Fingers crossed treason charge would have consequences. Wishful thinking?
Right!? A year before I qualified 4 medicare I signed up for subsidized ins 2 avoid penalty. My premium was $1 but ins got $1,4k ea month whether I used svcs or not. I canceled and paid the penalty. Get for-profit ins out of healthcare!

It does however show how the dems failed a large portion of the population, so that they would vote for a despicable person rather than the status quo.

01.11.2025 04:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0"Completely unnecessary middleman." That sums it up nicely. The taxpayer savings could easily retrain those employees into more useful jobs with money to spare.
01.11.2025 04:26 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Well, I really, really, really hate to admit, but he's right. Subsidies to for-profit insurance companies is the best way to continue to increase the cost of healthcare cuz it charges the taxpayers whether services are used or not. There are alternatives but sound too much like socialism.
01.11.2025 04:08 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Do the research yourself. The 1973 HMO act allowed for-profit companies access to healthcare. And the prices have gone up and up and up. Before that, healthcare was affordable. Now it's not and the subsidies that have shut the gov't down go 100% to for-profit insurers. Is that really what we want?
01.11.2025 04:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Mostly because those subsidies that have shut the gov't down all go to for-profit insurance agencies. They charge the taxpayer whether services are used or not. My Covered-Cal premium was $1 to me and $1,400 to BlueShield, EVERY MONTH, and I hardly used it so went without until medicare.

Medical fees are strictly regulated by the Japanese government to maintain affordability and prevent profit-driven pricing.
Another example of how to do healthcare. For-profit insurance is deplorable! Get them out of US healthcare! ty
01.11.2025 03:48 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 1Yes for now. But the tax credits are given to for-profit insurance companies whether services are used or not, unlike medi-cal & medicare. Prolonging this stupidity is necessary only until someone figures out how to get insurance OUT! ty
01.11.2025 03:43 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We need to help people cover costs, but we also need to replace subsidized healthcare by eliminating for-profit insurance companies. They are the reason healthcare is unaffordable. Please speak of a plan to do that and everyone would vote for it.

21.10.2025 21:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes, but Dems want to keep using taxpayer dollars to subsidize for-profit insurance companies who charge whether or not people use services. If healthcare is gonna serve us all then we need a plan to get insurance companies OUT! ty
