Likely the junk insurance was cheaper, and it did give the policy holder some peace of mind as long as they didn't have to use it but the ACA policies are a much better deal.<br /><br />The problem the Democrats created in their strategy to sell the ACA was that, in an attempt to save privatized insurance they weren't willing to attack it, or even represent it as a compromise, while putting single payer on the table at the outset and the ACA only with a public option as their compromise position.<br /><br />Truth be told, the Democratic leadership wanted to save private insurance, that's why they did what they did. The ACA is the industry's preferred policy, and at some point after Chief Justice Roberts had originally decided to rule against its constitutionality it was communicated to him that that powerful interest wanted a decision in the ACA's favor.

Yeah, she could do that. Can you think of any reason she might not choose to do that?<br /><br />[Looks to me like the premium increase to the Federal Simple Choice Gold plan is $262/month $3144/yr (7.5% of the household's gross income) but that's for an embedded Individual Deductible of $1250 (vs. $6150) and a max Individual out-of-pocket of $4750 (vs.$7000).] CMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481861530761114492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-79312819843265960492017-01-10T16:22:36.074-05:002017-01-10T16:22:36.074-05:00David you make inaccurate claims.

US CO2 regulations alone may not be enough to prevent climate change, but they are still completely necessary within the global context, aside for all the local benefits they provide. Regulating CO2 in the US is just one part of process. There is no logic to your reasoning if you think we should abandon regulating pollution. <br /><br />David in fact most economists do not think minimum wage is a bad thing, those that do are partisans which shades their view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-16213027334701033172017-01-10T16:01:14.605-05:002017-01-10T16:01:14.605-05:00C Mike

That is not going to happen on a federal level within the current political context - Republicans control the legislative process. California has come close to passing single payer (was passed but vetoed twice by Gov Arnold Schwarzenegger) and maybe interest will renew with ACA repeal. <br /><br />The 59 year old lady in Kentucky may represent a concern that needs addressing, although less so amongst the 80% of enrollees with more affordable deductibles. What she does not represent is a health care related reason for Hillary's loss to Trump. I think, as others have pointed, her claims are suspect with regard to relating her health care coverage to how she voted. She does in fact have many options to lower her deductible, for example she could choose the Caresource Gold that has just a $2500 deductible and an increase of only $240 per month to her premium (considering her income a rather modest concern).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-75707928545871992412017-01-10T14:46:29.965-05:002017-01-10T14:46:29.965-05:00"Nowhere did I say that health care is predic..."Nowhere did I say that health care is predicted by the cost of a Big Mac.

When we compare our overall spending to that of France, who's siphoning all that extra money out of our national health care?"<br /><br />That's a great question. I would assume that there are health policy experts who have studied the question, who could tell us the impact of various factors, such as higher pharaceutical prices in the US, malpractice insurance and the extra treatments caused by malpractice lawsuits, higher salaries for various health care workers, etc. And, maybe Americans are getting somewhat better care. <br /><br />All this stuff is more or less measurable. There are people who know the answer. But, the public never sees the answer. Our media don't seek it out. I wonder whether people in power who create policy know the answer.

You have to come up with the money anyway because to go without is unacceptable.<br /><br />Examples: When I was unemployed for 6 months, I could not afford the rent on my 2 bedroom apartment. I could not afford Christmas presents for my daughter, then 4 yo. When I had cancer, before Obamacare or any other plan for the self-employed, I could not afford the monthly health insurance of over $1000 per month, but I paid it anyway. When I was divorced and my car failed, I still needed to get to work every day. I paid off a car at 19% interest because I had no credit rating as a divorced woman. <br /><br />How did I find the money to do the things I couldn't afford? Sometimes I borrowed from relatives. Sometimes I worked an extra job. Always I sacrificed things that other people considered necessities.<br /><br />That's what responsible people do. So, no, I cannot understand someone who thinks they cannot go to the doctor because the doctor might find something that needs treatment. And no, I cannot understand the people who complain about the things they cannot afford, as if life for them should be different than it is for so many of us.<br /><br />Life is a struggle. When there is help, it is a blessing, not something to whine about. What is the point of paying $200 a month for a $6000 deductible? You'll find out.

My bill for exam - no breast or vaginal exam - just bending my knees & elbows was &355; a simple one tube of blood test was $970. I've never been back & it's been 3 years. Thanks for caring enough to read this missive from the front lines.Cirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-72356919965818083822017-01-10T06:19:51.870-05:002017-01-10T06:19:51.870-05:00Dr. T: ...A friend of mine who I was trying to hel...Dr. T: <i>...A friend of mine who I was trying to help says <b>he makes $21,000 a year</b> and that after the subsidy <b>a bronze plan would cost him $200 a month.

As I am lucky enough to have some income, our family (my spouse ~59 and two college kids 22,24; with me covered by Medicare) does not get any subsidy. <b>We paid a ~$1,000/month premium in 2016 (and now $1,150/mo in 2017).
