the higher ups are corrupt and do weird shii behind closed doors. I was just responding to this cause obama wasn’t innocent either. None of the presidents ever are. I promise u i just argue for the love of the game idgaf abt nun of this😭😭

I should rephrase my claim. Health insurance deductibles and insurance premiums were raised due to the ACA or ObamaCare. Google works

Anonymous replying to -> #5 11h

no, the aca reduced insurance costs through subsidies, the creation of exchanges, and the individual mandate. google is free bud

Anonymous replying to -> #7 11h

Yes, Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) has significantly increased health insurance premiums and deductibles, though the net cost to most consumers depends on federal subsidies. 1. That comes out of the tax pool that people are already paying into. 2. Not everyone gets the subsidies and they have the pay the higher premiums and deductibles. 3. Any time the government gets involved with subsidies and or “free money” the cost goes up. Examples are health insurance, housing, college.

your comment is not very incoherent. you haven’t provided any evidence for the aca increasing costs or the mechanism by which it would increase costs. and government subsidies reduce costs, not increase costs. that is why the expiration of aca subsidies this year under trump has caused prices to significantly increase.

From the House of Representatives The average price paid for health insurance (“premiums”) jumped by 143 percent between 2013 and 2019. At the same time that premiums more than doubled in the individual market, deductibles for ACA-compliant coverage also increased by an average of 35% — over $1,700 for individuals and $3,600 for families. Over 10 years, spending on health care per person increased by 28.7 percent.

Covid is no longer going on. Why would he keep them. And this is copied and pasted from google- Government subsidies frequently lead to higher prices, though their exact impact on the market depends on how the subsidy is applied and the supply-and-demand dynamics of the specific industry.

because the subsidies were leading to lower prices… without the subsidies, prices have sharply increased. prices are higher under trump. this is a fact. you’re wrong.

and government subsidies affect supply and demand. here’s an example- college costs so much because people are able to borrow money from the government to pay for it. colleges would not be able to charge the amount they do because no one can afford it, but since uncle sam will subsidize people going to school the college can charge whatever they want and know they will get paid
